Interchange construction resulted in approximately 2,330 linear feet of stream impacts, specifically 1,580 feet to Davis Creek (Modified Warmwater Habitat) and 750 feet to its unnamed tributary (Class II Headwater). Stream channel not filled by the interchange construction foot print was relocated within the interchange infield (see photo below). The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) individual permit authorization (UN Trib Davis Creek-200400265) required compensatory mitigation for stream impacts (Appendix D). On-site stream mitigation was to consist of using natural channel design techniques for relocated segments of Davis Creek (340’) and its unnamed tributary (400’) (Appendix A, Figures 4 and 5). Off-site stream mitigation consisted of placing approximately 900 linear feet of East Branch Little Hocking River (WWH) and 210 linear feet of an “approved” stream location under a conservation easement. In 2006, an unnamed tributary to Goss Fork (Class III) was selected as the “approved” location for the 210 linear feet of conservation easement (Appendix A, Figure 3; Appendix E). In late winter 2010, a landowner previously identified as willing to participate in a conservation easement along 900 feet of the East Branch Little Hocking River indicated she was longer interested. ODOT is currently seeking a contingency plan for the 900 linear feet stream deficit. Corridor D infield showing relocated stream channels Ohio Environmental Protection Agency shortly after construction. (OEPA) permit ODOT ID No. WAS-50-4.40 (PID 23565); Off-Site Stream Mitigation required that ODOT mitigate a minimum of 1110 linear feet stream off-site including 900 linear feet along the East Branch Little Hocking River and 210 linear feet at the Unnamed Tributary to Goss Fork (Appendix D). As indicated above, the 900 linear feet of off-site mitigation along the East Branch Little Hocking River is no longer available. An alternative is being pursued by ODOT. OEPA permit; Performance Criteria required that relocated Davis Creek and its unnamed tributary within the interchange infield obtain Warmwater Habitat and Class II headwater status respectively, based on QHEI and HHEI assessments within five years after project completion. In addition, the riparian zone vegetation along both streams was to be comprised of 80% native Ohio species. Note – The USACE erroneously reported impacts to Davis Creek and the unnamed tributary as 2,220’ on the cover letter and Special Conditions of the individual permit dated December 3, 1 2004. The correct total length of impacts is 2,330’ as reported in ODOT’s Section 401 Water Quality Certification/Section 404 Permit Application and on page 1 of the USACE permit (“You are authorized to place fill material into 1580’ of Davis Creek and 750’ of an unnamed tributary of Davis Creek...”, the sum of which is 2,330’.) In addition, OEPA’s “Modification of Section 401 Water Quality Certification issued July 12, 2004” dated October 28, 2004 was in response to changes in ODOT’s construction plans. Two hundred and ten feet (210) of channel relocation using natural channel design in Davis Creek was abandoned at the interchange culvert outlet in order to avoid arsenic laden sediments. Therefore, relocation of stream channels using natural design was reduced from a total of 950’ to 740’, with 340’ of relocation at Davis Creek and 400’ at its unnamed tributary. As stated previously, the 210 feet of stream impact was offset by the Goss Fork Class III headwater stream conservation easement. In compliance with permit requirements, an onsite meeting for a third year review was conducted between ODOT, USACE and the OEPA on October 26, 2010. Based on QHEI and other observations at that time, it was determined that relocated Davis Creek (340’) was not likely to meet Warmwater Habitat status by year five and that a contingency plan was needed. Based on the HHEI, the unnamed tributary appeared to be meeting Class II headwater status. Riparian vegetation appeared to be dominated by native Ohio species. This report is the fourth in a series of yearly monitoring reports that chart the development of the Davis Creek channel relocations. It will be the second comprehensive report that includes the status of conservation easements on private properties as proposed. Methods The fourth year monitoring of Davis Creek was conducted by Matt Raymond, Emily Miller and Mike Austin on July 12, 2011. QHEI and HHEI scores were recorded for Davis Creek and the unnamed tributary to Davis Creek. Methods were carried out in accordance with the Field Evaluation Manual for Ohio’s Primary Headwater Streams (OEPA, 2002) and Methods for Assessing Habitat in Flowing Waters: Using the Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index (QHEI) (OEPA, 2006). Photographs were taken from the center of the QHEI or HHEI sample reach and are shown on the stream drawings with corresponding photograph numbers. Water quality parameters were collected from both streams using calibrated field meters and included dissolved oxygen, oxygen percent saturation, temperature, pH, conductivity and total dissolved solids. Data and photographs documenting riparian vegetation and hydrology were also collected. Vegetation was identified with standard references such as Wieshaupt (1971), Braun (1961, 1967) and Gleason and Cronquist (1999). ODOT survey files and courthouse records were consulted to determine the status of conservation easements on private properties. 2 Fourth Year Monitoring Results QHEI and HHEI Based on QHEI data collected July 2011, the relocated segment of Davis Creek scored 47.5, ranging between modified Warmwater Habitat (< 45) and Warmwater Habitat (> 60) status. The score represents a continued and gradual improvement over time from very poor (2008) to fair (2011). An increase in the QHEI score compared to previous years is likely a result of the establishment of riparian vegetation and other recovery processes related to sediment transport and equilibrium (Table 1) (Appendix C). Siltation and bank erosion continue to be a problem and undoubtedly result from the instability of the red clay soils (Upshur-Vandalia association) on Relocated Davis Creek as it appeared during the which the project and the stream channels fourth year (2011) of data collection. were constructed (NRCS, 1977). The relocated reach of Davis Creek is showing improvement and while it will likely not attain a QHEI score greater than 60 by 2012, it may likely approach the pre-construction QHEI score of 53. HHEI data for the unnamed tributary of Davis Creek resulted in a score of 52 and continues to meet the minimum requirement of a Class II headwater. During July 2011 the unnamed tributary was flowing but largely obscured by a thick stand of willows. Stream banks appeared to be stabilized. Some red clay silts were noted on the stream bottom (Table 1) (Appendix C). Water Quality and Hydrology Water chemistry parameters examined during year 4 (2011) were within tolerable limits for aquatic organisms and generally unremarkable as in previous years (Table 2). Despite flowing water in both relocated channels and an Relocated unnamed tributary to Davis Creek as it elevated QHEI score in Davis Creek, no fish were appeared during the fourth year (2011). found. Davis Creek has a history of “drying up” during late summer not only within the interchange infield but outside of the project area as well. Drying obviously limits

  • 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.

    A HISTORY OF BELPRE Washington County, Ohio -By- C. E. DICKINSON, D. D. Formerly Pastor of Congregational Church Author of the History of the First Congregational Church Marietta, Ohio PUBUIBHID FOR THB AUTHOR BY GLOBE PRINTING & BINDING COMPANY PARKRRSBURG. WEST VIRGINIA Copyrighted in 1920 by C. E. DICKINSON DEDICATED To the Belpre Historical Society with the hope that it will increase its efficiency and keep alive the interest of the people in the prosperity of their own community. FOREWORD The history of a township bears a similar relation to the history of a nation that the biography of an indi­ vidual bears to the record of human affairs. Occasionally an individual accomplishes a work which becomes an essential and abiding influence in the history of the world. Such persons however are rare, although a considerable number represent events which are important in the minds of relatives and friends. The story of only a few townships represents great historic events, but ac­ counts of the transactions in many localities are of im­ portance to the present and future residents of the place. Belpre township is only a small spot on the map of Ohio and a smaller speck on the map of the United* States. Neither is this locality celebrated for the transaction of many events of world-wide importance; at the same time the early history of Belpre exerted an influence on the well being of the State which makes an interesting stqpy for the descendants of the pioneers and other residents of the township. Within a very few months of the arrival of the first settlers at Mariettapfchey began to look for the most favorable places to locate jtheir homes.

  • C Onsiderations for Future Lists
    Section Ohio 2014 Integrated Report I Considerations for Future Lists Future Considerations for As new ideas are introduced and in the general course of progress, it is natural for evaluation and reporting of water quality conditions to evolve. Since the introduction of the integrated report format in 2002, methods for evaluating the recreation use, the human health use (via fish contaminants), and public drinking water supply use have been systematically added to the traditional aquatic life use reporting. This section identifies future reporting possibilities and the status of each. The potential future changes include reporting on more types of waters (wetlands, inland lakes) or reporting on specific pollutants of interest (mercury). Information on the State’s response to the emerging issue of harmful algae blooms is also included. For the first time, the 2014 IR includes an expanded reporting section for Lake Erie. I1. Wetlands Tables and figures cited in this section are contained in the I1 Wetlands Supplement. Ohio EPA’s Integrated Report provides information on the overall condition of Ohio's water resources and also identifies those waters that are not currently meeting water quality goals (Ohio EPA, 2012). It fulfills the requirements under the Clean Water Act to report biennially on the current condition of Ohio’s regulated waters (305(b) report), and to provide a list of impaired waters (303 (d) list). Despite wetlands being regulated as “Waters of the State,” until now, Ohio has not developed a strategy for including information on the condition of the state’s wetland resources as part of the integrated reporting process.

  • Gazetteer of Ohio Streams (WIR 29) Is a Report Produced from the Gazetteer of Ohio Streams Database
    OHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF WATER Bob Taft, Governor Samuel W. Speck, Director James R. Morris, Chief GGAAZZEETTTTEEEERR OOFF OOHHIIOO SSTTRREEAAMMSS Second Edition August 2001 WATER INVENTORY REPORT 29 First Edition published in 1954, reprinted in 1960 Compiled by J. C. Krolczyk Second Edition published in 2001 Edited by Valerie Childress PREFACE This second edition of the Gazetteer of Ohio Streams (WIR 29) is a report produced from the Gazetteer of Ohio Streams database. Data in the first edition (WIR 12) was transcribed from the hard copy into database format, and the updated drainage area data for entire streams reported in Drainage Areas of Ohio Streams (WIR 12A) was substituted for the drainage area data from the original report. In Part One of the second edition, streams are listed geographically beginning with those in the Lake Erie Basin at Ohio’s western boundary and moving eastward, and then proceeding with those in the Ohio River Basin at Ohio’s western boundary and moving eastward. Streams that flow directly into Lake Erie and the Ohio River are denoted in bold letters. Stream Codes have been developed for this database to define streams by their geographic and hydrologic locations. The Stream Codes listed have been developed expressly for this database and are not, as yet, relevant to any other database, publication, or agency. Unlike the first edition, the major river basins have not been pulled out of their geographic and hydrologic locations and listed alphabetically. This may present problems to users trying to find a stream they know to be in a particular river basin.
