2009 | City of Oregon | Wolf Creek Riparian Corridor | | |
| Approximately 5.5 acres of permanent conservation easement will be acquired for the future reconstruction of Wolf Creek to an overwide or multi-stage design that will capture bacteria and protect the highly used beaches at Maumee Bay State Park. A corridor restoration plan will also be developed to identify next steps for the riparian channel reconstruction. |

2002 | University of Toledo and Bowling Green State University | Dam removal in the Ottawa River, Ohio: A feasibility study needed for comprehensive regional planning. | | |
| A feasibility study will be conducted on removal of a 1920s lowhead dam near RM 11 on the Ottawa River. Upstream and downstream impacts will be evaluated considering flow changes that would result and sediments will be evaluated for possible contamination. A recommendation on dam removal will be offered based on the information gathered. |
2001 | Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments | Investigation of Wolf Creek Bacterial Impact on Maumee Bay State Park Beach | | |
| Historically, high bacteria levels at the state park beach have resulted in advisories and impacted the safety and attractiveness of this public resource. The top layer of sediments in Wolf Creek/ Berger Ditch is suspected to be a bacteria reservoir that is flushed into the park during storms. This study will examine these sediments to determine the sources and longevity of the bacteria. |
2001 | Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority | Sediment Trend Analysis in Maumee Bay Lake Erie | | |
| This non-construction project will help complete a Sediment Trend Analysis for Maumee Bay. The sediment transport mapping will be used for planning the siting and design of new sediment disposal areas; for improved maintenance of the Toledo Harbor shipping channel and other management measures in the Maumee Bay and Ottawa River areas. |
