Kevin Pape Project Manager January 14, 2009 ABSTRACT Under contract to ENTRAN, Gray & Pape, Inc. has prepared recommendations concerning the archaeological potential of Segment II/III of the Eastern Corridor Multimodal Projects (HAM-SR32-0.00, PID 22970; FHWA-OH-EIS-04-02), located in Hamilton and Clermont Counties, Ohio. The recommendations are based on a model developed by Gray & Pape, Inc. using the results of previous work conducted for the project (Weed 2002), documentary research, interviews with landowners and other knowledgeable parties, and an informal reconnaissance of the project area. Gray & Pape, Inc. divided the project area into three zones: Zone 1 is the undeveloped floodplains and terraces of the Little Miami River. Zone 2 includes floodplains and terraces that have been developed in historical times, and Zone 3 includes the valley and uplands east of the Village of Newtown. -

Antidegradation Classifications Assigned to State and National Scenic Rivers in Ohio Under Proposed Rules, March 25, 2002
State of Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Antidegradation Classifications Assigned to State and National Scenic Rivers in Ohio under Proposed Rules, March 25, 2002 March 25, 2002 prepared by Division of Surface Water Division of Surface Water, 122 South Front St., PO Box 1049, Columbus, Ohio 43215 (614) 644-2001 Introduction Federal Water Quality Standard (WQS) program regulations require that States adopt and use an antidegradation policy. The policy has two distinct purposes. First, an antidegradation policy must provide a systematic and reasoned decision making process to evaluate the need to lower water quality. Regulated activities should not lower water quality unless the need to do so is demonstrated based on technical, social and economic criteria. The second purpose of an antidegradation policy is to ensure that the State’s highest quality streams, rivers and lakes are preserved. This document deals with the latter aspect of the antidegradation policy. Section 6111.12(A)(2) of the Ohio Revised Code specifically requires that the Ohio EPA establish provisions “ensuring that waters of exceptional recreational and ecological value are maintained as high quality resources for future generations.” Table 1 explains the proposed classification system to accomplish this directive. The shaded categories denote the special higher resource quality categories. The proposed rule contains 157 stream segments classified as either State Resource Waters (SRW) or Superior High Quality Waters (SHQW). The approximate mileage in each classification is shown in Table 1. The total mileage in both classifications represents less than four percent of Ohio’s streams. Refer to “Methods and Documentation Used to Propose State Resource Water and Superior High Quality Water Classifications for Ohio’s Water Quality Standards” (Ohio EPA, 2002) for further information about the process used to develop the list of streams. -

In the beginning… Lighthouse Architects & Contractors • Starting in the 1790s, contractors bid on LH construction projects advertised in local newspapers. • Bids reviewed by regional Superintendent of Lighthouses, a political appointee, who informed U.S. Treasury Dept of his selection. • Superintendent approved final contract and supervised contractor during building process. Creation of Lighthouse Board • Effective in 1852, U.S. Lighthouse Board assumed all duties related to navigational aids. • U.S. divided into 12 LH districts with inspector (naval officer) assigned to each district. • New LH construction supervised by district inspector with primary focus on quality over cost, resulting in greater LH longevity. • Soon, an engineer (army officer) was assigned to each district to oversee construction & maintenance of lights. Lighthouse Bd Responsibilities • Location of new / replacement lighthouses • Appointment of district inspectors, engineers and specific LH keepers • Oversight of light-vessels of Light-House Service • Establishment of detailed rules of operation for light-vessels and light-houses and creation of rules manual. “The Light-Houses of the United States” Harper’s New Monthly Magazine, Dec 1873 – May 1874 … “The Light-house Board carries on and provides for an infinite number of details, many of them petty, but none unimportant.” “The Light-Houses of the United States” Harper’s New Monthly Magazine, Dec 1873 – May 1874 “There is a printed book of 152 pages specially devoted to instructions and directions to light-keepers. -

Appendix A. Darke County
MIAMI VALLEY REGION AREAWIDE WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN Appendix A. Darke County A.1 DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION Darke County is located in the northwest portion of the Miami Valley Region as shown in Figure A-1 and encompasses approximately 600 square miles, or 26% of the planning area. Figure A-1. Darke County Location Map Land use within Darke County is predominately rural, with over 80% of the land used for agricultural production. Darke County has the second highest concentration of animal feeding operations (AFOs) in Ohio. The County is characterized by small villages and wide open spaces. There are also several natural open spaces along stream corridors designated for recreational use and wildlife preservation. A.1.1 Communities in Darke County Although Darke County includes several communities, it is not heavily populated. The most recent 20-year projections indicate that the population in Darke is expected to remain constant. Although the population projections indicate overall growth in Darke County over the next 20 years, the population within the Stillwater River watershed in the county is not anticipated to change significantly. The administrative boundaries within this area are listed in Table A-1. Table A-1.

2000 Lake Erie Lamp
Lake Erie LaMP 2000 L A K E E R I E L a M P 2 0 0 0 Preface One of the most significant environmental agreements in the history of the Great Lakes took place with the signing of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement of 1978 (GLWQA), between the United States and Canada. This historic agreement committed the U.S. and Canada (the Parties) to address the water quality issues of the Great Lakes in a coordinated, joint fashion. The purpose of the GLWQA is to “restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the waters of the Great Lakes Basin Ecosystem.” In the revised GLWQA of 1978, as amended by Protocol signed November 18, 1987, the Parties agreed to develop and implement, in consultation with State and Provincial Governments, Lakewide Management Plans (LaMPs) for lake waters and Remedial Action Plans (RAPs) for Areas of Concern (AOCs). The LaMPs are intended to identify critical pollutants that impair beneficial uses and to develop strategies, recommendations and policy options to restore these beneficial uses. Moreover, the Specific Objectives Supplement to Annex 1 of the GLWQA requires the development of ecosystem objectives for the lakes as the state of knowledge permits. Annex 2 further indicates that the RAPs and LaMPS “shall embody a systematic and comprehensive ecosystem approach to restoring and protecting beneficial uses...they are to serve as an important step toward virtual elimination of persistent toxic substances...” The Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement specifies that the LaMPs are to be completed in four stages. These stages are: 1) when problem definition has been completed; 2) when the schedule of load reductions has been determined; 3) when P r e f a c e remedial measures are selected; and 4) when monitoring indicates that the contribution of i the critical pollutants to impairment of beneficial uses has been eliminated. -

Approximately 10,600 acres of land will be required for the project, with 2,160 acres of water surface at seasonal pool elevation. The ecology of the area would be modified to adjust to the slack water impoundment. Environment downstream would be enhanced by flood control, water quality control, and water supply. Agricultural lands will be inundated. Urbanization of the area can be expected to increase rapidly. 3 * Adverse Environmental Effects Which Cannot be Avoided.
