Английская Википедия:Elk River (California)
Материал из Онлайн справочника
Шаблон:Short description The Elk River is a river in the U.S. state of California, originating at Шаблон:Convert elevation in forested highlands southeast of Eureka, California. The north and south forks combine to flow Шаблон:Convert into Humboldt Bay on the south edge of Eureka. The river was called Ka-sha-reh by the Wiyot people, but received its present name after Josiah Gregg's party enjoyed a meal of elk meat near the river on Christmas, 1849.[1]
In 2014, the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board recommended that the Elk River be listed as an impaired waterway because of E. coli contamination 600 times greater than normal.[2]
