You can access the summary for Ohio here: Testing the Waters, Prevent Beach Pollution - Ohio.
Many of the cities here have combined sewer overflows that dump untreated sewage into the rivers and Lake Erie when stormwaters overflow the sewer systems. They are in the process of correcting most of these issues. But that's where a lot of that comes from.
