  • Brook Trout Outcome Management Strategy
    Brook Trout Outcome Management Strategy Introduction Brook Trout symbolize healthy waters because they rely on clean, cold stream habitat and are sensitive to rising stream temperatures, thereby serving as an aquatic version of a “canary in a coal mine”. Brook Trout are also highly prized by recreational anglers and have been designated as the state fish in many eastern states. They are an essential part of the headwater stream ecosystem, an important part of the upper watershed’s natural heritage and a valuable recreational resource. Land trusts in West Virginia, New York and Virginia have found that the possibility of restoring Brook Trout to local streams can act as a motivator for private landowners to take conservation actions, whether it is installing a fence that will exclude livestock from a waterway or putting their land under a conservation easement. The decline of Brook Trout serves as a warning about the health of local waterways and the lands draining to them. More than a century of declining Brook Trout populations has led to lost economic revenue and recreational fishing opportunities in the Bay’s headwaters. Chesapeake Bay Management Strategy: Brook Trout March 16, 2015 - DRAFT I. Goal, Outcome and Baseline This management strategy identifies approaches for achieving the following goal and outcome: Vital Habitats Goal: Restore, enhance and protect a network of land and water habitats to support fish and wildlife, and to afford other public benefits, including water quality, recreational uses and scenic value across the watershed. Brook Trout Outcome: Restore and sustain naturally reproducing Brook Trout populations in Chesapeake Bay headwater streams, with an eight percent increase in occupied habitat by 2025.

  • Summary of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Suspended-Sediment Loads and Trends Measured at the Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network Stations for Water Years 2009–2018
    Summary of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Suspended-Sediment Loads and Trends Measured at the Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network Stations for Water Years 2009–2018 Prepared by Douglas L. Moyer and Joel D. Blomquist, U.S. Geological Survey, March 2, 2020 The Chesapeake Bay nontidal network (NTN) currently consists of 123 stations throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Stations are located near U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) stream-flow gages to permit estimates of nutrient and sediment loadings and trends in the amount of loadings delivered downstream. Routine samples are collected monthly, and 8 additional storm-event samples are also collected to obtain a total of 20 samples per year, representing a range of discharge and loading conditions (Chesapeake Bay Program, 2020). The Chesapeake Bay partnership uses results from this monitoring network to focus restoration strategies and track progress in restoring the Chesapeake Bay. Methods Changes in nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads in rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed have been calculated using monitoring data from 123 NTN stations (Moyer and Langland, 2020). Constituent loads are calculated with at least 5 years of monitoring data, and trends are reported after at least 10 years of data collection. Additional information for each monitoring station is available through the USGS website “Water-Quality Loads and Trends at Nontidal Monitoring Stations in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed” (https://cbrim.er.usgs.gov/). This website provides State, Federal, and local partners as well as the general public ready access to a wide range of data for nutrient and sediment conditions across the Chesapeake Bay watershed. In this summary, results are reported for the 10-year period from 2009 through 2018.

  • Chemung River Friends 2019 Annual Report Notes River Development/Access
    1 CHEMUNG RIVER FRIENDS 2019 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES RIVER DEVELOPMENT/ACCESS: River Friends led a project to make badly needed improvements at the Fitch’s Bridge Boat Launch in Big Flats. Improvements included: installing a concrete boat ramp, grading and paving the badly rutted and pot-holed access road and parking lot and installing a drainage pipe to reduce erosion and storm water damage. “The scores of potholes, ruts and pooled water made it one of the worst launch sites on the river,” said River Friends Executive Director Jim Pfiffer. “It was impossible to drive a vehicle on the access road and parking lot without hitting potholes. It was so bad motorists were driving off the road and onto the grass causing more ruts and drainage problems in the turf.” The project was a community partnership that involved River Friends, the Sportsmen’s Federation of Chemung County, an Elmira Heights contractor, an Elmira fabricating business and a municipality. The launch is owned by the nonprofit Sportsmen’s Federation of Chemung County. The town of Big Flats paved for free and Edger Contractors in Elmira installed the concrete ramp for free. River Friends financed the $16,627 cost of materials. The 30-foot concrete ramp was installed in July and features a plaque honoring the late Tom Beecher, a former River Friends board president who died in 2017 and who enjoyed fishing and paddling on the river. The plaque was created and donated to River Friends by Southern Tier Custom Fabricators in Elmira. CORNING RIVER DEVELOPMENT: We worked with City of Corning officials on their 10-year river/parks development plan.
