Beneficial Use Support Document Tuscarawas River Basin 2017 Beneficial Use Support Document Tuscarawas River Basin 2017 Newman Creek downstream Boyds Corner Road, RM 1.4 Division of Surface Water Ecological Assessment Section March 2021 Ohio EPA:DSW/EAS Tuscarawas River Basin Tribs Use Support 2017 March 31, 2021 Introduction Ohio EPA has conducted biological and water quality surveys on the Tuscarawas River mainstem in 1983, 1988, 1993, 1995, 2003-2005 and 2017. Figure 1 depicts the 2017 study area which included the entire 130 mile-long Tuscarawas River mainstem and its direct tributaries, but excluded the major sub- watersheds of Sandy Creek, Conotton Creek, Sugar Creek, and Stillwater Creek which are typically surveyed as their own study areas. The drainage area of the 2017 study area was 805 square miles, representing nearly one- third of the entire Tuscarawas River basin drainage area of 2,590 mi2. Larger tributaries to the Tuscarawas River have also been surveyed since the 1980s and the 2017 survey marks the third comprehensive study of the tributaries in the Tuscarawas River watershed by Ohio EPA. As such, the aquatic life use (ALU) designations for the Tuscarawas River and most of the larger streams within the basin have been previously verified using standardized biological field collections. There are however selected waterbodies that are currently undesignated (i.e. not listed in the Ohio WQS) or where the ALU designation is based on the original 1978 and 1985 state water quality standards. The techniques in use at that time did not include standardized approaches to the collection of Figure 1. The 2017 Tuscarawas River and Select Tributaries Study Area. in-stream biological data or numeric biocriteria. This study used biological field data consisting of an assessment of biological communities, habitat and water quality to assess current conditions to either verify the existing ALU or recommend a new ALU (Table 2). While some recommendations may appear to constitute “downgrades” (i.e., WWH to MWH) these changes should not be construed as such because these assessments constitute the first application of an objective and robust data driven process to ascertain the appropriate aquatic life use designation. Results of the biological and habitat assessment for each station sampled in 2017 are presented in Table 3 and the macrohabitat features are found in Table 4. 1 Ohio EPA:DSW/EAS Tuscarawas River Basin Tribs Use Support 2017 March 31, 2021 Recommendations The water quality and habitat of the Tuscarawas River mainstem has been steadily improving since the first surveys were conducted in 1983. A total of 16 sites were sampled in the upper Tuscarawas River from Uniontown (RM 126.7) to Navarre (RM 83.0). The biological and habitat data collected during the 2017 survey supports the existing and recommended use designation of WWH for this segment of the upper Tuscarawas River. The middle and lower Tuscarawas River was sampled from Boliver (RM 78.2) to Coshocton (RM 0.3) at 15 locations. The segment between Boliver and Dover (RM 63.2) had good to exceptional habitat and biological communities which supports the existing use of WWH. The biological and habitat data from New Philadelphia (RM 54.2) to Coshocton was very good to exceptional and support the existing and recommended use of EWH for this segment. This reach has state endangered northern madtoms, state threatened mountain madtoms and a total of 79 species of fish. The following are recommended changes for the Tuscarawas River mainstem based on the 2017 survey: • The segment currently designated MWH in the upper Tuscarawas River from State Street in Barberton at RM 112.9 to Chippewa Creek at RM 103.2 is recommended WWH based on habitat improvements and improved biological communities. • The segment currently designated WWH in the middle and lower Tuscarawas River from the Sugar Creek (RM 58.07) in New Philadelphia to Stillwater Creek (47.0) is recommended EWH based on very good to exceptional habitat and biological communities consistently found within this reach. A total of 65 fish species have been found in this reach. Forty-three streams were evaluated for aquatic life use potential in 2017. The biological and habitat data for 23 streams or stream segments supported the existing use designation of WWH denoted in Table 2 as a plus sign (+). The biological and habitat data supported the existing use of MWH due to channel modification for segments of four upper Tuscarawas tributaries which include Chippewa Creek, Wolf Creek, Hudson Run and Pigeon Creek. The following are recommended verifications or changes for the tributaries in the Tuscarawas River watershed based on the 2017 survey: • The current survey verified WWH aquatic life use was appropriate for seven streams or stream Figure 2. Unnamed trib. to Hudson Run at RM 3.02 segments that had not been verified in previous surveys denoted in Table 1 with the symbol */+. These streams include: Lick Run, Pike Run, Stone Creek, Sippo Creek, Mudbrook Creek, Pancake Creek and Fox Run from Alabama avenue (RM 3.78) to the mouth. • Eight streams that are undesignated or currently designated WWH support a coldwater habitat (CWH) use recommendation based on the cold water adapted fauna residing within (Table 1). These streams include Morgan Run, Sherman Creek, Wolf Creek, Pigeon Run, West Sippo Creek, unnamed tributary to Hudson Run (RM 3.02) (Figure 2), unnamed tributary to Tuscarawas River (RM 79.9) and Metzgers Ditch. 2 Ohio EPA:DSW/EAS Tuscarawas River Basin Tribs Use Support 2017 March 31, 2021 Table 1.

The lower segment of Newman Creek from Beaumont Road (RM1.95) to the mouth currently designated WWH is recommended EWH based on very good to exceptional biological communities and excellent habitat (Table 3). Pigeon Run fully attained the applicable EWH biocriteria and is recommended both exceptional and coldwater. • Shocalog Run (Figure 3) and segments of Fox Run are unverified WWH tributaries in the Upper Tuscarawas River watershed. The biological community ranged from poor to fair and the habitat quality of these streams was also poor, reaching QHEI scores just in the mid 30’s which were among the lowest three habitat scores of the entire 93 habitat assessments conducted in the study area. Shocalog Run and the upper reach of Fox Run are recommended MWH based on the extensive channel modifications present Figure 3. Shocalog Run at RM 0.5 and resulting poor habitat. • Pone Run and Wolf Run are two middle Tuscarawas River tributaries that are significantly impacted by mine drainage from historic mining and have limited biological communities. These streams have either pH values below 4.1 s.u. or intermittently acidic conditions that prevent the establishment of a WWH or MWH biological community. For example, a pH measurement collected in Pone Run at RM 0.1 on 9/26/17 was only 2.97 S.U. These streams are currently 3 Ohio EPA:DSW/EAS Tuscarawas River Basin Tribs Use Support 2017 March 31, 2021 designated WWH but are recommended limited resource water (LRW) due to acid mine drainage (AMD) that precludes attainment of the applicable warmwater habitat biocriteria.

  • Tuscarawas River Watershed TMDL Report
    State of Ohio Environmental Protection Agency September 2009 Tuscarawas River Watershed TMDL Report What are the essential facts? Ohio EPA studied the Tuscarawas River watershed and found water quality problems at several of the locations measured. Water quality improvements can be made with practical, economical actions. Making water quality improvement depends on the participation of the watershed’s residents. What is the significance of this report? The Tuscarawas River Watershed TMDL Report provides information that can be used to help improve and maintain water quality and habitat in the watershed, including ideas from local watershed planning. What is a watershed? A watershed is the land area from which surface runoff drains into a specific body of water.

Some ethnologists believe the Shawnee descended from the Fort Ancient people. The Shawnees were wanderers, who lived in many places in the south. They became associated closely with the Delaware in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Able fighters, the Shawnees stubbornly resisted white pressures until the Treaty of Greene Ville in 1795. At the time of the arrival of the European explorers on the shores of the North American continent, the American Indians were living in a network of highly developed cultures. Each group lived in similar housing, wore similar clothing, ate similar food, and enjoyed similar tribal life. In the geographical northeastern part of North America, the principal American Indian tribes were: Abittibi, Abenaki, Algonquin, Beothuk, Cayuga, Chippewa, Delaware, Eastern Cree, Erie, Forest Potawatomi, Huron, Iroquois, Illinois, Kickapoo, Mohicans, Maliseet, Massachusetts, Menominee, Miami, Micmac, Mississauga, Mohawk, Montagnais, Munsee, Muskekowug, Nanticoke, Narragansett, Naskapi, Neutral, Nipissing, Ojibwa, Oneida, Onondaga, Ottawa, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Peoria, Pequot, Piankashaw, Prairie Potawatomi, Sauk-Fox, Seneca, Susquehanna, Swamp-Cree, Tuscarora, Winnebago, and Wyandot.

  • Early Natural History of a Forested Area Near Dover, Ohio1' 2
    EARLY NATURAL HISTORY OF A FORESTED AREA NEAR DOVER, OHIO1' 2 ROBERT H. GILES, JR. College of Forestry, Wildlife and Range Sciences, Moscow, Idaho 83843 ABSTRACT A 41.5-acre area set aside for forestry research in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, is described, based on early-resident interviews, literature review, and comparisons with adjoining areas. Vegetational composition has not drastically changed since those early days, but frequency and ecological dominance have become modified. The area was first cut in 1900, was grazed through 1930, was burned in the mid-1930's, and was modified by forest management practices in the 1940 s. Animal populations have changed, since the time of the first white settlers (1761), due to modern land uses, for agriculture, wood products, and hunting. Understanding the history of a research area allows more valid interpretation of observations made in the area and will aid in problems of prediction of ecological phenomena. A description of the early biological or natural history of an area, besides being of general interest, provides important information about the area. It helps explain its present status and appearance, reveals some important ecologic factors which formerly affected the area and may still affect it. Early history indicates conditions which influence the response of the area to treatment and evaluation. Whether such a history can provide measurable variables, that can be studied, correlated with reliability, or interpreted with any degree of statistical confidence, is doubtful. This brief study of a forested area near Dover is based on early resident inter- views, literature review, and comparisons with adjoining areas.
