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.

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 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.

Lake Champlain, Vermont
-
Sedimentation, increased water temperature, barriers to passage and lack of riparian vegetation have been identified as the major threats to Vermont's brook trout population. The project includes has two principle efforts underway: installation of livestock fencing, alternative water systems, and planting native trees and shrubs to restore degraded riparian areas and the replacement of an existing failed culvert with a bridge to allow for the year round upstream movement of brook trout on Stevensville Brook.
