Delisting Guidance and Restoration Targets for Ohio Areas of Concern

Abstract
- This document provides Ohio EPA and the local advisory committees with statewide targets for restoring beneficial uses and to identify the steps required for Beneficial Use Impairment (BUI) removal and Areas of Concern (AOC) delisting. It also serves to clarify the roles and responsibilities of the Ohio EPA and local advisory committees. When AOCs were originally designated in the late 1980s there were no specific quantitative criteria for listing or delisting these areas. Targets were developed recognizing that delisting an AOC requires restoration to levels equivalent to the current conditions of other Lake Erie watersheds as a whole, not to pristine or pre-settlement conditions. This document is intended to be used by Ohio EPA and the local advisory committees as a reference document to establish targets for each AOC.
