Sample locations were either stratified by drainage area or selected to ensure adequate representation of principal linear reaches. In addition, some sites were selected to support development of Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) models or because they are part of Ohio EPA’s reference data set. Four major municipal and two major industrial NPDES permitted entities exist in the study area (Table 1). Beyond assuring that sample locations were adequate to assess these potential influences, the survey was broadly structured to characterize possible effects from other pollution sources. These sources include minor permitted discharges, unsewered communities, agricultural or industrial activities, and oil, gas or mineral extraction.

  • Your Guide to Mohican Country Geographic References –
    YOUR GUIDE TO MOHICAN COUNTRY GEOGRAPHIC REFERENCES By IRV OSLIN Black Fork of the Mohican River — Originates near Shelby, flowing through Richland and Ashland counties. It is impounded by Charles Mill Dam. Downstream of the dam, Black Fork flows under Ohio 603 and Ohio 39, through Perrysville and Loudonville (including the liveries south of the village Ohio 3). The Native American village of Greentown was located on the stretch between Rocky Fork and Perrysville, downstream of County Road 1075. Rocky Fork of the Mohican River flows into Black Fork downstream from Charles Mill Dam. Rocky Fork flows down from Mansfield. Rocky Fork flows under Ohio 603 between Ohio 95 and Ohio 39. Charles Mill Dam — Impounds Black Fork of the Mohican River south of Mifflin. Charles Mill Lake — Not to be confused with Charles Mill Dam. The lake is the body of water behind the dam. Note, Charles Mill Lake and Charles Mill Lake Park are managed by the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District. The dam is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It is NOT Charles Mill Reservoir, as some call it. Charles Mill Lake Park — A Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District-run park on the shores of Charles Mill Lake. Note, the campground, marina and beach are in Ashland County. The western half of the lake and Eagle Point Campground (on Ohio 430) are in Richland County. Cinnamon Lake — The lake itself is an impoundment of Muddy Fork of the Mohican River. The privately run residential community surrounding it is the third- largest in the county after the City of Ashland and Loudonville.

January, 2014. i Institute for Water Resources–Responses to Climate Change Program Ohio River Basin Pilot Study i Institute for Water Resources–Responses to Climate Change Program Ohio River Basin Pilot Study Ohio River Basin Climate Change Pilot Study Report ABSTRACT The Huntington District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in collaboration with the Ohio River Basin Alliance, the Institute for Water Resources, the Great Lakes and Ohio River Division, and numerous other Federal agencies, non-governmental organizations, research institutions, and academic institutions, has prepared the Ohio River Basin Climate Change Pilot Report. Sponsored and supported by the Institute for Water Resources through its Responses to Climate Change program, this report encapsulates the research of numerous professionals in climatology, meteorology, biology, ecology, geology, hydrology, geographic information technology, engineering, water resources planning, economics, and landscape architecture. The report provides downscaled climate modeling information for the entire basin with forecasts of future precipitation and temperature changes as well as forecasts of future streamflow at numerous gaging points throughout the basin. These forecasts are presented at the Hydrologic Unit Code-4 sub-basin level through three 30-year time periods between 2011 and 2099. The report includes the results of preliminary investigations into the various impacts that forecasted climate changes may have on both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and operating water resources infrastructure.

  • Net Benefits of Recreational Fishing in the Great Lakes, Upper Mississippi River, and Ohio River Basins
    Net Benefits of Recreational Fishing in the Great Lakes, Upper Mississippi River, and Ohio River Basins December 2012 Prepared by: Richard C. Ready1, Gregory L. Poe2, T. Bruce Lauber3, Selmin Creamer3, Nancy A. Connelly3, and Richard C. Stedman3 1. Department of Agricultural Economics, Sociology, and Education, Pennsylvania State University. 2. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, Cornell University. 3. Human Dimensions Research Unit, Department of Natural Resources, Cornell University. Executive Summary This report provides estimates of the net value to anglers of recreational fishing in the Great Lakes and Upper Mississippi and Ohio River basins within the following 12 states: Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York. Within these three basins, particular attention is given to those lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams that are located downstream from all barriers impassable to fish (dams, waterfalls, etc.). It is these waters that the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) considers susceptible to the effects of possible aquatic nuisance species (ANS) transfer between the Great Lakes basin and the Upper Mississippi and Ohio River basins (in either direction). Cornell University (CU) developed an economic model to estimate net baseline recreational fishing values using the travel cost valuation method. The development of these net benefit estimates took place in three stages: (a) a series of focus groups with recreational anglers; (b) surveys of recreational anglers; and (c) the development and estimation of an economic model of angler behavior. The surveys were also used to develop estimates of trip expenditures. Based on fishing license sales data provided by the states, it was estimated that 6.6 million anglers lived and fished in the 12-state study area in 2011.
