  • Areawide Wastewater Treatment Management Plan
    Chapter 2 Water Quality Conditions in Mahoning and Trumbull Counties Water can indicate the health of a watershed’s ecosystem by studying and identifying the organisms found within it and it can summarize the land use activities within a watershed when analyzed for contaminants and their sources. This chapter highlights current water quality conditions of the water courses in the watersheds of Mahoning and Trumbull Counties. Information presented in this chapter was drawn from official water quality reports, community plans, and watershed action plans. 2.1 Clean Water Act Applications and Reporting The Clean Water Act (CWA) contains a comprehensive reporting program protecting the Nation’s valuable water resources. Sections 305 (b) and 303 (d) of the CWA, required states to create summaries of surface water conditions (305(b) reports) and develop a list of water bodies not meeting state water quality standards (303(d) list). The 305(b) report was to be a routine check on improvements states were making towards the CWA’s goals. To address impaired waters listed in the 303(d) document, the state creates measures to improve conditions via the development of total maximum daily loads (TMDLs), water quality specific permitting, and nonpoint source pollution control measures. Under Federal guidance, the Ohio EPA developed a watershed based method of reporting, “Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report” (Integrated Report). This new reporting method, combines the 305 (b) water quality reports with the 303 (d) list of impaired waters, satisfying CWA reporting requirements for both Section 303 (b) and Section 303 (d). Beginning in 2002, the Integrated Report summarizes the water quality conditions using a watershed’s 12-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC).

  • Mahoning River, Ohio Environmental Dredging Draft Feasibility Study and Environmental Impact Statement
    Pittsburgh District AUGUST 2005 Mahoning River, Ohio Environmental Dredging Draft Feasibility Study and Environmental Impact Statement Trumbull and Mahoning Counties APPENDIX N U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SECTION 2(b) REPORT Draft Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act Report for the Mahoning River, Ohio Environmental Dredging Project Prepared by: Bill Kurey Division of Ecological Services Reynoldsburg, Ohio U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 Twin Cities, Minnesota February 2005 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Mahoning River drains 1,133 square miles in northeastern Ohio and northwestern Pennsylvania. The Mahoning varies from 50 feet to about 300 feet in width and is approximately 108 miles long with a slope of approximately 4.4 feet per mile. About 12 miles of the Mahoning River flow through Pennsylvania before joining the Shenango River to form the Beaver River which flows to the Ohio River. Five major reservoirs (Milton, 1917; Meander Creek, 1931; Berlin, 1943; Mosquito Creek, 1944; and Michael J. Kirwan, 1966) have been constructed in the upper watershed. There are also numerous lowhead dams on the river. Nine of these dams are within the study area for the Mahoning River Environmental Dredging Project. The Mahoning River in Ohio was once dominated by heavy industry, especially steel mills and associated industry, and railroads. Vestiges of these industries remain, especially WCI Steel in Warren, Ohio. Even within this intensely industrial corridor, the river has maintained a well defined woody riparian corridor for much of its length. Over the years, sediments in the river, particularly those upstream of the lowhead dams, have become contaminated with a variety of chemicals.
