1 Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Watercraft Scenic Rivers Program
2 Ohio s Scenic Rivers First program in the nation, started in designated streams totaling 800 miles Scenic River Watersheds drain about 13,611 square miles
3 What is a Scenic River? Director may propose for designation watercourse with adjacent lands possessing water conservation, scenic, fish, wildlife, historic or outdoor recreation values that should be preserved using classifications..
4 Kokosing State Scenic River
5 Outstanding Water Quality
6 High Biological Diversity Northern Cardinal Spotted Darter (Endangered) Dobsonfly Larvae (Hellgramite)
7 Limited Human Intrusions
8 Valuable Recreational Resources
9 Hellbender State Endangered Found in only seven Ohio streams Kokosing River and the Little Beaver Creek have largest populations
10 Ohio s Scenic Rivers DESIGNATIONS Wild Scenic Recreational RIVERS Ashtabula River Big & Little Darby Creeks Chagrin River Conneaut Creek Grand River Kokosing River Little Beaver Creek Little Miami River Maumee River Mohican River Olentangy River Sandusky River Stillwater River Upper Cuyahoga
11 Program Priorities Protect riparian buffer and stream habitat Technical assistance on development issues Stream Quality Monitoring Project Land acquisition - ORC Dam Removal Implement Scenic River Law ORC Watershed Planning
12 Ohio Scenic River Law Approval of publicly funded projects within 1,000 foot corridor such as: Bridge projects Roads paralleling rivers Culvert replacements Waterlines/Sewerlines Park development - trails Bank stabilization
13 Benefits of Dam Removal Safety Hazard drowning hydraulics
14 Benefits of Dam Removal Ecological Negatively impact biological community Riverine to lacustrine loss of riffle, pool run complex Lower species diversity, tolerant spp. predominant Lower water quality, D.O. Impede natural movement of bed load
15 Benefits of Dam Removal Ecological Excessive sedimentation - substrate embeddedness
16 Macroinvertebrates Live in interstitial spaces critical level in food chain Unionid Mollusks Sediment on gill surface causes decreased food filtering efficiency and asphyxiation
17 Simple Lithophils - need a hard, clean, rocky substrate to lay eggs on - provide no parental care Shorthead Redhorse Moxostoma macrolepidotum Benthic Insectivores - need a hard, clean, rocky substrate feed on macroinvertebrates Hog Sucker Hypentelium nigricans
18 Dam Removal Sandusky State Scenic River St. Johns Dam Constructed 1935 by Ohio-American Water Company Backup water supply for the city of Tiffin Inspection in 1999 by ONDR, Division of Water determined the dam was unsafe 150 feet long, 7 feet high Impounded 8.5 miles of Sandusky River

22 Dam Removal St. Johns Dam Research Monitoring sites above and below dam Monitoring at Ohio Environmental Protection Agency reference sites Detailed mapping was completed by the ODNR Division of Geological Survey 9/22/03 to 11/4/03 Post dam removal mapping was performed in 7/26-27/04, 10/25/04, and 10/27-28/04
23 Macroinvertebrates Utilized Hester-Dendy samplers per OEPA protocol Monitoring 7 sites, some samplers lost in high water first year
