What We Need YOU To Do:

The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency wants you to be our newest environmental specialist in the Division of Surface Water (DSW), working at our field office in Groveport, Ohio.

Interested? Let's dive in

As Ohio EPA's environmental specialist, you'll evaluate complex environmental issues related to nonpoint sources, watersheds, and other influences in aquatic systems. You will utilize indigenous biological organism groups as indicators of Ohio's surface water resource quality, using field sample collection, and laboratory sample analysis. You'll adjust and implement study design changes to optimize data quality and the level of evaluation, utilizing computers to compile complex databases. You'll also identify Ohio's indigenous macrobenthic fauna to the lowest taxonomic level attainable.

Additionally, you'll develop and refine specific applications of watershed level assessments and biological criteria as a part of watershed level assessments while remaining consistent with Ohio Water Quality Standards. You'll evaluate and revise use designations and coordinate plans for water quality assessments of specific environmental issues dealing with complex water pollution problems. You'll coordinate and integrate the products of various workgroups into a holistic framework, making determinations of environmental degradation, habitat quality, and aquatic life use potential.

Through research and evaluation of scientific data and literature, you'll provide technical guidance and assistance to personnel involved in the evaluation of biological and water quality impacts. You'll attend pertinent conferences and workshops, as well as perform maintenance of records and biological collections. Both inside and outside the agency, you'll provide training to other scientists and college interns, directing activities of other staff on a project basis.

Let's break down the basics:
  • Evaluate complex environmental issues related to nonpoint sources, watersheds, and other influences in aquatic systems.
  • Implement study design changes to optimize data quality and the level of evaluation.
  • Develop and refine specific applications of watershed level assessments and biological criteria as a part of watershed level assessments.
