Project Troff document Alarka Headwaters habitat connectvity and sediment reduction project
The long-term viability of native Eastern Brook Trout in the southern Appalachian mountains is threatened primarily by three stressors: 1) loss of connectivity between fish populations for reproduction and gene flow and between fish and their available habitat; 2) sedimentation impacts on fish health and habitat; and 3) loss of cold waters due to climate change and high elevation land loss/degradation. This project directly addresses the first two stressors by replacing a double-piped culverted stream crossing on National Forest System Road 86 (FSR86) with a bottomless arch pipe (AOP) over Alarka Creek and adjusting the elevation and drainage features on the graveled road approaches to alleviate existing storm sediment inputs. This project is Phase I of a three-phased connectivity and sediment reduction project, with Phases II and III in years two – four involving replacement of two fords with AOP structures, graveled road improvements that reduce sedimentation, and a spruce bog restoration. All phases of this project occur within a high elevation (~4,000 feet) protected area in 100% ownership by the Nantahala National Forest, which indirectly addresses the third stressor. This work is needed to enhance genetic diversification and create a more robust, resilient and thriving group of brook trout populations better able to withstand a warming climate. It is a project that supports goals of the State of NC’s Wildlife Habitat Action Plan, Trout Management Plan and the Pisgah-Nantahala National Forest’s Land Resources Management Plan.

Project Restoring Brook Trout in the Bald Mountains of Tennessee
Native brook trout (NBT) are currently present in two of the three major drainages in the project area, Wolf Creek and Gulf Fork These two drainages both have a unique strain of NBT only found in the French Broad Watershed. The third drainage, Trail Fork, historically had NBT present. This population was extirpated and replaced with non-native rainbow trout. To address threats to NBT in the Bald Mountains, Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency (TWRA), Cherokee National Forest (CNF), Trout Unlimited, and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) launched a subwatershed-scale project with four distinct objectives. This EBTJV project is the fourth part: 4. Replacing a double culvert crossing on FSR96 over Wolf Creek to improve fish passage and reduce the threat of failure.
