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). -

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. -
