  • 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.

  • The Unionidae of the Chagrin River: the Remnant of a Molluscan Fauna1
    The Unionidae of the Chagrin River: The Remnant of a Molluscan Fauna1 MICHAEL A. HOGGARTH2, The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Natural Areas and Preserves, Fountain Square, Columbus, OH 43224 ABSTRACT. The study of the distribution of the Unionidae of Ohio reveals information on the biogeography of this family that may be useful in the study of other groups of animals. Thirty sites on the Chagrin River and its major tributaries, the East and Aurora branches, were sampled for freshwater mussels during this study. A total of 268 specimens representing nine species of the family Unionidae were found. Living and/or freshly dead specimens of eight species were identified. Additionally, a single subfossil fragment of Alasmidonta marginata was taken, indicating that this species once occurred in the river. Three reaches of the Chagrin River system were found to support Unionidae: the Aurora Branch contained five species, the main stem of the Chagrin River below the town of Chagrin Falls contained five species, and the Chagrin River above Chagrin Falls contained seven species. The river above the falls contained the most significant proportion of the fauna in the system, with over 80% of all specimens collected from this reach, and suggests that the falls has not always acted as a barrier to distribution. OHIO J. SCI. 90 (5): 168-170, 1990 INTRODUCTION the collections made. These shells have been deposited at The molluscan fauna of the Chagrin River was the The Ohio State University Museum of Zoology. Hoggarth subject of study nearly 30 years ago (Loos I960). That (1990b) provides a complete account of the Unionidae study reported a fauna consisting of six species of aquatic collected during this study.

  • From the Chagrin River Basin, Northeastern Ohio1

Sci. 0030-0950/82/0004-0181 $2.00/0 LIFE-HISTORY NOTES AND DISTRIBUTIONS OF CRAYFISHES (DECAPODA:CAMBARIDAE) FROM THE CHAGRIN RIVER BASIN, NORTHEASTERN OHIO1 RAYMOND F. JEZERINAC, The Ohio State University, Newark, OH 43055 ABSTRACT. Stream crayfishes were collected from the Chagrin River watershed during 1963-65 to determine their distributional patterns and to gather life-history information. Orconectes rusticus (Girard 1852), probably introduced into the basin in the early 1930s, was the dominant pool-dwelling species in the Chagrin River and Aurora Branch. Orconectespropinquus (Girard 1852), was restricted to the head-water portions of the main stream, the East, the Aurora Branches, and their tributaries; amplexus of this species was observed in September and March. Orconectes sanbornii sanbornii (Faxon 1884), was caught at one locality; this is the first record of its presence in the watershed. Orconectes virilis (Hagen 1870), inhabited pools of the middle and upper portions of the East Branch and its tributaries; its presence in the basin may be a remnant of a more expansive distribution. Orconectes immunis (Hagen 1870), probably a prairie relict, was captured at 2 disjunct localities in the watershed and at 3 other sites in northeastern Ohio. These are the first records of this species in these areas. Cambarus (Puncticambarus) robustus (Girard 1852), was widely distributed and abundant in the pools and riffles of the smaller tributaries and in riffles of the larger streams. An undescribed species, related to Cambarus {Cambarus) bartonii (Fabricius 1798), was captured at 8 localities.

It was the culmination of Ohio’s participation in two recent federal initiatives. The first, in 2010, was the National Coastal Condition Assessment (NCCA), a probabilistic study of Great Lakes and Marine coasts. The second was a state-led study funded by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) completed from 2011-2013 titled the Lake Erie Comprehensive Nearshore Monitoring Program. Details about the inaugural field season are in a study plan titled 2014 Monitoring of Lake Erie and the Maumee River Estuary. The Clean Water Act Sections 305(b) and 303(d) require Ohio EPA to submit biennial reports on the general condition of waters of the state and to develop a prioritized list of those that are not meeting goals. Ohio fulfills this requirement by submitting the Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report (IR).

    Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan A Comprehensive Listing of the Vessels Built from Schooners to Steamers from 1810 to the Present Written and Compiled by: Matthew J. Weisman and Paula Shorf National Museum of the Great Lakes 1701 Front Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605 Welcome, The Great Lakes are not only the most important natural resource in the world, they represent thousands of years of history. The lakes have dramatically impacted the social, economic and political history of the North American continent. The National Museum of the Great Lakes tells the incredible story of our Great Lakes through over 300 genuine artifacts, a number of powerful audiovisual displays and 40 hands-on interactive exhibits including the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. The tales told here span hundreds of years, from the fur traders in the 1600s to the Underground Railroad operators in the 1800s, the rum runners in the 1900s, to the sailors on the thousand-footers sailing today. The theme of the Great Lakes as a Powerful Force runs through all of these stories and will create a lifelong interest in all who visit from 5 – 95 years old. Toledo and the surrounding area are full of early American History and great places to visit. The Battle of Fallen Timbers, the War of 1812, Fort Meigs and the early shipbuilding cities of Perrysburg and Maumee promise to please those who have an interest in local history. A visit to the world-class Toledo Art Museum, the fine dining along the river, with brew pubs and the world famous Tony Packo’s restaurant, will make for a great visit.
