Research Review: Areal Extent, Hydrogeologic Characteristics, and Possible Origins of the Carbonate Rock Newburg Zone (Middle-Upper Silurian) in Ohio
(1991-12) Strobel, Michael L.; Bugliosi, Edward F.
The name Newburg has been applied to a highly permeable zone, 0.3 to 9 m thick, occurring in a granular or vuggy dolomite. The zone occurs in carbonate rocks of Middle to Late Silurian age across much of Ohio. Known also to well drillers as the Second Water in the Big Lime carbonate sequence, the Newburg zone is a source of hydrocarbons in northeast Ohio, brines in southeast Ohio, and a widespread source of water over much of west-central Ohio. Close to recharge areas, the quality of the water is comparable to that of the overlying carbonate rocks; thus, the Newburg zone warrants further investigation as a source of water for domestic use.

Geography of Hazardous Waste Generation and Management Capacity in Ohio
(1991-12) Clapham, W. B., Jr.
Dealing with hazardous wastes is one of the most important problems facing American society today. The technical and planning dimensions of this problem have been the subject of intense study, as well as legislation and regulations. Coming to grips in a concrete fashion with the problems posed by hazardous wastes will also depend on understanding some of the geographic aspects of their generation and management. This paper considers the locations in Ohio where hazardous wastes are generated, in the context of the Capacity Assurance Program (CAP) instituted under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), and suggests some of the factors that will require consideration in order to use the CAP planning process for substantial improvement of hazardous waste management in Ohio.
Cost-benefit Analysis of the Tiffin River Drainage Improvement
(1991-12) Opdycke, George
A two million dollar drainage improvement was proposed for the Tiffin River in 1983. Its objective was to reduce the amount of flooded land and, thereby, improve farming. The professional engineer's estimate of improvement, cost, and maintenance and additional reliable estimates of increased crop production, depreciation, inflation, and financing were collected. These estimates were analyzed by computer to determine the financial merit of the proposal. Questionable estimates were resolved in favor of the project. A cost-benefit schedule was developed which revealed that a negative financial benefit would be incurred each year and which would accumulate to nearly $6 million in 30 years. The drainage improvement project was rejected in 1988, with the rejection in part attributable to the analysis.
Effects of Phosphorus and Copper on Factors Influencing Nutrient Uptake, Photosynthesis, and Grain Yield of Wheat
(1991-12) Javadi, Morteza; Beuerlein, James E.; Arscott, Trevor G.
Application of large amounts of phosphorus fertilizers is used to enhance early plant growth and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). This practice can lead to an accumulation of phosphorus in soil and a reduced copper uptake by plants which may result in a reduction of plastocyanin concentrations in chloroplasts. As a result, photosynthetic rates and crop yield can be adversely affected. While copper uptake is sometimes enhanced by vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi, large accumulations of soil phosphorus can reduce VAM-enhanced copper uptake.
Effects of Roadside Habitat and Fox Density on a Snow Track Survey for Foxes in Ohio
(1991-12) Stanley, Thomas R., Jr.; Bart, Jonathan
Many methods have been used to survey red fox (Vulpes vulpes) and gray fox (Urocyon dnereoargenteus) populations. However, none has proven entirely satisfactory, and wild foxes remain one of the most difficult economically important wildlife species to monitor. In this study we evaluated the reliability of a snow track survey method for foxes by investigating whether the average number of road crossings per fox is influenced by changes in roadside habitat or changes in fox density. Several snow track surveys were conducted in two Ohio counties during January and February, 1984. Data on roadside habitat, relative fox densities, and fox crossings were collected. Results suggested that changes in roadside habitat could influence the average number of crossings per fox and, therefore, changes in the index could occur independent of actual population changes. We found no evidence that crossings per fox varied with fox density, but further research is needed to substantiate this finding.
