Abstract

Autonomous underwater vehicles are uniquely designed to provide spatially dense water-quality data along with bathymetry and velocimetry. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 requested technical assistance from the U.S. Geological Survey in support of ongoing investigations at the Chemical Recovery Systems site to collect spatially dense water-quality and bathymetry data in the East Branch Black River in Elyria, Ohio. This report was prepared in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to present the results of the autonomous underwater vehicle survey near the Chemical Recovery Systems site on March 22, 2021. Plots of distributions of water temperature, specific conductance, pH, and dissolved oxygen are presented that may help guide and focus future U.S. Environmental Protection Agency efforts at the site to determine the degree of groundwater/surface-water interaction.
