Office of Coastal Management
• Focus on Protection, Management, and Enhancement (Functional Restoration) of Coastal Resources
• Nonpoint Pollution, Nutrient and Sediment loadings• Technical Assistance and Guidance (Shore Structures)• Streamlined Regulatory Processes (Permitting)• Public Access• Grant Programs (CELCP and State Pass Through)• Collaborative Programs with Core Partners
– Ohio Sea Grant (Ohio State University)– Old Woman Creek NERR– Ohio Lake Erie Commission– NOAA (CSC, GLERL)

Lake Erie Challenges• Changing water levels
over a range of scales– Long-term– Seasonal– Short-term
• Climate change impacts– Water levels– Storm frequency and
magnitude– Temperature– Timing
• Impacts of water level regulation
• Harmful Algal Blooms• Loadings and water
quality degradation• Habitat loss and
degradation• Invasive species• Land-use change and
shoreline development• Erosion and irreversible
lakebed downcutting• Sand management• Public access

Current Priorities
• Nutrient and sediment loading into the State’s waterways (nonpoint pollution)– Harmful algal blooms (HABs)– Clean Lakes Initiative (ODNR, OEPA, ODA)– “4R” program (source, rate, time, place)– Healthy Lake Erie Fund ($10 million)– Minimize open-lake disposal of dredge material
(promote beneficial use of dredge material)– Restoration of natural flow regimes (control drainage
devices)• Habitat Loss and Degradation

OCMP Products and Services
• Lake Erie Shore Erosion Management Plan– Coastal reaches identified by shoreline
characteristics and erodibility. – Provides information to coastal property
owners and guidance as to appropriate methods of erosion control by coastal reach.
• Lake Erie Shoreline and Tributary Access Guides– 324-page guidebook highlighting 164 publicly
accessible locations along Ohio’s 312-mile shore
– Online companion guidebook also available via OCM website

Technical Assistance – Site Visits
• Coastal Erosion• Shore Protection• Sand Resource Management• Drainage/Groundwater Issues• Coastal Resiliency
– Green Infrastructure– Coastal and Nearshore Habitat
Enhancement– Adaptation Planning– Storm Recovery/Planning– Partnership with State and Local EMAs
www.ohiodnr.com/coastal
Discussion Topics• Great Lakes Water Levels
– Climate Variability and Adaptation– Coastal Resiliency
• Nutrient and sediment loading into the State’s waterways (nonpoint pollution)– Harmful algal blooms (HABs)– Healthy Lake Erie Fund ($10 million)– Minimize open-lake disposal of dredge material (promote
beneficial use of dredge material)
• Ohio Clean Marinas Program

Management of Dredge Material
• Port of Toledo– 800,000 cubic yards/year currently placed in
the open lake– Resuspension and P loading concerns
• Port of Cleveland– 250,000 cubic yards/year currently placed in
confined disposal facilities (CDF)– CDF capacity issue. USACE promoting open
lake disposal – are sediments clean enough?

Beneficial Use – Sediment RemediationMaumee River
CDF 3
CDF 18
Beneficial Use – Alternative PlacementMaumee River
Beneficial Use – Bedload InterceptionCuyahoga River
• Bedload interception technology– Remove up to 45,000 cy/year clean sand
before enters shipping channel– Beach nourishment, beneficial public uses– Offset costs
• Sediment processing/remediation CDF 10B– Restore capacity– Offset costs
• Habitat creation/rehabilitation
Bedload Interception
• Proposed location adjacent to existing sand/gravel operation
• Passive collection system
• Minimize fish impacts and WQ degradation

• Began in 2004• 44 Ohio Clean Marinas
– 71 BMPs/marina
• 33 Pledged Marinas• >1,500 Clean Boaters• Shrink Wrap Recycling
• >100 marinas participate• Average annual savings: $700 /
marina• Over 2.2 million lbs recycled since
2006• Enough guard rail blocks to protect
over 350 miles of highway
