While many individuals and organizations have been influential in the Androscoggin River’s cleanup, I would like to recognize John Nutting for his significant efforts in that area. In 1988, Nutting authored the Color-Odor-Foam Clean River Bill. In 1996, he authored the Dioxin Bill. Then, in 2006, he authored a bill to lower phosphorous discharge into the river. With the return of the river’s viability, Leeds, Livermore and Turner have garnered both environmental and economic benefits. ~ Ann Edwards, Leeds
