  • Ground Water Pollution Potential of Washington County, Ohio
    GROUND WATER POLLUTION POTENTIAL OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, OHIO BY MICHAEL P. ANGLE, JOSH JONAK, AND DAVE WALKER GROUND WATER POLLUTION POTENTIAL REPORT NO. 55 OHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF WATER WATER RESOURCES SECTION 2002 ABSTRACT A ground water pollution potential map of Washington County has been prepared using the DRASTIC mapping process. The DRASTIC system consists of two major elements: the designation of mappable units, termed hydrogeologic settings, and the superposition of a relative rating system for pollution potential. Hydrogeologic settings incorporate hydrogeologic factors that control ground water movement and occurrence including depth to water, net recharge, aquifer media, soil media, topography, impact of the vadose zone media, and hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer. These factors, which form the acronym DRASTIC, are incorporated into a relative ranking scheme that uses a combination of weights and ratings to produce a numerical value called the ground water pollution potential index. Hydrogeologic settings are combined with the pollution potential indexes to create units that can be graphically displayed on a map. Ground water pollution potential analysis in Washington County resulted in a map with symbols and colors, which illustrate areas of varying ground water pollution potential indexes ranging from 56 to 187. Washington County lies within the Nonglaciated Central hydrogeologic setting. The buried valley underlying the present Muskingum River and Ohio River basins contain sand and gravel outwash which are capable of yielding up to 500 gallons per minute (gpm) from properly designed, large diameter wells. Smaller tributaries contain only thin, fine-grained alluvial/lacustrine deposits commonly yielding less than 5 gpm.

  • Kids Hiking (Gnome Hikes)
    Enter to win a RTA Silipint! Take a Photo and post it with #rtafest—DRawings Every week Kids Hiking (Gnome Hikes) Kroger Wetlands (.6 mile or 1 mile with spur) = Beginner Friendly Behind the Marietta Kroger, Gnomes are said to be hiding in a beautiful wetland area. While hunting for these gnomes you’ll see many types of vegetation & possibly some wildlife while never leaving the city. This is a beginner friendly hike and you have the option to complete the main loop which is about .6 miles total or adding the spur trail (out and back) to make it a 1 mile hike. Be sure to bring bug spray to put on yourself and watch for poison ivy on the sides of the trail. Broughtons Orange Trail (3 miles) = Intermediate A beautiful trail in the Broughton Nature & Wildlife area where Gnomes have migrated to over the years. This trail is about 3 miles long and will be more of a challenge than the Kroger Wetlands. You’ll go up and down twisting through the woods as you search for gnomes that have decided these woods are the perfect place to live. This hike is a lollipop where you will start on a small spur, choose to go either right or left and follow the loop back to the small spur which will then take you back to the parking areas. We’d like to thank Sara Rosenstock for building the Gnomes and the campers at the Betsy Mills Club for painting them—they look amazing! Have Fun and Be Safe! Stay on marked trail The Rivers, Trails & Ales Festival has organized these events for your pleasure.

Three hydrogeologic settings were identified in Monroe County with computed ground water pollution potential indexes ranging from 63 to 179. Monroe County lies within the Nonglaciated Central hydrogeologic setting.
