File Troff document Little Cards Brook Culvert Replacement, ME_FY16 Project
The project removed an aquatic passage barrier and restored access to an additional ¼ mile of cold water refugia.

File Troff document Lynn Camp Prong Brook Trout Restoration, TN_FY11 Project
This project was focused on removing rainbow trout from Lynn Camp Prong and re-stocking this stream with wild southern Appalachian strain Brook Trout,

File Troff document Lynn Camp Prong Restoration, TN_FY07 Project
This project eliminated non-native Rainbow Trout from Lynn Camp Prong in the Great Smoky Mountains State Park through the use of chemical means. Approximately 8 miles of stream were treated in an effort to restore a viable Brook Trout population.

File Troff document Rehabilitation of an Unnamed Stream, ME_FY08 Project
This project corrected the vertical alignment of an unnamed stream Belfast, ME to accommodate historic aquatic connectivity to the marine environment, benefitting sea-run Brook Trout.

File Troff document Restoring Connectivity in the West Branch Machias River, ME_FY10 Project
This project replaced two under-sized and failing road-stream crossings (culverts) with 1.2 x bankfull width open arch structures.

File Troff document Scott Brook Fish Passage Restoration, ME_FY13 Project
This project restored ecological stream function within Scott Brook from Big Lake to the Stud Mill Road. It also provided unhindered upstream access to approximately 3 miles of habitat for Brook Trout and other native species. A prolonged sedimentation problem (water overtopping road) that was a direct result of beaver’s plugging the old undersized culvert was minimized by installing a bankfull spanning structure.

File Troff document 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).

File Troff document 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.

File chemical/x-pdb 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.
