A Belated Attempt at Sediment Control and Watershed Planning in the Mill Creek Watershed
Publication: Engineering Approaches to Ecosystem Restoration
Abstract
Mill Creek, a tributary to the Mahoning River in northeastern Ohio, has suffered severe degradation of aquatic habitat due to nonpoint source pollution from its watershed. In addition, recreational use of Lake Newport, an impoundment on Mill Creek, has virtually ceased due to sediment accumulation. Plans to dredge Lake Newport have met with various regulatory and monetary obstacles over the past 20 years. Now, projects are underway to develop a watershed plan, obtain conservation easements for key riparian areas along Mill Creek, and to control sedimentation and enhance the development of wetlands in Lake Newport.
