Abstract:

The Clean Water Act requires states to monitor the quality of their waters to determine whether they are attaining their designated uses. Waters not attaining their designated use standards are noted as "impaired" and are listed in accordance with Section 303d of the Clean Water Act. Impaired waters are listed based on likely contaminants and are prioritized for Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) development based on the type of impairment and designated use, among other factors. The TMDL process involves intensive sampling and modeling to determine the contaminants of concern, amounts the stream can assimilate and still meet water quality standards, and measures to reduce pollutant loads from point or non-point sources. Because TMDL recommendations may involve major changes to land use, discharges, or stream use/characteristics, the TMDL process involves considerable public participation. Because of the labor-intensive nature of these studies, it may take many years from listing to TMDL development. When water quality improves to the degree that the water body attains its designated use, it can be removed from the Section 303d list.

Purpose:

Listing for TMDL development indicates that the waterbody or watercourse does not support its designated use. The TMDL list parameters usually provide some general information concerning likely sources of impairment. Resource managers can use this information to identify likely problems within the watershed and begin to address them, improving the water quality and habitat of the watercourse or water body long in advance of completion of the TMDL process. Often, TMDL-listed waters are given priority for water quality improvement funding.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

The attribute accuracy of the TIGER/Line® files is as precise as the source used during the creation or update of the Census TIGER® data base. Accuracy statements on the Census TIGER® data base are based on deductive estimates; no specific field tests for attribute accuracy have been conducted on the files. All new attributes entered during the creation process were verified by displaying the line features in both the database and the spatial coverage, but no formal tests were performed.

Section 303(d) reports are submitted to the U.S. EPA in even numbered years with the exception of 2000. The next Ohio Section 303(d) TMDL report will not be required until 2002. This significant lag time between reports results in discrepancies in the status of waters officially listed. Waterway statuses that have changed, whether for better or for worse, will not be reflected until the next report is officially issued. More importantly, since all waterways have not been evaluated, these lists are inherently incomplete.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

These data are believed to be logically consistent, though no tests were performed. Line geometry is believed to be topologically clean.

Completeness_Report:

Tiger hyrdrologic data were obtained from Summit County, so the extent of the data is dependent on its derivation from secondary source material.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Coordinates in the TIGER/Line® files have six implied decimal places. The positional accuracy of these coordinates is not as great as the six decimal places suggest. The positional accuracy varies with the source materials used, but at best meets the established National Map Accuracy standards (approximately + M-Z - 167 feet) where 1:100,000- scale maps from the USGS are the source.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Coordinates in the TIGER/Line® files have six implied decimal places. The positional accuracy of these coordinates is not as great as the six decimal places suggest. The positional accuracy varies with the source materials used, but at best meets the established National Map Accuracy standards (approximately + M-Z - 167 feet) where 1:100,000- scale maps from the USGS are the source.

Process_Description:

Tiger hydrologic data was obtained from Summit County. The data were visually compared with other hard copy map sources for stream name identification. The hydrological data were then re-attributed with Stream Name and TMDL ID obtained from U.S. EPA.

TMDL listed reaches are published in the U.S. EPA Section 303(d) report. The mapped stream locations are derived from the Ohio EPA Division of Surface Water Section 303(d), Year 1998 report and the November 2000 TMDL draft report prepared to document progress being made in the Rocky River Basin.
