Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1960s, Cleveland suffered through racial violence, spiking crime rates, and a shrinking tax base, as the city lost jobs and population. Rats infested an expanding and decaying ghetto, Lake Erie appeared to be dying, and dangerous air pollution hung over the city. Such was the urban crisis in the "Mistake on the Lake." When the Cuyahoga River caught fire in the summer of 1969, the city was at its nadir, polluted and impoverished, struggling to set a new course. The burning river became the emblem of all that was wrong with the urban environment in Cleveland and in all of industrial America.Carl Stokes, the first African American mayor of a major U.S. city, had come into office in Cleveland a year earlier with energy and ideas. He surrounded himself with a talented staff, and his administration set new policies to combat pollution, improve housing, provide recreational opportunities, and spark downtown development. In Where the River Burned, David Stradling and Richard Stradling describe Cleveland's nascent transition from polluted industrial city to viable service city during the Stokes administration.The story culminates with the first Earth Day in 1970, when broad citizen engagement marked a new commitment to the creation of a cleaner, more healthful and appealing city. Although concerned primarily with addressing poverty and inequality, Stokes understood that the transition from industrial city to service city required massive investments in the urban landscape. Stokes adopted ecological thinking that emphasized the connectedness of social and environmental problems and the need for regional solutions. He served two terms as mayor, but during his four years in office Cleveland's progress fell well short of his administration’s goals. Although he was acutely aware of the persistent racial and political boundaries that held back his city, Stokes was in many ways ahead of his time in his vision for Cleveland and a more livable urban America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspiration for the Clean Water Act (1972), the Cuyahoga River has been one of the most protected rivers in the country since the 1970s. Water quality is now within acceptable limits outlined by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, shoreline integrity has improved, and sediments mostly test free from toxins and heavy metals. With recovery, various faunal communities, such as freshwater mussels (family Unionidae), are expected to re-establish; no previous surveys of the Cuyahoga focus on this issue. To better understand whether mussel populations recovered as water quality improved within the Cuyahoga Watershed, surveys were completed by two-person teams for one hour each. Sites were selected to compare either with earlier surveys in the 1990s within the Upper Cuyahoga or with possible dam removal sites within the Middle and Lower regions of the River. Site choice depended upon access.Surveys in 2012 were consistent with trends observed in the 1990s in species richness and population size within the upper portions of the Cuyahoga. However, when resurveyed in 2016 at the same sites, both abundance and species richness declined even in generalist species, as live individuals counted declined from 389 to 111. Species richness declined from the original eight species to four found in the 2012 survey. No previous work existed to provide comparison to our 2015 survey of 20 sites. In all, only 37 live individuals, representing three species, were located. One live individual was located within the Lower Cuyahoga in 2016, after teams surveyed 15 sites, representing a significant decline in abundance and diversity as the Cuyahoga flows from Geauga County, Ohio to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and into Lake Erie. The loss of freshwater mussels is a complex problem resulting from the building and release of impoundments, pollution, and flow dynamics, challenging the ability to isolate a single cause. Removal of dams has increased complexity of this problem in the lower portions of the river. As continued decline is expected, further work must be completed to understand how to restore this imperiled fauna.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Current federal and state regulations allow wetlands to be destroyed as long as impacts are mitigated through restoration, creation, enhancement, or preservation of additional wetlands. In this research, we explore how effective these regulations are and if any cumulative changes to wetland and landscape structure are occurring as a result of wetland policy. A watershed-based assessment of wetland impacts and compensatory mitigation was conducted for the Cuyahoga River watershed in northeastern Ohio, USA. Twenty-three Section 401 certifications and Ohio Isolated Wetland permits were evaluated with regards to permit compliance, wetland structure, and landscape context. Although there was a net gain in wetland area as a result of the 23 permits, the Cuyahoga River watershed experienced a net loss of wetlands due to the exportation of mitigation. The majority of projects (67%) that restored or created wetlands independently (not at a mitigation bank) were not successful at meeting permit requirements. The comparison of impacted and mitigation wetland vegetation types revealed an increase in emergent and open water wetland area and a decrease in scrub/shrub and forested wetlands. There was a decrease in the number of wetlands from impacted wetlands (134) to mitigation wetlands (65). Impacted wetlands were also significantly smaller than replacement wetlands (p = 0.027, df = 74, t = 2.26). Landscape composition was variable for the 9 mitigation projects that were evaluated, varying from 17-75% natural land uses and from 18-82% human land uses. Results indicate that an improvement in compliance with permit requirements is necessary. Current wetland policy allows for the exportation of wetlands for mitigation purposes which can result in the loss of wetland function from some hydrologic units. The consideration of wetland structure needs to be incorporated into the regulatory process in order to avoid a shift in wetland types that are present. Instead of reviewing projects on a site-by-site basis, a landscape approach should be taken in order to avoid the loss of upland-wetland heterogeneity and the placement of wetlands in harsh landscapes which could potentially threaten wetland function.
