  • Ground Water Pollution Potential of Washington County, Ohio

    Ground Water Pollution Potential of Washington County, Ohio

    GROUND WATER POLLUTION POTENTIAL OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, OHIO BY MICHAEL P. ANGLE, JOSH JONAK, AND DAVE WALKER GROUND WATER POLLUTION POTENTIAL REPORT NO. 55 OHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF WATER WATER RESOURCES SECTION 2002 ABSTRACT A ground water pollution potential map of Washington County has been prepared using the DRASTIC mapping process. The DRASTIC system consists of two major elements: the designation of mappable units, termed hydrogeologic settings, and the superposition of a relative rating system for pollution potential. Hydrogeologic settings incorporate hydrogeologic factors that control ground water movement and occurrence including depth to water, net recharge, aquifer media, soil media, topography, impact of the vadose zone media, and hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer. These factors, which form the acronym DRASTIC, are incorporated into a relative ranking scheme that uses a combination of weights and ratings to produce a numerical value called the ground water pollution potential index. Hydrogeologic settings are combined with the pollution potential indexes to create units that can be graphically displayed on a map. Ground water pollution potential analysis in Washington County resulted in a map with symbols and colors, which illustrate areas of varying ground water pollution potential indexes ranging from 56 to 187. Washington County lies within the Nonglaciated Central hydrogeologic setting. The buried valley underlying the present Muskingum River and Ohio River basins contain sand and gravel outwash which are capable of yielding up to 500 gallons per minute (gpm) from properly designed, large diameter wells. Smaller tributaries contain only thin, fine-grained alluvial/lacustrine deposits commonly yielding less than 5 gpm.

    PIONEERS IN WOOD COUNTY, W. VA., VOL. I BY JOHN A. HOUSE 1936‘ BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF EARLY SETTLERS IN WOOD COUNTY PIONEERS IN AND NEAR BELLEVILLE. JOSEPH WOOD The foremost character in the early history of the Belleville colony was Joseph wood, founder of the station, and general manager of the colony, which was planted by William Tilton on his vast holdings in Wood, (then Harrison), County, Virginia, in 1785. Tilton, whowas a wealthy Philadelphia merchant, capitolist and land speculator, camewith the party, and remained for a time, but Woodwas his manager, and later became possessor of the lands on which the settlement was made, Joseph Woodcame to wood County, December 16th, 1785, though he had visit­ ed the spot in the summerbefore, and was several weeks on the way. He married a daughter of James Penthliver, one of his “Pilgrim” colonist party. As Belleville was a part of KanawhaCounty before 1800, there is no rec­ ord at Parkersburg of the event. After the loss of that part of "the original four thousand acres" included in the claim of Dr. Craik, he movedto the Marietta colony, where he acquired prominence, becoming a judge. Later, Judge Wooddisposed of the ramainder of his lands in the Belleville tract, as shownelsewhere, and remained a citizen of the buckeye state until his death. GEORGE D. AVERY George Dollbeare Avery was the proprietor of the Dr. Craik survey, con­ sisting of thirteen hundredseventy-four acres of the Belleville bottoms. Averywas, like most of the first settlers of the Belleville colony, a northern man, yet like other northern men who were pioneers of woodCounty; the Spencers, Cooks, Stokelys, and others, he indulged in the ownership of slaves, when living in a state where he could.

  • British Canoe Union Press Release

    British Canoe Union Press Release

    BRITISH CANOE UNION PRESS RELEASE 2nd October, 2006 The BCU highlights the flaws in the Environment Agencies report into rivers access - Putting pilot voluntary canoe access agreements in place On the 3rd October the Environment Agency will be publishing their report Putting pilot voluntary canoe access agreements in place . The work was carried out by the University of Brighton but commissioned by the Environment Agency (EA). The British Canoe Union (BCU) has raised grave concerns over the piece of work and the manner in which it was undertaken. This announcement highlights the dire lack of public access to rivers in England and Wales, unlike Scotland where there is a right. NB Access to and along water was omitted from the Countryside and Rights of Way Act (2000) that gives public access to land areas. The BCU unsuccessfully lobbied for access to water to be included in the Act and pressed for further government action. England and Wales are unique with 41,000 miles of inland waterways with no public access; whereas in Scotland and other countries there is public access to inland waters. The purpose of the study On behalf of DEFRA the EA asked Brighton University to test and demonstrate the processes involved in negotiating voluntary agreements and to secure voluntary canoe access agreements on four rivers in England (Mersey, Teme, Waveney and Wear). These rivers had featured in an earlier feasibility study carried out by the Countryside Agency. The study concluded that additional access to rivers could be provided through voluntary arrangements, but that more advice and guidance was needed.

Introduction: The report aimed to critically appraise the policy response to the pressure for recreational access to inland waters, notably canoeing access for rivers in England and Wales. The report is divided into three primary sections; (1) historical background and development of the policy response (2) an evaluation of factors influencing the policy response i.e. lobbying groups, government agendas (3) an assessment of the effectiveness of the current policy response, including case studies of the River Wear and River Wye. As the report demonstrates the river access debate is a multifaceted and complex issue that is struggling to find an overarching solution. 2. The Current Situation: Navigation rights are established on tidal waters and approximately 6% of the major and minor canal and river network (Brighton 1, 2001).

Take a Photo and post it with #rtafest—DRawings Every week Kids Hiking (Gnome Hikes) Kroger Wetlands (.6 mile or 1 mile with spur) = Beginner Friendly Behind the Marietta Kroger, Gnomes are said to be hiding in a beautiful wetland area. While hunting for these gnomes you’ll see many types of vegetation & possibly some wildlife while never leaving the city. This is a beginner friendly hike and you have the option to complete the main loop which is about .6 miles total or adding the spur trail (out and back) to make it a 1 mile hike. Be sure to bring bug spray to put on yourself and watch for poison ivy on the sides of the trail. Broughtons Orange Trail (3 miles) = Intermediate A beautiful trail in the Broughton Nature & Wildlife area where Gnomes have migrated to over the years. This trail is about 3 miles long and will be more of a challenge than the Kroger Wetlands. You’ll go up and down twisting through the woods as you search for gnomes that have decided these woods are the perfect place to live. This hike is a lollipop where you will start on a small spur, choose to go either right or left and follow the loop back to the small spur which will then take you back to the parking areas. We’d like to thank Sara Rosenstock for building the Gnomes and the campers at the Betsy Mills Club for painting them—they look amazing! Have Fun and Be Safe! Stay on marked trail The Rivers, Trails & Ales Festival has organized these events for your pleasure.

My “vote” is to ban all boat traffic, commercial or otherwise, from the river. From my standpoint, it is disgusting to see a plastic object like a kayak violating the natural beauty of this rare stream. So, I am against any further degradation of this wild area from an expansion of the stretches where paddling is permitted. Thanks for the opportunity to have my say.
