L-1) is in Michigan (59 percent), New York (22 percent), Ohio (10 percent), Indiana (8 percent), and Illinois (1 percent). A very small part is in Pennsylvania. The region makes up 45,715 square miles (118,460 square kilometers). Typically, the land surface is a nearly level to gently sloping glaciated plain (fig. L-2). The average annual precipitation is typically 30 to 41 inches (760 to 1,040 millimeters), but it is 61 inches (1,550 millimeters) in the part of the region east of Lake Erie. -

Chapter 1. Natural History
CHAPTER 1. NATURAL HISTORY CHAPTER 1. NATURAL HISTORY —THE WILDERNESS THAT GREETED THE FIRST SETTLERS The land one sees today traveling through northern Ohio took gone. Thus, some 14,000 years ago as the last glacier receded millions of years to form. We can see evidence of tropical sea into the Lake Erie basin, the first Native Americans arrived and reefs on the Lake Erie Islands and deep ocean sediments here in began to utilize the natural resources that these natural processes the cliffs of the Black River. Ohio was just south of the equator had produced. at that time, some 350 million years ago, and over the millennia The natural history of Sheffield encompasses all those natural has migrated northward to its present position. Mountain features and processes of the environment that greeted the Native building to the east eventually raised the sea floor from under Americans, and later the pioneers, when they first arrived in the waves and erosion by streams, and later glacial ice, began Sheffield. To be sure, the landscape was a magnificent wilderness to sculpture the land. At the same time plants and animals were to the settlers, but it needed to be “tamed” in order to support evolving and began to populate the new land once the ice was the newcomers.

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. -

Buckeye Xpress Project Docket No
Office of Energy Projects May 2019 Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC Docket No. CP18-137-000 Buckeye XPress Project Environmental Assessment Cooperating Agencies: U.S. Army U.S. Forest Corps of Service Engineers Washington, DC 20426 FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20426 OFFICE OF ENERGY PROJECTS In Reply Refer To: OEP/DG2E/Gas 1 Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC Buckeye XPress Project Docket No. CP18-137-000 TO THE INTERESTED PARTY: The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the Buckeye XPress Project, proposed by Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC (Columbia) in the above-referenced docket. Columbia requests authorization to construct and operate facilities in Vinton, Jackson, Gallia, and Lawrence Counties, Ohio and Wayne County, West Virginia. The Buckeye XPress Project would increase the firm natural gas transportation capacity on Columbia’s system by 275 million cubic feet per day. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the Buckeye XPress Project in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Forest Service participated as cooperating agencies in the preparation of the EA. Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to resources potentially affected by the proposal and participate in the NEPA analysis.

Annotated Bibliography of Ohio Ornithology
Annotated Bibliography of Ohio Ornithology Bird records and studies from Ohio Copyright © 2017 Bill Whan Updated 18 November 2017 Below are references, some briefly annotated as underlined text where helpful, to published works on the ornithology of Ohio. Not covered are works not specific to Ohio, or publications concerning game propagation and introductions of alien species. Out-of-print volumes mentioned are on the shelves of good libraries, and increasingly on the Web. Key words (for example, localities, authors, English names of species) may be searched here. Every effort has been made to include all pertinent sources, but such a bibliography must remain a work in progress. The compiler would be grateful to hear from readers who have corrections or additional entries to suggest. After my labors thus far I am moved to offer my profound gratitude to bibliographers of the past, as well as to librarians of the present. This document incorporates bibliographic entries from Gerrick 1968, which in turn incorporates those of Osborn 1930. Users of this list will welcome the news that SORA has been been made available to the public at http://elibrary.unm.edu/sora/ by the University of New Mexico library; this searchable site offers downloadable copies of older back issues of the Auk, the Wilson Bulletin, and more than ten other important ornithological journals. The Ohio Naturalist and its successor the Ohio Journal of Science are also on line at https://kb.osu.edu/dspace/handle/1811/686 . The various natural history society journals of Cincinnati are on-line at http://library.cincymuseum.org/journals.htm , and past issues of the Cleveland Bird Calendar may be read at http://www.clevelandbirdcalendar.com/cbcarchives.htm .
