Book excerpt: The aquatic ecosystem of Mill Creek Watershed (MCW) is currently susceptible to pollution from nutrients and heavy metals due to the various human activities within the watershed. Sediment quality parameters such as trace metals, organic matter (OM%), pH, total phosphorus (TP) and particle sizes were measured at 13 sampling points along Mill Creek. The overall objective of the research was to determine the immediate land use around each of the 13 sampling sites and how that impacts the sediment quality. Each of these sampling points were used as watershed outlets to delineate 13 distinctive drainage areas, with their individual land uses. The results showed most of the parameters measured were within acceptable values. TP values within the southern watershed were higher than all other sites (MacDonalds et.al, 2005). These observations were explained by the land use of the delineated drainage areas around each of these sites. Site 9 had about 30% of its drainage area covered by agricultural land row crops, site 10 had 20% and site 8 had 14%. Agricultural runoffs may have played a role in the TP concentration. A more direct impact may be the location of the Boardman Waste Water Treatment Plant at site 8, the semi buffered cattle ranch located by the creek at site 9 and the crop farm located at site 10. Geospatial statistical maps created showed the northern portions especially site 2A and 4 as well as some middle areas of the watershed which include mostly site 8, 9 and 10, to have higher levels of most of the trace metals compared to the sediment reference values. The calculated correlations among percentages of land use, trace metals, TP, pH & OM%, showed Ba to be statistically significant to agricultural land use. TP was also positively correlated with agricultural land use but not statistically significant. pH was significantly correlated residential areas. The other trace metals were not statistically significant with any land use which may be because of the dominant sandy particle sizes and flow dynamics of the river. The predominant residential land use and CSOs locations were perhaps the contributing sources. Ongoing studies would benefit from analyzing samples in both dry and wet seasons, and after precipitation events. Researchers may have to Incorporate sediment texture properties when sampling. Researchers may also combine Soil and Water Assessment Tools (SWAT) with sediment geochemistry to model trace metals and TP loadings if Mill Creek watershed establishes a gauge station on its main-stem.These will augment the understanding of the relationship between human activities, sediment and water quality and the importance to ecological health.

This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Evaluation of Land Use, Hydrology, and Sediment Yield in the Mill Creek Watershed, Northern California This report summarizes studies conducted in the Mill Creek watershed by the National Park Service and usgs. The scope of the report is limited to the presentation of (1) physical data, including streamflow characteristics, flood frequency analysis, sediment discharge and size distribution, cross-section surveys, sediment storage features, and distribution of erosional landforms; (2) descriptive data from aerial photographic interpretation, current geological studies and soil-vegetation indices; (3) a brief comparison with physical processes active elsewhere in the park; and (4) management recommendations for future action in the watershed.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mill Creek Watershed (MCW) is located in Mahoning and Columbiana Counties, Ohio. It is a 47,000 acre sub-watershed of the Mahoning River watershed. The main surface stream is Mill Creek which starts in Fairfield Township, Columbiana County and continues until it reaches the Mahoning River just west of downtown Youngstown. Mill Creek runs through Mahoning County's largest metropolitan park, Mill Creek MetroPark (MCMP). Mill Creek is approximately 39 kilometers long with a mixture of land use types ranging from heavily industrialized and residential to agriculture and mixed forests. The impact of land use practices and aging infrastructure in the Mill Creek Watershed have resulted in various water quality concerns related to human and ecological health. Local water quality issues include bacteria (and other pathogens) from animal waste, combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and failing septic systems; nutrients from urban and agricultural land uses; and sediment loading from erosion and construction. Project objectives are to establish a monitoring program for this watershed. Initial evaluation of MCW monitoring sites, based on specific watershed land uses and inputs (point and non-point) was identified. Twelve sites of concern were selected for water chemical, biological and physical analysis. To establish a control, baseline samples (low flow) were taken during dry periods of rainfall. To assess the effects of land uses in the watershed water samples were collected 24-48 hours after a significant rainfall (>1.9 cm). SPSS analyses were performed using Spearman correlation and ANOVA on SPSS. Soluble reactive phosphate was most prevalent upstream where land use was predominately agricultural. Total and fecal coliforms counts were greatest during the October 21 storm event. During that event, coliform counts were highest, specifically, upstream where agricultural land use dominated and in the Mahoning River where there is larger industrial and residential land use. Precipitation events did not appear to have an influence on any parameters other than total and fecal coliforms. Metals found within the watershed included calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium, phosphorus, and sulfur. Results of the monitoring program will educate the public on water quality issues and the influence of watershed activity on water quality. Importantly, it will also provide data to Mill Creek MetroParks and the Mahoning County District Board of Health to improve its management of waters coming into and leaving the park.
