Carloe Brook Fish Passage Restoration, ME_FY11 Project
-
The project replaced an undersized and failing stream crossing on Carloe Brook a major tributary to Clifford Lake that has wild brook trout. This stream crossing currently limits passage for trout and other aquatic organisms. The current crossing is also a significant sediment source due to improper construction and overtopping. The crossing was replaced with a 1.2 bankfull open bottom arch culvert (15ft wide) designed to allow passage at all flows.

Harpeth River Restoration
-
As part of a jointly funded project via the National Fish Passage Program, the totality of this project is removing a lowhead dam and restoring the immediate area to riffle/run habitat for the benefit of improved water quality and native fish habitat in the Harpeth River, TN.

Harvey’s Lake Dam Removal, South Peacham Brook, Barnet, Vermont
-
Removal of the Harvey's Lake dam improves natural flow regimes, free-flowing river conditions, water quality and temperature, sediment release and transport, and connectivity to 27 miles within the Stevens River watershed. Floodplain restoration and large wood installations provides additional habitat in South Peacham Brook. The project cost is $861,750 and the estimated socioeconomic benefit is $14.7 million.

Nashville crayfish Habitat Restoration on the Nashville Zoo Property
-
Mill Creek Watershed has been negatively affected by urbanization,resulting in increased sedimentation,reduced habitat quality, ultimately resulting in the Nashville crayfish being federally listed. This project will restore an unnamed tributary of Mill Creek by removing a barrier and restoring connectivity of the tributary.

Restoring habitat connectivity in Machias and Saint Croix River tributary streams, ME_FY11 Project
-
Through this project, Downeast Lakes Land Trust (DLLT) continued its work with partners to restore brook trout habitat on priority streams within its 55,678-acre Downeast Lakes Community Forest by removing passage barriers. Of the four sites included in the original proposal (Billy Brown Brook/Shaw St., Amazon Brook/Amazon Rd., Grand Lake Brook/Fourth Lake Rd., and Fourth Lake Trib./Belden Brook Rd), two were completed using NRCS funding received after the initial proposal was submitted to USFWS. As a result, Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture funding was used to restore fish passage at two additional sites at South Branch/Little River Rd and Towers Brook/Little River Rd.

Tipton Creek Culvert Replacement, NC_FY10 Project
-
In the summer of 2011 the culvert at the Davis Creek Road (FSR 420) crossing of Tipton Creek was
removed and replaced with a concrete arch, stream simulation crossing for the purpose of passing
aquatic organisms, where the existing culvert was known to be a barrier to aquatic passage due to
velocity and outlet drop. The crossing was sized using the 100-year flow calculation derived from the
USGS Regression Equation for the mountains of North Carolina. Additionally, the width of the crossing
was designed to accommodate a bankfull flow channel dimension plus a small area of floodplain. The
channel was reconstructed through the crossing using the dimension, pattern, and profile of the
reference reach upstream. The new channel was constructed using imported boulders and onsite alluvial
materials. Grass seed was sown, and trees and shrubs were planted, both potted and live-stakes. Over
the last year since construction, the site has experienced several small flood events. The site remains
stable, passable to all aquatic species, and looks more and more natural every year as planted and
natural vegetation establishes.
