 Description of the Geology of Lawrence County Pennsylvania
The Shenango river flowing south out of Mercer county, and receiving Neshannock creek from the north-east at Newcastle, meets (2 miles further south) the Mahoning river from the State of Ohio, and becomes the Beaver river.
All the upland east of the Neshannock and east and west of the Beaver river is occupied by the Ferriferous limestone supporting the three Kittanning coal beds; and in Big Beaver and Perry townships the high divides hold also the two Freeport coal beds, and even some of the lowest Barren measures.
The Mahoning sandstone is quite shaly in Lawrence county; but the coarse, massive "Buffalo sandstone" (30`) caps the highest ridges of Perry township with bluffs and gigantic blocks.

Due mostly to the development of the railroad and phenomenal growth of the industries in the Mahoning Valley large areas of the summit of the P and O and its canal property were largely abandoned in 1886.

The river sediment was contaminated from the heavy industrial use of the Mahoning River Valley through the early and mid 20th Century.
Despite this improvement, recent studies of the lower Mahoning River's ecosystem [including the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA's) 1994 Water Quality Study] suggest that the ecology of the Mahoning River will not be restored unless the contaminated sediments are removed, remediated, or capped and some or all of the dams are removed.
Proposed Action: The Mahoning Environmental Dredging Project is designed to restore the ecosystem of the Mahoning River by removing contaminated sediment and low-head dams throughout a 31-mile stretch of the river (from Warren, Ohio to the Ohio-Pennsylvania border).

The Mahoning River begins near Winona in Columbiana County, a few miles southeast of Alliance, and flows through five counties of eastern Ohio (Columbiana, Stark, Portage, Mahoning, Trumbull) and one county in western Pennsylvania (Lawrence)*.
The mainstem (“lower elevation”) of the Mahoning River—northwest of Warren to its confluence with Shenango River at Mahoningtown, Pennsylvania (near New Castle)—was heavily contaminated by household waste until 1965 and the numerous steel mills and manufacturing plants that used the river as an “industrial sewer” for almost 100 years.
The Institute for River Restoration is an interdisciplinary group within the Patrick Center for Environmental Research that seeks to advance the science of restoration ecology and the application of effective watershed restoration practices.

A few years ago, the Mahoning River was one of five national streams designated by the federal government for major clean-up.
More importantly, a clean river will contribute to the region's desirability and thus allow our children and grandchildren, who are leaving the area at an alarming rate, to remain here.

Second, income distribution impacts of river contamination and clean up are examined through stratification of the sample using income and location of the household as a proxy for race.
Traditional BC analysis, in which marginal utility of income is constant across all groups in the society, would in turn underestimate the value of Mahoning River restoration projects to the disadvantaged, and thus render the project(s) less economically appealing to decision makers.

 Vindicator • It's time to reclaim the Mahoning River
The 10 municipalities along the Mahoning River between Warren and the Pennsylvania line don't have the money to invest in something that many residents consider a luxury.
Which means that if the Mahoning River is to be restored, the consortium, along with the Eastgate Regional Council of Governments and local development agencies will have to find other sources of revenue to make up the $35 million local share.
For their part, the 10 communities along the river should write to Gov. Bob Taft and to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources requesting a special allocation from a fund that is used to pay for environmental clean-up of old industrial sites.

Steel mills in the Mahoning Valley were located along the river from Warren to Lowellville, and used water from the river to cool the hot steel and machinery.
Toxins lie in the sediment of the river and in the soil on some of the river banks from Warren to Lowellville, therefore, there is currently a contact ban on this part of the river, meaning no swimming, wading or fishing.

 Raising Local Match to Pay for Cleanup Won't Be Easy, Eastgate Council Tells Mahoning River Steering Committee   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
BOARDMAN, Ohio ­; Because of absence of public support to clean up the Mahoning River, it may be hard to raise the $35 million local match needed to pay for the $100 million project that would run from 2007 until 2017.
Their challenges are how best to restore the quality of the soil and water in the 35-mile stretch of the Mahoning from upstream of Leavittsburg to the state line and how to pay for it.
Only a handful of people live within a mile of the river, Mascarella noted, one factor in the lack of a sense of urgency to clean up the river and its banks.
