Summary

The Sandusky River watershed, located in northwest Ohio, has been influenced by agriculture since the late 1800s. Restoration efforts on degraded tributaries and reaches in the Sandusky River watershed are based on a study released in 2003 by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) which identified various tributaries and reaches as failing to meet biological water quality standards mainly due to siltation. However, prior to the implementation of restoration strategies it is important to consider past conditions of stream reaches to assess effectiveness of past best management practices (BMP). Channel cutoffs represent unique archives of substrates that existed prior to full BMP implementation in an area. In this study, a channel [...]
