Environmental Concerns.
Trespassers and NoiseRivers can be active recreational areas. Because of this, riverfront properties are plagued by a great deal of activity and noise coming from people using motorized watercraft, yelling and listening to loud music. At the same time, the river brings people through who might choose to stop and trespass on your land for their own purposes. This can be especially problematic for riverfront owners who own nearby beach property.
Environmental Concerns Since the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970, different rivers have fallen under legal protection and have been cleaned up. At the same time, though, certain rivers remains polluted by both point-source polluters, such as sewage systems and factories, and by non-point-source pollution, such as the combined effects of farm runoff and urban storm drains.
