Little Cards Brook Culvert Replacement, Franklin ME
-
This project will replace an undersized and failing stream crossing on Little Cards Brook, a wild brook trout water. It will also fix a chronic sedimentation problem that is detrimental to the health of the stream and Great Pond. The project will result in improved access over Little Cards Brook and enhancement of native brook trout habitat.

Beebe River Watershed Connectivity Project, Campton and Sandwich, NH
-
This project includes the removal and replacement of five stream crossings in the Beebe River
Watershed on a 5,435 acre parcel recently acquired by The Conservation Fund. These
crossings are on five separate tributary streams that flow into the Beebe River in Campton and
Sandwich, NH. Wild brook trout have been documented in all of these streams and the
watershed area upstream of this property is completely encompassed within the White
Mountain National Forest. This project restores watershed level function by providing over 5 miles of accessible thermal refuge and spawning locations in 5 high priority locations along about 30% of the entire length of the Beebe River. 2015 summer temperature data indicates survival in the Beebe River is
likely compromised without access to these tributaries.

This folder contains information on the two habitat projects funded in FY15. Collectively these projects will remove 2 fish passage barriers to reconnect 2.7 miles of habitat and restore 7 miles of in-stream habitat for native brook trout. These projects were funded by the EBTJV and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for $107,560. An additional $1,088,500 in partner contributions are expected. The estimated socioeconomic value of these projects is $5.9 million.

Nash Stream Restoration & Columbia Road Culverts, Odell, Coos County, NH
-
This Project will restore six miles of instream habitat by adding wood and other habitat elements, and will replace two culverts to remediate long-term habitat impairments caused by a catastrophic dam break,
subsequent bulldozing and berming, active and passive removal of instream wood and geomorphically-incompatible stream crossings, ultimately resulting in the restoration of thriving wild brook trout populations in Nash Stream and its perennial tributaries.

Upper Shavers Fork Instream and Riparian Habitat Restoration, Randolph County, WV
-
This project will restore instream coldwater habitat in approximately one mile of the Shavers Fork mainstem, and restore riparian habitat on both sides of the Shavers Fork mainstem in the restoration reach. A partner project will simultaneously improve fish passage and habitat in Powerhouse Run, another spawning tributary of Shavers Fork. These actions will cool elevated mainstem temperatures both within and downstream of the project area, enhance mainstem habitat, increase access to the mainstem forage base, and facilitate genetic mixing within the metapopulation.

Mill Creek Stream Restoration, Tygart River, Kumbrabow State Forest, WV
-
2012 extreme storm damage in West Virginia has suspended down trees over a native brook trout stream offering no LWD habitat benefits, potentially introducing tributary fish passage barriers, potentially introducing an “over-shadowing” effect in an already well-shaded system, and presenting significant obstruction to stream recreation and fishing. It will take decades for these storm damages to rectify naturally with the potential for negative effects on stream bank stability and sedimentation. Strategically removing and placing LWD according to an assessment and scoring methodology on Mill Creek will hasten the incorporation of sustainable in stream LWD habitat for long-term brook trout fishery benefits.
This project proposes to utilize principals of natural stream restoration and “chop and drop” LWD placement to address suspended tree storm damage on 6 miles of Mill Creek, WV in Kumbrabow State Forest, one of West Virginia’s 4 intact brook trout populations. Furthermore, this project will identify and address tributary fish passage barriers with debris removal and/or culvert replacement with baffled systems.
