  • 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.

  • Evaluating Beneficial Use: Recreation
    Ohio 2010 Integrated Report Section F Evaluating Beneficial Use: Recreation F1. Background Prior to the 2002 Integrated Report (IR), the reporting of recreation use impairment in Ohio was sporadic. Section 305(b) reports (1998 and earlier) may have included an indication of the potential for recreation use impairment in various streams, but a cohesive listing was not presented. The 2002 IR employed a uniform methodology to examine readily available data on fecal coliform counts. This approach was based on counting the number of exceedances of the secondary contact recreation use maximum criterion [5000 colony forming units (cfu)/100 ml fecal coliform or 576 cfu/100 ml Escherichia coli (E. coli)]. Any assessment unit with five or more samples over the last five years above these values was listed as having an impaired recreation use. The 2004 IR adopted a more statistically robust methodology for assessing the recreation use attainment of the State’s surface waters linked more directly to the applicable water quality standards. The methodology adopted in 2004 continued to be used through the 2008 IR. The 2008 IR also included a preview of changes anticipated at the time for the 2010 report based on the expectation that the watershed assessment unit (WAU) would change from a larger watershed size (11-digit hydrologic unit) to a smaller watershed size (12-digit hydrologic unit) and on four anticipated revisions to the water quality standards: 1) dropping the fecal coliform criteria; 2) creation of a tiered set of classes of primary contact recreation waters based on recreation use intensity; 3) revision of the geometric mean averaging period; and 4) extension of the recreation season.

  • 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.

    3745-1-21 Great Miami river drainage basin. (A) The water bodies listed in table 21-1 of this rule are ordered from downstream to upstream. Tributaries of a water body are indented. The aquatic life habitat, water supply and recreation use designations are defined in rule 3745-1-07 of the Administrative Code. The state resource water use designation is defined in rule 3745-1-05 of the Administrative Code. The most stringent criteria associated with any one of the use designations assigned to a water body will apply to that water body. (B) Figure 1 of the appendix to this rule is a generalized map of the Great Miami river drainage basin. A generalized map of Ohio outlining the twenty-three major drainage basins and listing associated rule numbers in Chapter 3745-1 of the Administrative Code is in figure 1 of the appendix to rule 3745-1-08 of the Administrative Code. (C) RM, as used in this rule, stands for river mile and refers to the method used by the Ohio environmental protection agency to identify locations along a water body. Mileage is defined as the lineal distance from the downstream terminus (i.e., mouth) and moving in an upstream direction. (D) The following symbols are used throughout this rule: * Designated use based on the 1978 water quality standards; + Designated use based on the results of a biological field assessment performed by the Ohio environmental protection agency; o Designated use based on justification other than the results of a biological field assessment performed by the Ohio environmental protection agency; and L An L in the warmwater habitat column signifies that the water body segment is designated limited warmwater habitat.
