Beneficial Use Support Document Conotton Creek Basin 2016 Beneficial Use Support Document Conotton Creek Basin 2016 Conotton Creek at New Cumberland Road, RM 11.4 Division of Surface Water Ecological Assessment Section May 2021 Ohio EPA:DSW/EAS Conotton Creek Basin Use Support 2016 May 25, 2021 Introduction Ohio EPA conducted a comprehensive biological, habitat and water quality survey of the Conotton Creek watershed in 2016. While some limited sampling has previously been conducted on the Conotton Creek mainstem, most of the existing data date back to the 1980s. Few tributaries within the basin have ever been sampled by Ohio EPA prior to 2016. Most (22) of the 25 streams designated within the Ohio water quality standards are, therefore, not verified based on survey data. In addition, other tributaries within the basin remain undesignated. Figure 1 depicts the 2016 Conotton Creek basin study area and locations where sampling occurred, which included eleven locations arranged along the 43-mile long mainstem. Additional sampling occurred in twenty-five tributaries throughout the Conotton Creek watershed, which drains an area of 286 mi2 in Figure 1. The 2016 Conotton Creek Basin Study Area. Carroll, Harrison and Tuscarawas counties and which lies entirely within the Western Allegheny Plateau ecoregion in eastern Ohio. Conotton Creek is a major tributary of the Tuscarawas into which it discharges at river mile 65.5. Conotton Creek has been previously surveyed by Ohio EPA and it carries a verified warmwater habitat aquatic life use designation in the Ohio WQS that was validated by the 2016 survey once again. Most of the designated waterbodies in the Conotton Creek drainage basin are based on the original 1978 and 1985 state water quality standards. The techniques in use at that time did not include standardized approaches to the collection of in-stream biological data or numeric biocriteria. The 2016 study used biological field data consisting of an assessment of biological communities, a habitat assessment and water quality data to assess current conditions to either verify the existing ALU or recommend a new ALU (Table 2). Results of the biological and habitat assessment for each station sampled in 2016 are presented in Table 3 and the macrohabitat features are found in Table 5. The biological criteria for the WAP ecoregion are summarized in Table 4. Recommendations A total of 12 sites were sampled on the Conotton Creek mainstem from SR 151 (RM 41.6) to near the mouth (RM 0.2). The biological and habitat data collected during the 2016 survey continued to support the current WWH designation. All but one site near the mouth fully attained the WWH biocriteria (Table 1 Ohio EPA:DSW/EAS Conotton Creek Basin Use Support 2016 May 25, 2021 3) with some individual scores reaching into the very good to exceptional range, though not in a consistent fashion. Aside from the Conotton Creek mainstem, twenty-five tributaries were also surveyed for aquatic life use potential in 2016. The biological and habitat data for eleven streams or stream segments supported the verification of the current WWH designation, denoted in Table 2 as (*/+). These include the following streams: Huff Run, Beggar Run, Indian Fork, Elliott Run, Willow Run, Pleasant Valley Run, Cold Spring Run, Gantz Creek, Thompson Run, McGuire Creek and Dining Fork from Kirby Run (RM 1.78) to the mouth. In addition, seven Figure 2. Irish Creek at RM 3.02 previously undesignated streams were documented to support, or have the potential to support the WWH use designation, including unnamed tributaries to Conotton Creek at RMs 7.67, 11.37, 17.22 and 28.20, Honey Run, Friday Creek, and the unnamed tributary to Indian Fork at RM 3.30. Five streams in the upper portion of the watershed that are either undesignated or currently designated WWH support a coldwater habitat (CWH) use recommendation based on the cold water adapted fauna residing within (Table 1). These streams include Bear Hole Run, Long Creek, Lick Fork, Dining Fork (headwaters to Kirby Run (RM 1.78) and Irish Creek (headwaters to Lick Fork (RM 3.09). Bear Hole Run, Kirby Run, Long Creek, North Fork McGuire Creek and McGuire Creek from its headwaters downstream to the unnamed tributary at RM 7.57 are recommended to be designated EWH based on the exceptional biological communities that were documented within these streams (Table 3). The two highest habitat scores within the entire Conotton Creek study area were recorded in North Fork McGuire Creek (Table 5). Table 1.

    Harrison County’s Tappan- Moravian Trail Scenic Byway Harrison County’s Tappan-Moravian Trail Scenic Byway This is a visual tour of beautiful country and historic pictures which depict this important Ohio Byway, one of Ohio’s 25 byways. Red indicates byway’s presence throughout the county’s roads and villages. Tappan-Moravian Trail’s path in the East, North and South sections of Harrison County. The trail was one of the major stagecoach routes in the area until the development of the railroad which bypassed Deersville and the ridge route of the trail. The Trail was also known in history as the Williamson’s Trail since Col. David Williamson led the men who participated in the 1782 Gnadenhutten Massacre as Crawford’s defeated army fled eastward from pursuing Indians. The Union Hotel in Deersville was an important stagecoach stop. It has been renovated, by Tom & Sharkey Bell of Deersville, as the Union Bell Hotel, and is available for guest lodging and group meetings. The Buckeye Trail intersects the scenic byway east of Deersville and travels through Deersville toward Clendening Lake. The Buckeye Trail Barn is accessed from the byway at the Beall Road intersection A few years ago the byway was extended from State Route 250 and intersecting at State Route 646 as it progresses north towards Scio, a famous pottery town known worldwide for Scio Pottery, 1933-1986. From there the trail goes onto State Route 646 to New Rumley, birthplace of General George Armstrong Custer. There is an Ohio Historical Site displaying Custer’s statue, a kiosk of Custer’s life, and the Custer Museum, located in the church beside the birthplace.

  • Ground Water Pollution Potential of Tuscarawas County, Ohio
    GROUND WATER POLLUTION POTENTIAL OF TUSCARAWAS COUNTY, OHIO BY MICHAEL P. ANGLE AND JASON BAKER GROUND WATER POLLUTION POTENTIAL REPORT NO. 52 OHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF WATER WATER RESOURCES SECTION 2001 ABSTRACT A ground water pollution potential map of Tuscarawas 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 Tuscarawas County resulted in a map with symbols and colors, which illustrate areas of varying ground water pollution potential indexes ranging from 53 to 202. Tuscarawas County lies almost entirely within the Nonglaciated Central hydrogeologic setting. The extreme northwestern corner of the county (northwestern Wayne Township) is within the Glaciated Central hydrogeologic setting. The buried valley underlying the present main channel of the Tuscarawas River south of Dover contains sand and gravel outwash, which is capable of yielding up to 500 gallons per minute (gpm) from properly designed, large diameter wells.
