  • Portsmouth DUF6 Conversion Final EIS
    Affected Environment 3-1 Portsmouth DUF6 Conversion Final EIS 3 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT This EIS considers the proposed action of building and operating a conversion facility at the Portsmouth site for conversion of the Portsmouth and ETTP DUF6 cylinder inventories. Section 3.1 presents a detailed description of the affected environment for the Portsmouth site. Because the option of shipping cylinders from the ETTP site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, to the Portsmouth site for conversion is part of the proposed action, a detailed description of the affected environment for the ETTP site is provided in Section 3.2. 3.1 PORTSMOUTH SITE The Portsmouth site is located in Pike County, Ohio, approximately 22 mi (35 km) north of the Ohio River and 3 mi (5 km) southeast of the town of Piketon (Figure 3.1-1). The two largest cities in the vicinity are Chillicothe, located 26 mi (42 km) north of the site, and Portsmouth, 22 mi (35 km) south. The Portsmouth site includes the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PORTS), a gaseous diffusion plant previously operated first by DOE and then by USEC. Uranium enrichment operations at PORTS were discontinued in May 2001, and the plant has been placed in cold standby, a nonoperational condition in which the plant retains the ability to resume operations within 18 to 24 months (DOE 2001c). The Portsmouth site occupies 3,714 acres (1,500 ha) of land, with an 800-acre (320-ha) fenced core area that contains the former production facilities. The 2,914 acres (1,180 ha) outside the core area includes restricted buffers, waste management areas, plant management and administrative facilities, gaseous diffusion plant support facilities, and vacant land (Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc.

    Spatial Distribution of Freshwater Mussels (Unionidae) in Ohio Brush Creek Watershed, Southern Ohio A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Jason K. Brown November 2010 © 2010 Jason K. Brown. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Spatial Distribution of Freshwater Mussels (Unionidae) in Ohio Brush Creek Watershed, Southern Ohio by JASON K. BROWN has been approved for the Department of Geography and the College of Arts and Sciences by James M. Dyer Professor of Geography Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT BROWN, JASON K., M.A., November 2010, Geography Spatial Distribution of Freshwater Mussels (Unionidae) in Ohio Brush Creek Watershed, Southern Ohio (77 pp.) Director of Thesis: James M. Dyer Between July and October 2005, 42 sites across Ohio Brush Creek watershed were surveyed to assess the spatial distribution of native freshwater mussels (Unionidae). Freshwater mussel shells were recorded at 28 out of 42 sites representing 14 native species. A total of thirteen species were recorded at 19 sites as living or fresh dead. Associations between the presence, diversity, and abundance of freshwater mussels and coarse-scale variables (drainage area, stream gradient, and percent land cover) and fine- scale variables (200 meter stream-reach habitat features based on Ohio EPA’s Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index (QHEI)) were explored using correlation and chi-square analysis. The presence, diversity, and abundance of mussel shells were associated with both coarse- and fine-scale variables. Drainage area and stream reaches with excellent channel development, high amounts of habitat cover, maximum water depths > 1 meter, and riffle depths > 5 cm were all associated with the presence, diversity, and abundance of mussels.

  • 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.

Kevin M. Hoffman & George F. Shambaugh, Department of Entomology, Ohio Agricultural Research & Development CEnter, Wooster, OHIO 44691 9:00 Drugs which modulate the movements of calcium ions into or within cells were perfused over the desheathed, last abdominal ganglion of the cockroach, Nauphoeta cinerea (Olivier). Synaptic transmission, endogenous spike activity, summed post-synaptic potentials and ganglionic polarization were measured. Sodium nitroprusside in low concentrations caused repetitive firing of giant interneurons after faradic stimulation. CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE NUCLEUS BASALIS AND THE ARCHISTRIATUM IN THE MALLARD. Patrick Work, Department of Biological Sciences, Kent State University, Kent, Ohio 44242. 9:15 Research reported here is part of a study of the feeding mechanism of the mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos) which is being conducted at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands. It was done through a Kent State University-Leiden University student exchange program in the summer of 1980. The research consisted of a neuroanatomical and histochemical investigation of the relationship between the forebrain nuclei basalis and archistriatum anterior. These are believed to be important elements in neural control of the feeding mecha- nism in the duck. Anatomical connections between these nuclei were studied with the aid of horseradish peroxidase injected into the archistriatum anterior nucleus, Peroxidase-labeled cells were found only in the most medial portions of the nucleus basalis from the level of the posterior commissure to the rostral border of the archistriatum anterior.
