Water Body Use Designation INDEX Ohio Water Quality Standards Administrative Code Chapter 3745-1 Water Body Use Designation INDEX Sorted alphabetically by water body name Most Recent Revision: December 22, 2015 (Covers rules effective November 30, 2015) Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Division of Surface Water Lazarus Government Center 50 West Town Street, Suite 700 P.O. Box 1049 Columbus, Ohio 43216-1049 FORWARD What is the purpose of this index? This document contains an alphabetical listing of the water bodies designated in rules 08 to 32 of Chapter 3745-1 of the Administrative Code (Ohio Water Quality Standards). Rules 08 to 30 designate beneficial uses for water bodies in the 23 major drainage basins in Ohio. Rule 31 designates beneficial uses for Lake Erie. Rule 32 designates beneficial uses for the Ohio River. This document is updated whenever those rules are changed. Use this index to find the location of a water body within rules 08 to 32. For each water body in this index, the water body into which it flows is listed along with the rule number and page number within that rule where you can find its designated uses. How can I use this index to find the use designations for a water body? For example, if you want to find the beneficial use designations for Allen Run, find Allen Run on page 1 of this index. You will see that there are three Allen Runs listed in rules 08 to 32. If the Allen Run you are looking for is a tributary of Little Olive Green Creek, go to page 6 of rule 24 to find its designated uses. If you don’t know what water body your Allen Creek is a tributary of, you can refer to the maps in the appendices to rules 08 through 30. The three Allen Creeks listed on page 1 of this index are in rules 24, 13 and 12. Use the state map in the appendix to rule 08 and the basin maps in the appendices to rules 08 to 30 to identify which rule contains the particular Allen Run for which you are searching. Anderson Run is listed twice in the same rule (rule 13). How do I find the use designations for my Anderson Run? If you don’t know whether the Anderson Run you are searching for is a tributary of Captina Creek or Neffs Run, go to the pages in rule 13 on which the Anderson Runs are listed and try to determine which is your Anderson Run based on water bodies listed nearby. The water bodies in rules 08 to 30 are ordered from downstream to upstream and tributaries of a water body are indented. What if the water body I’m looking for isn’t listed in the index? Lakes, beaches and areas near drinking water intakes carry certain use designations by definition. See rule 3745-1-07 for details. For all other water bodies not listed in this index, there are no specific designated uses. Note, however, that the chemical criteria for the protection of human health, aquatic life (warmwater), and wildlife apply to undesignated water bodies. What if I have trouble finding the use designations for a water body? If you have trouble finding the use designations for a water body, or if you have any questions about use designations, contact Chris Skalski at (614) 644-2144.

  • Bulk Water Pricing Framework to Foster Sustainable Water Management in Ontario
    Bulk Water Pricing Framework to Foster Sustainable Water Management in Ontario by Guneet Sandhu A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Sustainability Management (Water) Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2018 © Guneet Sandhu 2018 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Amidst rising concerns for sustainability of water resources, the province of Ontario has placed a temporary moratorium expiring on January 1, 2019 on bulk groundwater extraction by new water bottlers while considering broader reforms in water management policies. Given the projected impacts of climate change, coupled with population and economic growth, episodes of water scarcity are expected to rise in Ontario. Even though measures for sustainable water management are slowly gaining momentum, Ontario’s economy is likely to remain water- intensive with a burgeoning water demand. Therefore, to assure sustainability of water resources, proactive policies need to be developed that can effectively communicate water scarcity and change the consumption behavior of all water-using sectors. Bulk water pricing is an effective economic instrument to manage demand, incentivize use-efficiency and conservation by signaling to users the economic value of water. However, current water extraction charges imposed on few industrial sectors are very small, and hence insufficient not only to foster sustainable water use but also to recover the costs of various resource management initiatives undertaken by the Province of Ontario.

  • 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.

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.

  • Brook Trout Outcome Management Strategy
    Brook Trout Outcome Management Strategy Introduction Brook Trout symbolize healthy waters because they rely on clean, cold stream habitat and are sensitive to rising stream temperatures, thereby serving as an aquatic version of a “canary in a coal mine”. Brook Trout are also highly prized by recreational anglers and have been designated as the state fish in many eastern states. They are an essential part of the headwater stream ecosystem, an important part of the upper watershed’s natural heritage and a valuable recreational resource. Land trusts in West Virginia, New York and Virginia have found that the possibility of restoring Brook Trout to local streams can act as a motivator for private landowners to take conservation actions, whether it is installing a fence that will exclude livestock from a waterway or putting their land under a conservation easement. The decline of Brook Trout serves as a warning about the health of local waterways and the lands draining to them. More than a century of declining Brook Trout populations has led to lost economic revenue and recreational fishing opportunities in the Bay’s headwaters. Chesapeake Bay Management Strategy: Brook Trout March 16, 2015 - DRAFT I. Goal, Outcome and Baseline This management strategy identifies approaches for achieving the following goal and outcome: Vital Habitats Goal: Restore, enhance and protect a network of land and water habitats to support fish and wildlife, and to afford other public benefits, including water quality, recreational uses and scenic value across the watershed. Brook Trout Outcome: Restore and sustain naturally reproducing Brook Trout populations in Chesapeake Bay headwater streams, with an eight percent increase in occupied habitat by 2025.

The stations are listed in downstream order. Tributary streams are indicated by indention. Station names are given in their most recently published forms. Parentheses around part of a station name indicate that the inclosed word or words were used in an earlier published name of the station or in a name under which records were published by some agency other than the Geological Survey. The drainage areas, in square miles, are the latest figures pu~lished or otherwise available at this time. Drainage areas that were obviously inconsistent with other drainage areas on the same stream have been omitted. Under "period of record" breaks of less than a 12-month period are not shown. A dash not followed immediately by a closing date shows that the station was in operation on September 30, 1950. The years given are calendar years. Periods·of records published by agencies other than the Geological Survey are listed in parentheses only when they contain more detailed information or are for periods not reported in publications of the Geological Survey.
