Water Resources Water Water Supply Wells and Springs GIS data from the OEPA (2016), ODNR (2016c), MDEQ (2016), and Michigan Department of Technology, Management, & Budget (2016), as well as preliminary field survey results from NEXUS and Texas Eastern, were used to identify public and private water supply wells and springs within 150 feet of construction workspaces (see appendix H-1). NEXUS and Texas Eastern would continue to identify nearby water supply sources through ongoing surveys and landowner communications. NGT Project As indicated in appendix H-1, 156 wells and 3 springs have been identified to date within 150 feet of the NGT Project mainline construction workspace in Ohio. The three springs are likely used for agricultural purposes. There are 43 wells within 150 feet of access roads and another 18 wells are within 150 feet of aboveground facilities, staging areas, or pipe/contractor yards. In Michigan, 21 wells have been identified to date within 150 feet of the NGT Project mainline construction workspace. Additionally, as indicated in appendix H-1, one well is within 150 feet of the Willow Run M&R Station, three wells are within 150 feet of Ware Yard 4-1, and two wells are in the vicinity of access roads. No springs or seeps used for drinking water or agricultural purposes were identified near the NGT Project in Michigan. TEAL Project One private well and three springs have been identified within 150 feet of the TEAL Project construction workspace to date. The springs are likely being used by cattle. Contaminated Groundwater We accessed federal, state, and local government databases to identify facilities with potential and/ or actual existing sources of contamination that may affect groundwater quality near the NGT and TEAL Projects. As discussed in section 4.9.6, numerous sites with known or suspected soil and groundwater contamination were identified within 0.25 mile of the NGT Project. Based on distance, regulatory status, and other information, the majority of these sites are unlikely to impact groundwater quality beneath the NGT Project. In section 4.9.6, we recommend that NEXUS further assess the potential for 11 of the sites to impact groundwater quality beneath the NGT Project and to provide site-specific contamination management plans for those sites determined to pose a risk to groundwater quality beneath the Project. One of these sites recommended for further review is a crude oil spill approximately 50 feet from the NGT Project at MP 37.4., which is in proximity to the WHPA for the Greentree Place 4900 Public Water System (MP 37.4 to 37.6). No known, contaminated sites with the potential to impact groundwater quality were identified within 0.25 mile of the TEAL Project. Groundwater Use Construction of the NGT and TEAL Projects would require approximately 70.1 million gallons of water for hydrostatic testing, HDD installations, and construction of aboveground facilities (see table 4.3.2- 5). As discussed in section 4.3.2.1, approximately 67.0 million gallons (96 percent) of construction-related water would be obtained from surface water sources. The sources of the remaining 3.1 million gallons (4 percent) necessary for construction have not been identified to date, but could include groundwater resources. Operational groundwater requirements at existing or modified aboveground facilities would be minimal as none of the facility operations would require significant water use. Water Resources 4-36 4.3.1.2 Impacts and Mitigation Construction of the NGT and TEAL Projects would occur mostly above the water table; however, where the water table is within trench or grading depth, the elevation and flow characteristics of shallow groundwater resources could be affected by dewatering. Excavation could also increase turbidity within the resource. These impacts would be temporary, minor, and localized to the area near to construction, and would be further reduced by restoring surface contours to pre-construction conditions and implementing the applicants’ E&SCPs, which include measures to avoid or minimize soil erosion in the trench and on the right-of-way, control the discharge of water in nearby uplands, and encourage revegetation after construction. After construction activities are complete, the applicants would restore the ground surface as closely as practicable to original contours and revegetate any previously vegetated, exposed soils to restore pre-construction overland flow patterns as well as groundwater recharge. Therefore, groundwater recharge is not expected to be impacted. Additionally, any impacts to groundwater flow resulting from the trench intersecting the water table would be minor and localized, and would not be expected to discernably impact the groundwater flow regime, or the quantity or quality of groundwater that is used for residential potable water supply. Since residential wells are screened at depths greater than the bottom of the pipeline trench, impacts to well yields are not anticipated even if the trench penetrates below the water table. In areas where backfill materials are more permeable than the substrate, trench breakers would be installed to eliminate preferential flow paths for shallow groundwater within the pipeline trench. As indicated in section 4.3.1.1, a crude oil release near a WHPA at MP 37.4 may have potential for contaminating groundwater near the NGT Project. Although not anticipated, if contaminated soil or groundwater is encountered during construction, the applicable agencies and FERC will be notified, and NEXUS would implement its SPCC Plan to manage and minimize the potential effects on groundwater from any existing contaminated sites and potential spills during construction. Additionally, if contaminated groundwater would occur within the backfilled trench, the trench breakers would mitigate its spread to uncontaminated portions of the surficial aquifer. Construction of the NGT and TEAL Projects could increase turbidity and reduce capacity in nearby water supply wells. The applicants have identified wells within 150 feet of the construction workspaces and would verify well locations through final civil surveys and landowner communication. Blasting would be conducted in accordance with the Projects’ Blasting Plans (see appendices E-1 and E-2) and specific plans designed to avoid damage to nearby structures including wells. The applicants would offer to conduct pre- and post-construction testing of water quality and yield in all wells within 150 feet of the construction workspace, and would repair or replace any wells that are damaged, or otherwise compensate the well owner. The applicants would file a report with the Secretary within 30 days of placing the facilities in service, discussing whether any complaints were received concerning well yield or water quality and how each was resolved. Fueling would be prohibited within 200 feet of a private well and within 400 feet of a public well. We anticipate that any increased turbidity or capacity reduction in wells would be minor and temporary, and conclude that the applicants’ well identification, testing, and mitigation procedures would avoid or adequately address any impacts on wells. An inadvertent release of fuel, lubricants, and other substances could impact groundwater quality. The degree of impact would depend on the type, amount, and duration of material released; the type of soil or geologic material at the land surface; the depth to groundwater; and the characteristics of the underlying aquifer. The potential for a release to impact groundwater is greater in areas of shallow groundwater, such as where the NGT Project would cross the Oak Openings area of western Ohio. To minimize and mitigate impacts, the applicants provided Project-specific SPCC Plans that specify contractor training, the use of environmental inspectors, procedures for the safe storage and use of hazardous materials, and remedial actions that would be taken to address a spill.

    Confidential Yes No TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM Water Quality Water Treatment Facilities and Water Resources Master Plan TO: City of Ann Arbor FROM: CH2M HILL DATE: May 2006 1 Executive Summary The water quality task looked at water quality and monitoring practices in the Huron River and groundwater. The objectives of the water quality task are to: • Make recommendations for dealing with sulfate and 1,4-dioxane in groundwater • Make recommendations for monitoring and improving water quality in Barton Pond and groundwater 1.1 1,4-Dioxane 1,4-Dioxane is a potential human carcinogen and has been found in some Ann Arbor groundwater aquifers in the City of Ann Arbor. One of the aquifers where 1,4-dioxane has been detected contains one of the City’s drinking water supply wells. 1,4-Dioxane has been measured at low levels in the City’s well. Subsequent to detection, this well has been taken out of service. A review of treatment technologies for removal of 1,4-dioxane from water indicated that a combination of ultraviolet (UV) light and hydrogen peroxide may be effective. Removal of 1,4-dioxane at the water plant with existing treatment processes was also reviewed. Based on published literature, it was not anticipated that the existing treatment processes would achieve a high degree of 1,4-dioxane removal. Bench scale tests using Ann Arbor raw water spiked with 1,4-dioxane indicated that only moderate removal (about 40 to 70 percent) could be achieved through all the current water treatment processes. To achieve a high degree of removal (90 to 99 percent), additional processes, such as UV light and hydrogen peroxide, would be needed.

  • View of the New Deal at the National Level
    “THE BEST FORM OF ASSISTANCE ALWAYS IS THE KIND THAT ENABLES FOLKS TO HELP THEMSELVES”: PUBLIC REACTION TO THE NEW DEAL IN HANCOCK, SENECA, AND WOOD COUNTIES OF OHIO Anthony J. Bolton A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2021 Committee: Rebecca Mancuso, Advisor Michael Brooks © 2021 Anthony J. Bolton All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Rebecca Mancuso, Advisor The Great Depression and New Deal had a profound impact on the United States. It led to the need for fundamental changes in the nation, especially regarding the federal government’s role and size. The beginning of the Great Depression marked the end of the “New Era” that the United States had experienced in the 1920s. However, one group of Americans—farmers—did not participate in this “New Era,” including those in three Northwestern Ohio counties: Hancock, Seneca, and Wood. This study analyzes through voting and media analysis how these three counties reacted to the Great Depression and the New Deal from 1929 to 1936. As the Depression continued to worsen, their suffering continued and even worsened, and with Herbert Hoover’s inability to provide relief or a path to recovery, these counties and the rest of the nation turned to Franklin Roosevelt and his promise of a “new deal” to provide that relief. Within these counties, the New Deal was initially seen as successful; however, it was soon seen as having a corrosive effect on traditional American values. Because of this, these counties rejected Roosevelt and the New Deal in 1936, while the rest of the nation overwhelmingly supported him.

  • Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan
    Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan A Comprehensive Listing of the Vessels Built from Schooners to Steamers from 1810 to the Present Written and Compiled by: Matthew J. Weisman and Paula Shorf National Museum of the Great Lakes 1701 Front Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605 Welcome, The Great Lakes are not only the most important natural resource in the world, they represent thousands of years of history. The lakes have dramatically impacted the social, economic and political history of the North American continent. The National Museum of the Great Lakes tells the incredible story of our Great Lakes through over 300 genuine artifacts, a number of powerful audiovisual displays and 40 hands-on interactive exhibits including the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. The tales told here span hundreds of years, from the fur traders in the 1600s to the Underground Railroad operators in the 1800s, the rum runners in the 1900s, to the sailors on the thousand-footers sailing today. The theme of the Great Lakes as a Powerful Force runs through all of these stories and will create a lifelong interest in all who visit from 5 – 95 years old. Toledo and the surrounding area are full of early American History and great places to visit. The Battle of Fallen Timbers, the War of 1812, Fort Meigs and the early shipbuilding cities of Perrysburg and Maumee promise to please those who have an interest in local history. A visit to the world-class Toledo Art Museum, the fine dining along the river, with brew pubs and the world famous Tony Packo’s restaurant, will make for a great visit.
