Future Monitoring Needs A complete reevaluation of the Olentangy River study area should be conducted in the year 2003. The reassessment is needed considering the rate of land use and population changes within the watershed and the TMDL report that is pending in 2005. Priority should be placed on revisiting segments which are identified as impaired or threatened in this report.

Additional bioassay testing at the Delaware WWTP is needed to further characterize the toxicity of the effluent and begin the process of identifying the source(s).

STUDY AREA DESCRIPTION

The Olentangy River originates in Crawford County and flows south across Marion, Delaware and Franklin counties to its confluence with the near downtown Columbus. The 1999 study area included
