Talk:James River

message: It's my understanding that the river doesn't actually divide the city of Lynchburg. The river divides Lynchburg from the Amherst County.  Madison Heights is on the north side of the river.  Is this correct, or are MapQuest and my official Virginia map both lying to me?  --MPD01605 (T / C) 02:41, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You are correct based on the GIS maps I have. The city line is essentially the west bank of the river except for the portion between Daniel Island and US 29 where it runs on the east bank. Saying the river divides Lynchburg is incorrect. --Polaron | Talk 04:02, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposal to move page to "James River" 

message: This page contains no environmental information about the river at all! That is a major deficiency.
I was recently in Richmond and saw signs warning people not to eat fish caught in the river do to PCB contamination. Where did that come from?
Other signs mentioned the type of fish in the river, particularly the highly endangered (enormous!) Atlantic sturgeon. 
Still other signs described in detail the process by which sewage is dumped into the river during heavy rains. 
It would really improve the article if an expert could add something about these or similar things.
