Upper Wolf Creek CWMP - Phase II

Northeast Ohio Four County Regional Planning and Development Organization (NEFCO), through an agreement with the City of Barberton, conducted chemical, bacterial and macroinvertebrate (bug) sampling in the Upper Wolf Creek Watershed, a tributary to the Tuscarawas River.  The purpose of this watershed monitoring study is to assess stream health and characterize nutrient and sediment concentrations originating in the watershed.  Data from this study has been and will continue to help identify any critical areas, offer guidance for implementation, and provide a basis for evaluation of counteractive efforts to reduce pollution of streams and lakes. 

Monitoring was conducted April 1998 through March 1999, and the report was approved by NEFCO's General Policy Board in July 1999.
