Hundreds of homes and businesses in the Tri-State are flooded. In Indiana, unprotected areas from near Route 56 to the river are inundated including Aurora. In Kentucky, widespread inundation occurs in unprotected areas between Route 8 and the river. Downstream of Cincinnati, most property between Route 50 and the river is flooded. Inundation of unprotected property in Ohio extends from Cincinnati upsteam along and south of Route 52. Widespread flooding between Fort Washington Way and the river occurs. This is just above the FEMA 1 percent flood.

Backwater flooding affects low areas along the Little Miami, Licking and Great Miami Rivers. From Cincinnati to New Richmond, many areas along Route 52 are flooded. Ludlow and Bromley, Kentucky incur major flooding, as well as Lawrenceburg and Aurora, Indiana. Street flooding occurs along Pete Rose and Mehring Way, as well as Eastern Avenue and River Road. Major flooding continues within the flood plain, especially in portions of California and the East End. Route 52 is flooded in low areas from Cincinnati to Portsmouth, Ohio. Street flooding worsens along the river in Cincinnati, with the flood waters reaching Third and Culvert Streets. Hundreds of homes and businesses are flooded as are many low-lying roads near the river. Major flooding continues within the flood plain along the Ohio River, especially in portions of California, New Richmond, and the East End of Cincinnati in Ohio, Ludlow and Bromley in Kentucky, and Lawrenceburg and Aurora in Indiana. Significant backwater flooding also occurs along the Little Miami, Great Miami and Licking Rivers. Hundreds of homes and businesses are flooded. Major flooding occurs along the river in Hamilton and Clermont Counties in Ohio, as well as Boone, Kenton and Campbell Counties in Kentucky. Backwater flooding along the Little Miami, Great Miami and Licking Rivers also results in major damage. The City of Cincinnati becomes flooded at low areas near the river, with many Ohio River communities flooded. Widespread property damage occurs, with devastating backwater flooding also occurring along Ohio River tributaries. This flood will exceed the highest stage on record.

It was within this context that a group of approximately 50 representatives from state and federal agencies, NGOs and universities within the Ohio River Basin initially coalesced into the candidate Ohio River Basin Fish Habitat Partnership. However, fish and mussel habitat within the Ohio River Basin is imperiled by a number of historic impacts and continuing threats including mineral extraction, row crop agriculture, and livestock grazing.

A number of the rivers in the Ohio River Basin also support outstanding smallmouth or spotted bass angling. These figures approach half of the freshwater fishes and over a third of all mussel species found in the United States. The Ohio River drainage contains at least 350 species of fish ranging from endemic darters and dace in the headwaters to a suite of great river fish (e.g., paddlefish, blue sucker, lake sturgeon, and shovelnose sturgeon) and more than 120 mussel species, including a number that are federally listed. A decision was made to exclude the Tennessee-Cumberland sub-basin to limit overlap with SARP. as measured by annual discharge) and 143,550 square miles of the watershed. The partnership encompasses the entire 981 miles of the Ohio River mainstem (the second largest river in the U.S. Whether it is sport fish, mussels, imperiled fish, water quality, or one of many other drivers, what bonds us is the Basin and our desire to work together to protect, restore, and enhance her aquatic resources.

We pursue this mission for the benefit of the public, but what brings us to the table is as diverse as the basin itself. The Ohio River Basin Fish Habitat Partnership was formed to protect, restore, and enhance priority habitat for fish and mussels in the watersheds of the Ohio River Basin.
