    Appendix E Response to Comments WW-16J Re: Response to Public Comments - Comment Period ending March 27, 2004 Wabash River Watershed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), Ohio Dear Sir/Madam: Thank you for your recent comments regarding the Draft Wabash River Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) document dated February 2004. The U.S. EPA has responded to your comments below. We first address the comments related to designated use and then address all remaining comments. In 1999, Ohio EPA completed a thorough examination of habitat and biological and chemical conditions in the Wabash River watershed. Ohio EPA found that Wabash River watershed’s Warmwater Habitat use designation was still appropriate. Consequently, we used the nutrient and sediment targets associated with the Warmwater Habitat use designation in this TMDL.1 Comments from: Ohio Department of Agriculture Comment: Page 23, the first sentence is a repeat of the last sentence at the bottom of page 22. Response: This typo does not exist in the PDF version of the report that was made available on U. S. EPA’s Web page. Comment: Page 23, the footnote "plans" should be "plants" Response: Comment addressed. 1The State expects to propose Water Quality Standards (WQS) rules changes based on the 1999 work study later this year. Their rule-making process includes an opportunity for public comment. The use designations and the 1999 study results for the areas upstream of the state line provide useful information that should be taken into consideration when recommending implementation strategies to restore the watershed. 2 Comment: Page 25, the footnote at the bottom of table 7-1 should be "from " instead of "form" Response: Comment addressed.

Inhabitants or users of the area included Native Americans such as the Wea, other Miami groups, the Potawatomi, and Euroamericans such as French traders. By the late 1700s, the mixed French-Indian town of Kethtippecanunk (site 12 T S9) was flourishing there, and consisted of a large number of substantial structures and a predominantly Euroamerican settlement style, until destroyed by militia in 1791. Analysis of past surface artifact collections from the site (1984- present), and controlled archaeological and magnetometer reconnaissance by IU-Indianapolis in 1987, reveal an occupation quite different from the downstream sites of the Wea Village (12 T 6), Fort Ouiatenon (12 T 9), and the "Kickapoo Mascouten" area north of the fort. Given its cultural "mix" and utilitarian emphasis upon trading, artifacts from Kethtippecanunk were expected to reflect a predominantly Euroamerican pattern, especially in terms of architectural, construction, hardware, and kitchen items. Comparison of 12 T 59 to the other 18th-century sites in the region should help reveal differential patterns of acculturation and historic development for the various early historic cultures in Tippecanoe County.

  • LENAPE VILLAGES of DELAWARE COUNTY By: Chris Flook

    LENAPE VILLAGES of DELAWARE COUNTY By: Chris Flook

    LENAPE VILLAGES OF DELAWARE COUNTY By: Chris Flook After the signing of the Treaty of Greenville in 1795, many bands of Lenape (Delaware) Native Americans found themselves without a place to live. During the previous 200 years, the Lenape had been pushed west from their ancestral homelands in what we now call the Hudson and Delaware river valleys ­ first into the Pennsylvania Colony in the mid­1700s and then into the Ohio Country around the time of the American Revolution. After the Revolution, many Natives living in what the new American government quickly carved out to be the Northwest Territory, were alarmed of the growing encroachment from white settlers. In response, numerous Native groups across the territory formed the pan­tribal Western Confederacy in an attempt to block white settlement and to retain Native territory. The Western Confederacy consisted of warriors from approximately forty different tribes, although in many cases, an entire tribe wasn’t involved, demonstrating the complexity and decentralized nature of Native American political alliances at this time. Several war chiefs led the Western Confederacy’s military efforts including the Miami chief Mihšihkinaahkwa (Little Turtle), the Shawnee chief Weyapiersenwah (Blue Jacket), the Ottawa chief Egushawa, and the Lenape chief Buckongahelas. The Western Confederacy delivered a series of stunning victories over American forces in 1790 and 1791 including the defeat of Colonel Hardin’s forces at the Battle of Heller’s Corner on October 19, 1790; Hartshorn’s Defeat on the following day; and the Battle of Pumpkin Fields on October 21. On November 4 1791, the forces of the territorial governor General Arthur St.
