Abstract Details

2011, Master of Environmental Science, Miami University, Environmental Sciences.
The purpose of this report is to demonstrate the duties and accomplishments of my internship with Clermont Soil and Water Conservation District from January 2009 to June 2009. This internship focused on watershed management in the East Fork Little Miami River Watershed, an impaired watershed in the State of Ohio. The history of federal water legislation and the protective measures of the Clean Water Act are summarized. National and state trends in water quality are discussed, as well as impairments caused by non-point source pollution. The role of collaborative, community-based watershed organizations is described. Ohio’s Watershed Coordinator Grant Program is described along with the East Fork Watershed Collaborative’s watershed planning and implementation efforts. The use of Geographic Information Systems and pollution estimation models to develop watershed action plans are described. General education and outreach efforts are also discussed.
