dc.description.abstract |
The Mill Creek and Yellow Creek watersheds, located in northeast Ohio, cover an
area of approximately 85,000 acres. Available monitoring data indicate that the lakes and
streams within these watersheds have significant water quality and aquatic habitat
problems. With the assistance of a Section 319 mini-grant from the Ohio EPA, A Guide
to Developing Local Watershed Action Plans in Ohio (Ohio EPA, 1997) was pilot-tested
on the two watersheds with two main objectives. First, comprehensive watershed action
plans were written to identify and remediate the water quality problems. Second, the
effectiveness of the OEPA guide was evaluated and useful changes identified.
The process of evaluating the watershed using the EPA model consisted of
researching existing land use, geology, topology, and lithology data as well as gathering
existing water quality data on the watershed. Once the data were collected, they were
analyzed and summarized in order to identify the major problems and their likely sources.
This was done with the help of the AWARE (Alliance for Watershed Action and Riparian
Easements) committee, a group of concerned citizens, environmental professionals and
government representatives. Finally, with the help of the AWARE Goals and Objectives
Committee, the initial goals and objectives for water quality were set. The results of this
procedure were incorporated in Watershed Action Plans for the Mill Creek and Yellow
Creek watersheds. |
