Raven Rock Dam Removal, Maryland
-
This project will remove the Raven Rock Dam in Maryland to restore brook trout access to nearly 1 mile of habitat in Raven Rock Creek. Removal of the dam will provide ecological benefits by restoring the connectivity and improving the quality of aquatic resources in Raven Rock Creek. The project will also provide economic benefits by increasing valuable recreational fishing opportunities.

Whitethorn Creek Restoration, West Virginia
-
Whitethorn Creek, which is the most significant tributary in the Thorn Creek drainage of
the South Branch of the Potomac, is historically recognized as supporting one of the
best brook trout populations in West Virginia. This population has been significantly
reduced in recent years as a result of land use impacts and two devastating flood
events. The flood events altered instream habitat quality and washed away a large
portion of riparian cover in the watershed. Following the loss of the relatively stable
vegetated riparian corridor, livestock grazing has prevented re-growth and has caused
widespread bank instability as a result of unregulated stream access. will result in the restoration and protection of approximately one mile of
degraded brook trout habitat. This project will result in the reconnection of upstream
spawning and rearing habitat to the mainstem of Thorn Creek. Reestablishment of the
riparian corridor will provide lower overall water temperatures in addition to refuge areas
during lower flows. The instream restoration will create habitat zones and a more stable
hydrology through this reach and downstream.

This folder contains information and photos for 13 projects funded in 2009. Over $381,000 in funding for these projects came from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service with an estimated partner contribution of $1,260,000. Collectively these projects will enhance over 44 miles of stream habitat, remove 11 fish passage barriers to restore access to over 18 miles of stream, and result in an estimated $33 million in socioeconomic benefits.

Assessment and Restoration of Southern Appalachian Brook Trout in Jocassee Gorges, South Carolina
-
This project will complete an assessment of brook trout in-stream habitat, water quality, and fish distribution information in all Jocassee Gorges streams during the first two years of the project. During the third year, we will conduct restoration on at least two of the top priority streams identified for restoration. Restoration will likely consist of restoring habitat using proven natural channel design techniques, removal of excessive sediments, removal of non-natives, and culminating with translocation of pure southern Appalachian brook trout from nearby streams. This will restore an estimated 2-3 Jocassee Gorges streams totaling 8 miles.
