U.S. funds bid to clear ammo from Lake Erie

[GLF]

An uncounted number of artillery shells - some unexploded - litter the bottom of Lake Erie off Ottawa County.

U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D., Toledo) announced yesterday $1.4 million was made available through the U.S. Department of Defense to begin a massive cleanup effort. The Defense Department will use recently developed sensing and mapping technology to identify munitions on both land and water. "We're trying very hard to do what we can to get this major cleanup started," Miss Kaptur said.
