Ohio River Basin Pilot Study Institute for Water Resources–Responses to Climate Change Program Ohio River Basin Pilot Study CWTS report 2017-01, May 2017 OHIO RIVER BASIN– Formulating Climate Change Mitigation/Adaptation Strategies through Regional Collaboration with the ORB Alliance U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Ohio River Basin Alliance Institute for Water Resources, Responses to Climate Change Program Sunrise on the Ohio River. January, 2014. i Institute for Water Resources–Responses to Climate Change Program Ohio River Basin Pilot Study i Institute for Water Resources–Responses to Climate Change Program Ohio River Basin Pilot Study Ohio River Basin Climate Change Pilot Study Report ABSTRACT The Huntington District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in collaboration with the Ohio River Basin Alliance, the Institute for Water Resources, the Great Lakes and Ohio River Division, and numerous other Federal agencies, non-governmental organizations, research institutions, and academic institutions, has prepared the Ohio River Basin Climate Change Pilot Report. Sponsored and supported by the Institute for Water Resources through its Responses to Climate Change program, this report encapsulates the research of numerous professionals in climatology, meteorology, biology, ecology, geology, hydrology, geographic information technology, engineering, water resources planning, economics, and landscape architecture. The report provides downscaled climate modeling information for the entire basin with forecasts of future precipitation and temperature changes as well as forecasts of future streamflow at numerous gaging points throughout the basin. These forecasts are presented at the Hydrologic Unit Code-4 sub-basin level through three 30-year time periods between 2011 and 2099. The report includes the results of preliminary investigations into the various impacts that forecasted climate changes may have on both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and operating water resources infrastructure. In addition, the report presents a menu of potential mitigation and adaptation strategies that could be instituted by Federal, state, regional, municipal, and county jurisdictions as well as individual and corporate land owners to attenuate the anticipated impacts of a changing climate. Among these strategies is a proposal that the current policies guiding the operation of basin water resources infrastructure be reviewed in light of the challenges that a new hydrologic regimen may present. The report concludes with a series of lessons learned from the research and study processes, which hopefully will assist others during future investigations of this timely and pressing issue. i Institute for Water Resources–Responses to Climate Change Program Ohio River Basin Pilot Study Preface This document is a result of a proposal by the Huntington District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to conduct a pilot study through the Responses to Climate Change Program (RCC) being administered by the Institute for Water Resources (IWR). The primary purpose of the pilot study was to investigate climate change effects that could adversely impact the operations, maintenance, and rehabilitation of Civil Works Water Resources infrastructure in the Ohio River Basin (ORB), and thereby jeopardize the authorized missions of those facilities. A secondary purpose of the pilot study was to investigate the potential effects of climate change on those basin ecosystems that can be influenced by the operation and rehabilitation of USACE infrastructure and associated Federal lands. Storage and release of surface waters at 83 USACE reservoirs and lakes provides a multitude of opportunities to attenuate climate change effects on downstream and lake aquatic communities and riparian habitat in watersheds where those facilities are located. The collaborative aspect of the study involved extensive coordination and team building among the four USACE districts in the basin and members within the Ohio River Basin Alliance. Altogether, 18 professionals from USACE, IWR, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/National Weather Service (NWS), The Nature Conservatory (TNC), Battelle Memorial Institute (Battelle), and several universities collaborated in compiling data, downscaled modeling, basin outreach, and climate change investigations for the basin. This document has no fewer than 12 authors involved in its writing. Those authors include Dr. Paul Kirshen of the University of New Hampshire, Dr. Elly Best of the USEPA, Dr. Harry Stone of Battelle, Dr. Jeffery Kovatch of Marshall University, Dr. Lilit Yeghiazarian of the University of Cincinnati, Mr. Jim Noel of the Ohio River Forecast Center (OHRFC), Mr. John Stark of TNC, Mr. Erich Emery of the Ohio River and Great Lakes Division office, Mr. Joseph Trimboli of the Huntington District, Dr. David Raff and Dr. Jeff Arnold of the IWR, and R. Gus Drum of the Huntington District. This team would like to acknowledge the contributions to the study by Mr. Kurt Buchanan of the Huntington District, Mr. Dick Bartz and Mr. Jim Morris of the USGS, Ms. Deborah Lee of the Great Lakes and Ohio River Division office, Ms. Joy Broach of the Nashville District, Mr. Juan Barrios of Marshall University, Mr. David Moore and members of his staff at Tetra Tech, and Mr. Doug Kluck of NOAA. The team also acknowledges the work of Mr. Tom Maier of the Pittsburgh District, Ms. Ramune Morales of the Nashville District, and Dr. Beth Hall of NOAA in reviewing and revising the draft document. Mr. Mark Kessinger was the USACE project manager (now retired) for the study and watched over the schedule and funding throughout the journey. Last but surely not least, the entire team wishes to thank Dr. Kate White from the IWR for her guidance, patience, and wisdom in championing this effort through the study and document preparation process. i Institute for Water Resources–Responses to Climate Change Program Ohio River Basin Pilot Study In Memory of Dr. Jeffrey Kovatch Dr. Jeffrey Kovatch, Marshall University Associate Professor of Biological Sciences and beloved husband and father, passed away on November 5, 2016 after a short illness.

Sample locations were either stratified by drainage area or selected to ensure adequate representation of principal linear reaches. In addition, some sites were selected to support development of Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) models or because they are part of Ohio EPA’s reference data set. Four major municipal and two major industrial NPDES permitted entities exist in the study area (Table 1). Beyond assuring that sample locations were adequate to assess these potential influences, the survey was broadly structured to characterize possible effects from other pollution sources. These sources include minor permitted discharges, unsewered communities, agricultural or industrial activities, and oil, gas or mineral extraction.

  • Your Guide to Mohican Country Geographic References –
    YOUR GUIDE TO MOHICAN COUNTRY GEOGRAPHIC REFERENCES By IRV OSLIN Black Fork of the Mohican River — Originates near Shelby, flowing through Richland and Ashland counties. It is impounded by Charles Mill Dam. Downstream of the dam, Black Fork flows under Ohio 603 and Ohio 39, through Perrysville and Loudonville (including the liveries south of the village Ohio 3). The Native American village of Greentown was located on the stretch between Rocky Fork and Perrysville, downstream of County Road 1075. Rocky Fork of the Mohican River flows into Black Fork downstream from Charles Mill Dam. Rocky Fork flows down from Mansfield. Rocky Fork flows under Ohio 603 between Ohio 95 and Ohio 39. Charles Mill Dam — Impounds Black Fork of the Mohican River south of Mifflin. Charles Mill Lake — Not to be confused with Charles Mill Dam. The lake is the body of water behind the dam. Note, Charles Mill Lake and Charles Mill Lake Park are managed by the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District. The dam is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It is NOT Charles Mill Reservoir, as some call it. Charles Mill Lake Park — A Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District-run park on the shores of Charles Mill Lake. Note, the campground, marina and beach are in Ashland County. The western half of the lake and Eagle Point Campground (on Ohio 430) are in Richland County. Cinnamon Lake — The lake itself is an impoundment of Muddy Fork of the Mohican River. The privately run residential community surrounding it is the third- largest in the county after the City of Ashland and Loudonville.

Little is known regarding the effect of anthropogenic isolating mechanisms (stream alteration, habitat fragmentation, or dams) on levels of genetic diversity or structure. Conservation needs for this species include assessing levels of fine-scale genetic structure at the state-level and determining the number of discrete genetic groupings, genetic diversity, and effective population size (Ne) across Pennsylvania watersheds of the Allegheny, and Western Branch of the Susquehanna Rivers. These watersheds are located within the core of the Eastern Hellbender range and represent one of the few stable locations in the country. We examined the landscape genetics of 13 distinct stream reaches, represented by 284 Eastern Hellbenders, using both spatial and non-spatial Bayesian genetic approaches. Pennsylvania populations of Eastern Hellbenders are characterized by significant genetic structure that is partitioned among dendritic river drainages. Bayesian clustering analysis inferred four discrete genetic clusters (three within the Allegheny River drainage and one within the Susquehanna River drainage).
