③ What it reveals
Ohio EPA sizes every discharge against the stream's design low flow — and the Ottawa this project discharges into runs at just 0.2 cfs, dropping to zero in the driest weeks. The tributaries are worse: American II's own fact sheet states a dilution of barely 1.3 to 1. The receiving water is near-undiluted before this project adds a drop.
