  • Evaluation of Wild Brook Trout Populations in Vermont Streams
    Evaluation of Wild Brook Trout Populations in Vermont Streams Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department Annual Report State: Vermont Project No.: F-36-R-19 Grant Title: Inland Waters Fisheries and Habitat Management Study No. I Study Title: Salmonid Inventory and Management Period Covered: July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017 SUMMARY Wild brook trout populations in Vermont streams appeared to be relatively stable over a period of five decades as evidenced in this evaluation of 150 sites. Present-day brook trout populations sampled in 138 streams within 17 watersheds were characterized by abundant natural reproduction and multiple age-classes, including the contribution of older, larger fish. While most population measures were consistent between the two time periods, significantly higher densities of young-of-year brook trout were observed in current populations which may reflect improved environmental protections initiated since the 1950s. A decline in sympatric brown trout and rainbow trout sites also suggest that non-native trout populations have not appreciably expanded over the past 50 years. INTRODUCTION Brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis are native to Vermont and are widely distributed throughout the state (VDFW 1993, EBTJV). It is the fish species most likely to be encountered in small upland streams, particularly at higher elevations where it is often the only fish species inhabiting these waters. In addition to being an indicator of high quality aquatic habitat, brook trout are also a favorite of Vermont anglers. Statewide angler surveys conducted in 1991, 2000 and 2010, revealed it was the fish species most preferred by Vermont resident anglers (Claussen et al. 1992, Kuentzel 2001, Connelly and Knuth 2010).

  • Official List of Public Waters
    Official List of Public Waters New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Water Division Dam Bureau 29 Hazen Drive PO Box 95 Concord, NH 03302-0095 (603) 271-3406 https://www.des.nh.gov NH Official List of Public Waters Revision Date October 9, 2020 Robert R. Scott, Commissioner Thomas E. O’Donovan, Division Director OFFICIAL LIST OF PUBLIC WATERS Published Pursuant to RSA 271:20 II (effective June 26, 1990) IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use this list for determining water bodies that are subject to the Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act (CSPA). The CSPA list is available on the NHDES website. Public waters in New Hampshire are prescribed by common law as great ponds (natural waterbodies of 10 acres or more in size), public rivers and streams, and tidal waters. These common law public waters are held by the State in trust for the people of New Hampshire. The State holds the land underlying great ponds and tidal waters (including tidal rivers) in trust for the people of New Hampshire. Generally, but with some exceptions, private property owners hold title to the land underlying freshwater rivers and streams, and the State has an easement over this land for public purposes. Several New Hampshire statutes further define public waters as including artificial impoundments 10 acres or more in size, solely for the purpose of applying specific statutes. Most artificial impoundments were created by the construction of a dam, but some were created by actions such as dredging or as a result of urbanization (usually due to the effect of road crossings obstructing flow and increased runoff from the surrounding area).

  • Environmental Assessment Northern Border Remote Radio Link Pilot Project Essex and Orleans Counties, Vermont
    DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT NORTHERN BORDER REMOTE RADIO LINK PILOT PROJECT ESSEX AND ORLEANS COUNTIES, VERMONT February 2019 Lead Agency: U.S. Customs and Border Protection 24000 Avila Road, Suite 5020 Laguna Niguel, California 92677 Prepared by: Gulf South Research Corporation 8081 Innovation Park Drive Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70820 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background and Purpose and Need The area near the U.S./Canada International border in Vermont is extremely remote and contains dense forest and steep terrain intersected by numerous streams, lakes, and bogs. These conditions make it very difficult for U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) agents to patrol the area and communicate with each other and station personnel while on patrol. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), has developed a prototypical Remote Radio Link Project that includes the installation of a buried communications cable to enhance the communications capability and safety of Border Patrol agents who are conducting enforcement activities in these areas. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is assisting S&T in developing this Environmental Assessment (EA) to address the proposed installation and operation of the pilot project. The purpose of this pilot project is to determine the effectiveness of this type of remote radio link system in four-season weather. The need for the project is to identify such reliable communication methods that can enhance USBP enforcement activities and agent safety. Proposed Action The Proposed Action includes the installation, operation, and maintenance of a Remote Radio Link Pilot Project along the U.S./Canada International border west of Norton, Vermont.

  • Stream Crossings Like Habitat Connectivity, Streams Require Continuity to Support the Movement of Aquatic Organisms
    MANAGING STATE LANDS FOR WILDLIFE Stream Crossings Like habitat connectivity, streams require continuity to support the movement of aquatic organisms. Many species need different habitats for feeding, breeding, and shelter. The ability to move up or down stream is required for the natural dispersal of individuals. Disruption of stream continuity can result in the loss and degradation of habitat, block wildlife movement, and disrupt the ecological processes that occur in streams over time. Intersections of streams and roads—or stream crossings—have been historically designed to pass water under a road without consideration of stream continuity. Flow variability, natural sediment transport, and aquatic organism passage are overlooked. Characteristic problems of culverts include undersized, shallow, or perched crossings resulting in low or high flow, unnatural bed materials, scouring, erosion, clogging, and ponding. Bridges generally have a lesser impact on streams but, if improperly designed, can still result in sediment deposition and/or streambed degradation. Good stream crossing for wildlife are also good for people. Proper design and placement reduce erosion and damage to roads, infrastructure, and personal property.

Click here for New Hampshire’s Stream Crossing Guidelines and related resources from New Hampshire’s Department of Environmental Services. Mascoma WMA (Canaan) This property contained a 15 foot culvert used to cross the 60-80 foot wide Mascoma River that bisects the property. The culvert was installed by the former landowner. The constriction caused by the culvert led to significant riverbank erosion both up and downstream, forced the river to change course, and deterred fish passage.
