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. -

New Records of Alien Species in the Ohio Vascular Flora1
New Records of Alien Species in the Ohio Vascular Flora1 MICHAEL A. VINCENT AND ALLISON W. CUSICK, Department of Botany, Miami University, Oxford, OH 45056, and Division of Natural Areas and Preserves, Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Fountain Square, Columbus, OH 43224 ABSTRACT. Examination of specimens of vascular plants from various herbaria, as well as field collections, have revealed 70 taxa not previously reported for Ohio, or previously reported without documentation. This paper documents these new taxa, 44% of which are escapes of woody landscape plants. The specimens cited represent 55 genera in 30 families. Of these, the following genera are first reports for the state: Achyranthes, Albizia, Carthamus, Cercidiphyllum, Cotoneaster, Dactyloctenium, Fontanesia, Gaillardia, Guizotia, Gypsophila, Stenosiphon, Tripsacum, and Zinnia. Cercidiphyllaceae is the only family reported as new for the state. Some taxa cited in this paper represent first reports as escapes for North America. These are Cotoneaster divaricatus (Rosaceae), Fontanesia fortunei (Oleaceae), Magnolia X soulangeana (Magnoliaceae), Magnolia stellata (Magnoliaceae), Viburnum buddleifolium (Capri- foliaceae), and Viburnum x rhytidiphylloides (Caprifoliaceae).
