Our office is equipped with skilled staff and technological resources that can assist with natural resource evaluations. These evaluations are helpful for identfiying problem areas and prioritizing conservation activities in a watershed or other site. Evaluations may include:
- GIS mapping
- Identification and prioritization of specific problem areas
- Suggestions for improvement of impaired sites
- Community outreach and education
In 2016, Franklin Soil and Water staff assisted the City of Gahanna with an evaluation of the Sycamore Run watershed. We produced the map below to show where and how the stream was negatively impacted, and to spotlight critical areas of degradation that, if addressed, could greatly improve water quality.
