File Assessing the Efficacy of Remediating Episodic Low pH (and High Aluminum) Concentrations in Headwater Brook Trout Streams with Clam Shell Additions_FY09 Project
This project demonstrated that clam shells could be utilized to increase pH and decrease detrimental inorganic aluminum concentrations. In Dead Stream, water chemistry has improved by approximately 1.0 pH unit, and total fish densities increased two-fold. In Canaan Brook water chemistry has improved by 1.0 pH unit and First Lake Stream improved by 0.7 pH unit, while fish densities have increased 2- and 6- times, respectively. Macroinvertebrate communities have improved somewhat, especially among mayflies and stoneflies, while amphipods and snails have appeared for the first time. However, even at treated sites, macroinvertebrate communities continue to have low diversity and may not achieve Class A water quality. Overall, by adding buffering capacity, there has been a boost to the bottom of the food chain which has contributed to improved fish abundance and diversity. In the fourth year, biological communities are still adapting to the new conditions.

File Troff document Big Run Restoration, WV_FY06 Project
The Big Run project is part of Trout Unlimited’s Home Rivers Initiative Potomac Headwaters Restoration Project. The Forest Service, Trout Unlimited and others teamed up to fence the riparian zone, create crossings and alternative water sources to completely remove cattle from the stream. Over time, riparian reforestation will stabilize banks and provide vital shade during warm summer months. The project also included informational and educational kiosks and trails that improved access for anglers and hikers.

File Troff document Browns River Watershed, VT_FY06 Project
The project installed livestock fencing, alternative water systems, and planted native trees and shrubs to restore degraded riparian areas. The project also replaced a failed culvert with a bridge to allow for the year round upstream movement of Brook Trout in Stevensville Brook.

Celebrating 1,000 Culverts
THE U.S. FOREST SERVICE AND ITS MANY PARTNERS ARE BUILDING BETTER CULVERTS TO OPEN WATERWAYS FOR FISH TO GROW, REPRODUCE AND SURVIVE, TO IMPROVE THE RESILIENCY OF ROADS TO FLOODING, AND TO PROTECT TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE FOR COMMUNITIES

File Troff document Cooper Creek Restoration, GA_FY06 Project
This project restored over 1.6 miles of Southern Appalachian Brook Trout habitat contained within the Cooper Creek Watershed of the Chattahoochee National Forest, GA. Habitat in Bryant Creek and Pretty and Burnett Branches were restored using only hand labor to minimize soil disturbance. After non-native trout species were removed, trees were cut into and across the various stream reaches to provide in-stream cover and create pool habitat for Brook Trout and other aquatic species.

File Troff document Culvert Replacement in the West Musquash Tributary. ME_FY18 Project
This project replaced a culvert with an open-bottomed arch and installed a 15’ wide earth berm to separate the St. Croix and Machias watersheds to prevent invasive species from range expansion.
