  • Fishway Ladder
    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS A. Fishway B. Riverwalk C. DNR Compliance with NR 333 D. Dam Removal E. Property Issues F. Fish and Aquatic Life G. Wildlife H. Recreational Use A. Fishway 1. What is the estimated cost to build a fishway at Bridge Street dam? The engineering consultant, Bonestroo, has estimated the cost at $1.3 million per the NOAA grant. 2. If the fishway is constructed next year, will it have to be rebuilt when the dam needs to be removed and replaced? Essentially no. Most of the fishway is a separate upstream structure and will not be impacted by demolition and construction of a new dam. The fishway entrance area may need to be modified if a new dam is installed or if the dam abutments are altered. 3. Why is the fishway being constructed on the west bank of the river? The west bank allows land owned by the Village of Grafton to be used for a portion of the channel alignment. Furthermore, the heaviest construction will likely be in the area currently owned by the Village (penetration of the west dam abutment). Other advantages include the appeal to tourists able to view fish entering and ascending the fishway from the riverwalk, and the known presence of shallow bedrock helping assure good foundation characteristics. Furthermore, the historic mill race crosses the area, and a portion of the mill race alignment may assist with fishway construction. 4. How long will it take to complete the construction of the fishway? The fishway will be completed by late fall of 2010.

The scoring subgroup developed and used a passage scoring matrix to evaluate the passage options. Facilitation Team Facilitators Gina Bartlett and Stephanie Horii of Consensus Building Institute assisted the subgroups to document the process and compile results into this final report. 2 Executive Summary Background and Purpose The Potter Valley Project on the Eel River is a set of hydroelectric facilities that includes two large dams (Scott and Cape Horn), water-diversion facilities, and a powerhouse. The project involves an inter-basin transfer that stores winter runoff from the upper Eel River and diverts much of that water to the Russian River to generate hydroelectric power and meet contract water demands. Scott Dam, which creates Lake Pillsbury, is a complete barrier to native fish species, preventing access to high value habitat for federally Endangered Species Act (ESA)-listed anadromous salmonids. To balance diverse Potter Valley Project interests, Congressman Jared Huffman established an Ad Hoc Committee comprised of representative stakeholder groups across four counties, who have agreed to work collaboratively towards a two-basin solution.

  • The Efficiency of a Fish Ladder for Salmonid Upstream Migration in a Swedish Stream Potential Impact of a Hydropower Station on Connectivity and Recruitment
    The Efficiency of a Fish Ladder for Salmonid Upstream Migration in a Swedish Stream Potential Impact of a Hydropower Station on Connectivity and Recruitment Anton Larsson Degree project for Master of Science in Biology Animal Ecology, 30 hec, AT 2016 Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences University of Gothenburg Supervisors: Johan Höjesjö, Lars-Olof Ramnelid, Daniel Johansson Examiner: Charlotta Kvarnemo Abstract Assessments of the function of fish passages are typically rare, although the approach is frequently implemented to mitigate adverse effects of hydropower plants. In this study 249 electro fishing samples from 1979-2015, were used to assess the efficiency of a fish ladder to allow upstream migration of salmonids past a hydropower station in Örekilsälven, Sweden. Densities of brown trout (both young of the year, 0+, and older juveniles, >0+) did not increase in the area upstream the hydropower station after construction of the fish passage; neither did the densities of salmon 0+. >0+ salmon had a higher density upstream the hydropower station after completion of the fish ladder, however this is most likely explained by extensive fish translocations. 0+ salmon were only found in 5 % of the sampling occasions upstream the power station when translocations were removed, whereas 0+ brown trout were found in 44.3 %. No effect of discharge for ascension was found in the study. The efficiency of the passage was determined low and non-satisfactory for Atlantic salmon and brown trout, although the evaluation is more difficult for brown trout as a consequence of resident forms. Smolt models indicate that contemporary smolt escapement of both salmon and brown trout almost exclusively originate from the downstream areas.

Lamprey River Research Lamprey River Art The New Hampshire Department of Fish and Game was consulted and engineering plans were drawn up for the dam NH Legislature Tracking repair and fish ladder. The process was looking good and moving forward. Because Wiswall Falls is listed on the Register of Historic Places both in New Hampshire and federally, personnel from the NH Bureau of Historic Resources were invited to review the plans and do a site visit. This visit was when the original plan met its first major obstacle. The planned fish ladder would have permanently obscured and obliterated the historic sawmill foundation along the river. This was deemed unacceptable and the plan was rejected.

  • The Nimbus Fish Passage Project
    incorporating whitewater boating in: The Nimbus Fish Passage Project Alex Koutzoukis 2012 Senior Project Accepted and approved by: __________________ Heath Schenker Professor & Senior Project Advisor, Program of Landscape Architecture, University of California Davis __________________ Claire Napawan Associate Professor, Program of Landscape Architecture, University of California Davis __________________ Andrew Fulks, Committee Member Manager, Putah Creek Riparian Reserve, Office of Resource Management and Planning, University of California Davis __________________ Josh Galt, Committee Member River Director, Primal Quest Adventure Racing Abstract This project focuses on a half mile stretch of the Lower American River directly below Nimbus Dam in Rancho Cordova, California. It explores the possibility of incorporating recreational whitewater features in a river restoration project. Currently, the United States Bureau of Reclamation is obligated to make improvements to the fish collecting system at the Nimbus Fish Hatchery. As part of Alternative 1 in the Nimbus Fish Passage Environmental Impact Report, it is possible to construct recreational whitewater features with the removal of an old, damaged weir that spans the river. This project aims to evaluate the structures that are used in whitewater park design and how they can be conducive to salmonid spawning habitat. The design of the site includes the surrounding landscape which will serve to provide interpretive and educational opportunities for learning about salmonid species and the importance of protecting the American River Watershed. This project demonstrates how fish passage, stream restoration, and recreational whitewater boating can coexist for multiple benefits. INTRODUCTION About the Author I am fascinated with the interaction between humans and nature. Being an avid whitewater enthusiast, this project was a perfect platform to combine my interests in Landscape Architecture, Ecological Restoration, and Outdoor Recreation.

  • Appendix A: Fish
    Appendix A: Fish Alewife Alosa pseudoharengus Federal Listing State Listing SC Global Rank G5 State Rank S5 High Regional Status Photo by NHFG Justification (Reason for Concern in NH) Alewife numbers have declined significantly throughout their range. Commercial landings of river herring, a collective term for alewives and blueback herring, have declined by 93% since 1985 (ASMFC 2009). Dams severely limit accessible anadromous fish spawning habitat, and alewives must use fish ladders for access to most spawning habitat in New Hampshire during spring spawning runs. River herring are a key component of freshwater, estuarine, and marine food webs (Bigelow and Schroeder 1953). They are an important source of prey for many predators, and they contribute nutrients to freshwater ecosystems (Macavoy et al. 2000). Distribution The alewife is found in Atlantic coastal rivers from Newfoundland to North Carolina. It has been introduced into a number of inland waterbodies (Scott and Crossman 1973). In New Hampshire, alewives migrate into the Merrimack River and the seacoast drainages (Scarola 1987). Habitat Adult alewives migrate from the ocean into freshwater spawning habitats with slow moving water, including riverine oxbows, lakes, ponds, and mid‐river sites (Scott and Crossman 1973). Juveniles remain in freshwater until late summer and early fall when they migrate downstream into estuaries and eventually to the ocean. There is little information available on alewife movement and habitat use in the ocean. New Hampshire Wildlife Action Plan Appendix A Fish-21 Appendix A: Fish NH Wildlife Action Plan Habitats ● Large Warmwater Rivers ● Warmwater Lakes and Ponds ● Warmwater Rivers and Streams Distribution Map Current Species and Habitat Condition in New Hampshire Coastal Watersheds: Alewife populations in the coastal watersheds are generally stable or increasing in recent years at fish ladders where river herring and other diadromous species have been monitored since 1979.
