Abstract Details

2016, Master of Environmental Science, Miami University, Environmental Sciences.
During the summer of 2015 I had the opportunity to intern at the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. I worked in the Central District Office in the Division of Surface Water in Columbus, Ohio. My responsibilities were focused around water quality monitoring of various lakes and streams within the state. Lakes sampled included Buckeye Lake, Grand Lake St. Marys, other lakes within the Ohio State Parks system, and drinking water reservoirs. Streams were sampled for varying projects including ambient water quality sampling. The other part of my internship dealt with storm water inspections at construction sites within the Central EPA District. Inspections determined compliance with the general construction permit. This meant assessing sediment and erosion controls and how these controls were implemented for each site. The various types of water quality monitoring will be used to address pressing water quality issues such as nutrient loading and harmful algal blooms, wastewater discharge, and sediment pollution.
