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.

Sevier Road Crossing Stream Restoration in the Nine Mile Creek Watershed, New York
-
This project will restore fish passage across the Sevier Road crossing and reconnect over 1.5 miles of brook trout habitat in an unnamed tributary to Nine Mile Creek. Project objectives are to restore channel stability and habitat function to 250 linear feet of stream using natural channel design and evaluate brook trout population response to stream channel and fish passage restoration.

Smethport Reservoir Dam Removal and Habitat Restoration, Pennsylvania
-
Smethport Reservoir Dam Removal and Habitat Restoration, Pennsylvania
-
This project seeks to remove the Smethport Reservoir Dam to restore passage and free flowing stream habitat for brook trout on Blacksmith Run and eliminate a significant liability and safety concern and reduce localized flooding. Approximately 1.9 miles of stream will be reopened to fish passage, 770 linear feet of in-stream habitat restored, and 1540 feet of riparian habitat restored. Additional benefits anticipated from the project include improvements in water quality, enhanced transport of nutrients and woody debris, and re-established connectivity between the stream, riparian area and groundwater interface.

Smith Creek Headwaters Restoration, Viginia
-
Historic cattle grazing and agricultural practices over the last 225 years have eliminated the majority of riparian vegetation in the study area causing increased water temperatures and extensive sedimentation in both the pools and riffle habitats in the headwaters of Smith Creek. These land use changes have extirpated brook trout and greatly reduced populations of native gravel spawning fishes, native mussels and American eel in the study area. The Smith Creek headwaters restoration will restore 4 miles of stream habitat and 65 acres of riparian forest / upland forest in an area with several spring habitats that provide critical spawning, rearing and late summer temperature refuge habitats for brook trout. The restored habitat will connect to a small isolated brook trout population found upstream on protected National Forest land (Mountain Run).

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.
