	Shenango River Lake: LRP, USACE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Beaver River basin is controlled by four Corps of Engineers reservoirs: Berlin, Michael J. Kirwan, Mosquito, and Shenango Lakes.
		These reservoirs reduce flood stages in the Mahoning, Shenango, and Beaver Rivers, and along with nine reservoirs in the Allegheny River basin and three reservoirs in the Monongahela River basin, provide for flood stage reductions along the upper Ohio River.
		While the entire Shenango River basin can be characterized as nutrient rich, and the taste and odor problems are complex, the presently available data suggests that the problems originate in Pymatuning Lake and may be compounded by sewage from Greenville, PA, and the impoundment of the Shenango River by Shenango Dam.
