    Fort Dupont Subwatershed Restoration: 1999 Baseline Stream Assessment Study – Physical, Chemical and Biological Conditions American Eel Anguilla rostrata Prepared for: U.S. Geological Survey Biological Resources Division Patuxent Wildlife Research Center Laurel, Maryland Prepared by: Department of Environmental Programs Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments April 2000 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Project Background Over the past 300 years, farming, urbanization, loss of wetland and forest habitat, erosion, sedimentation and toxic pollution have all taken a tremendous toll on the 176 square mile Anacostia River watershed. After centuries of neglect, the signing of the historic Anacostia River Watershed Restoration Agreement and formation of the Anacostia Watershed Restoration Committee (AWRC) in 1987 marked the beginning of a concerted and focused effort to restore and protect the river and its tributaries. Since its inception, the AWRC has worked closely with Federal natural resource agencies and landowners such as the National Park Service (NPS), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and others to integrate their related programmatic responsibilities and resources into the overall restoration effort. In 1997 staff of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG) were hired by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to conduct an ecological impact assessment of Federally-owned lands within the Anacostia, which comprise 15 percent of the total drainage area. As part of that work, COG staff developed a technical analysis of ecological problems and an associated suite of conceptual designs targeted for their correction. Included in the study was the Fort Dupont tributary, which was identified as experiencing stormwater-related runoff problems in its headwaters, and for which conceptual restoration designs were developed.
