Smith Creek Headwaters Restoration, VA_FY06 Project
-
The Smith Creek headwaters restoration project restored riparian and upland pastures to bottomland and upland forests in an
area with several spring habitats that provide critical spawning, rearing and late summer temperature refuge habitats for Brook Trout. The restored habitat connects to a small isolated Brook Trout population found upstream on protected National Forest land (Mountain Run).

St. Croix River Tributary Culvert Replacement,West Musquash Tributary, Grand Lake Stream, Maine
-
This project will improve access to a West Musquash Tributary (Otter Brook) for fish and other aquatic organisms and restore the ecological function of this stream. In addition, the project will address a chronic sedimentation problem that is detrimental to the health of the stream, the 4,200 acre Big Musquash wetlands complex, and the West Branch of the St. Croix River International Waterway. The project cost is $44,000 and the estimated socioeconomic benefit is $0.8 million.

Sunday River "Chop and Drop", ME_FY07 Project
-
This project evaluated the impacts of adding large woody material to streams in order to attenuate flows and determined that adding this material resulted in positive trends in reducing flashiness of flows, improving Brook Trout habitat, and trapping sediment. However, one of the lessons learned was that a longer monitoring period than the three-year life of this project is needed. Overall, the project determined that "chop and drop" can be a relatively inexpensive and simple method to attenuate variability in flows, create, improve and restore Brook Trout habitat, and trap sediment.

Technical Guide for Field Practitioners: Understanding and Monitoring Aquatic Organism Passage at Road-Stream Crossings
-
Stream connectivity has become increasingly important for river restoration and fish-habitat improvement projects (Fullerton et al. 2010) amidst increasing evidence that it plays a vital role in supporting aquatic organism populations (Roni et al. 2002; Gibson et al. 2005) and species diversity (Nislow et al. 2011). Recent emphasis on identifying and removing barriers in order to restore aquatic organism passage (AOP) is based on well-documented negative effects of road-stream crossings on fish (Rieman et al. 1997; Hudy et al. 2005) and the potential for cost-effective restoration of aquatic habitat. However, challenges remain in identifying barriers and prioritizing road-stream crossings for remediation. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service (USFS) has been working to stream-line the process of identifying and remediating road-stream crossings that are inadequate for AOP.
