  • Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District – Euclid Creek Report
    NORTHEAST OHIO REGIONAL SEWER DISTRICT 2018 Euclid Creek Environmental Monitoring Biological, Water Quality and Habitat Survey Results Prepared by Water Quality and Industrial Surveillance Division 2018 Euclid Creek Environmental Monitoring Results April 22, 2019 Introduction In 2018, the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District (NEORSD) conducted water chemistry sampling, habitat assessments, and fish and benthic macroinvertebrate community surveys on Euclid Creek. Euclid Creek drains the communities of South Euclid, Lyndhurst, Willoughby Hills, Richmond Heights, Highland Heights, Euclid and Cleveland before emptying into Lake Erie. Sampling was conducted by NEORSD Level 3 Qualified Data Collectors certified by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) in Fish Community and Benthic Macroinvertebrate Biology, Chemical Water Quality and Stream Habitat Assessments as explained in the NEORSD study plan 2018 Euclid Creek Environmental Monitoring approved by Ohio EPA on April 3, 2018. One of the study objectives at river miles (RM) 0.40, 0.55 and 1.65, on the main branch of Euclid Creek, was to assess the attainment status of the stream segments. The sites at RM 0.55 and 1.65 are also required under the Ohio EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit No. 3PA00002*HD. The site at RM 0.40 was evaluated post restoration for water chemistry, fish, macroinvertebrates, and habitat. An additional objective at RMs 0.40, 0.55 and 1.65 was to collect pre- and post- construction data of three NEORSD Project Clean Lake capital improvement projects that will reduce the current amount of over 60 combined sewer overflow (CSO) discharges per year to less than 2 per year entering Euclid Creek.
