                                      Tipton Creek is located within the Upper Tellico Off-Highway Vehicle Area on the Tusquitee Ranger District of the Nantahala National Forest.  The entire watershed is in public ownership except for several small private inholdings, one of which is along a middle reach of Tipton Creek.  Currently the Forest Service is evaluatingalternatives for future management of the Off-Highway Vehicle Area because of significant resources damage, particularly to streams and resident brook trout populations.  This project will be the first of several designed to reconnect and restore brook trout habitat and populations within the Tellico River watershed.  It will remove one barrier on Tipton Creek in the Upper Tellico River Watershed to reconnect approximately 4 miles of stream.

                                      In 2006, an initial watershed based assessment of coldwater habitat conditions was completed by Trout Unlimited in the Upper Connecticut in New Hampshire and Vermont.  In 2008, Trout Unlimited designated the Upper Connecticut as one if its Home Rivers Initiatives, the only one in New England.  Trout Unlimited's assessment identified fish habitat problems through the watershed, including lack of riparian habitat, poor instream habitat diversity and complexity, and inadequate stream crossings.  This project will initiate the first phase of a long term culvert removal and instream habitat program by replacing four high priority culverts and implementing instream woody habitat restorations in Indian Stream, starting on the East Branch.  The culverts to be replaced are on four important brook trout nursery streams: Dry Creek, Johns Brook, Hidden Brook, and Alder Brook.  The project will restore 3 miles of habitat on east branch, the largest tributary to Indian Stream.

                                      Project SHARE and the Service completed a basin wide stream-road crossing and fisheries assessment in the WB Machias River.  There are 43 fish bearing road crossings in this subbasin that limit aquatic connectivity.  To date, 11 crossing have been replaced and 8 crossings have been decommissioned.  Funding has been secured to remove all but two of the remaining barriers.  This project will remove one of those last two barriers in the basin, reconnecting approximately 0.5 miles of habitat for brook trout and restore ecological stream function.
