South Bog Stream Restoration Project, Maine
-
South Bog Stream is a tributary of Rangeley Lake in Franklin
County, Maine. Historically, the stream was known as the
lake’s primary brook trout spawning tributary and it still
supports a population of wild brook trout. However, Rangeley
Lake, once known for its large brook trout, no longer has a
thriving wild brook trout fishery. South Bog Stream no longer
contributes a substantial number of brook trout to the lake.
This fact is one possible reason for the decline of Rangeley’s
renowned brook trout fishery. A 2001 stream survey revealed
habitat degradation along the lower reaches of the 6.3-milelong
stream, presumably as a result of the log-driving era in
the late 1800s and early 1900s. Sections of the stream are
shallow and wide. There are very few deep pools which
provide essential habitat for brook trout. Because of habitat
degradation, the stream produces fewer trout than it did prior
to stream alterations over a century ago. The Maine
Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is restoring
sections of the stream by rebuilding pools, narrowing and
deepening the channel.

West Virginia Brook Trout Distribution Assessment
-
The EBTJV range wide assessment of brook trout identified a distinct gap in our knowledge of the status and distribution of brook trout in West Virginia. This project will compile existing data on brook trout in southeastern West Virginia, conduct field surveys to fill in gaps, and collect samples for micro-satellite DNA analysis. The results will be used to produce a quality assured GIS based data set for the entire state of West Virginia that includes spatially explicit information on brook trout reproduction, population status, habitat and water quality.

South Branch of Kinzua Creek Acid Precipitation Remediation Project, Pennsylvania
-
This project is a design/construct/implementation/research project located in Allegheny National Forest, in Hamlin and Wetmore Townships, McKean County that when completed will restore water quality and reestablish recruitment of brook trout within approximately 5 miles of stream. Three acid precipitation impaired tributaries of the South Branch of Kinzua Creek will be treated and restored in concert with routine Forest Service road maintenance by constructing innovative passive treatment systems that will supply buffering capacity to the watershed via the roads stormwater management facility.

Upper White River Habitat Restoration, VT
-
This project will address flood and flood recovery related habitat modifications on four tributaries to the Upper White River in Rochester, Vermont by utilizing active in-stream management and design; establishing riparian buffers; and removing barriers to fish passage in order to restore brook trout habitat and the natural hydrologic regime. When complete, the project will result in the protection and enhancement of 2.75 miles of in-stream habitat and over 30 acres of floodplain and riparian habitat on the West Branch as well as 8.1 miles of in-stream habitat in Howe, Marsh, and Nason Brooks.

Scott Brook Fish Passage Project, Maine
-
This project will replace an undersized and failing stream crossing on Scott Brook, a wild brook trout stream, with an open bottom arch culvert. Once complete, the project will restore access from Big Lake to approximately 3 miles of stream habitat for brook trout and other native species.
