THE HEADWATERS ALLIANCE WILL RESTORE A DEGRADED REACH OF WILLOW CREEK IN SOUTHWESTERNCOLORADO. NATURAL AND ANTHROPOGENIC DISTURBANCES ACROSS THE WILLOW CREEK WATERSHED HAVE RESULTED IN THE ACCUMULATION OF AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF SEDIMENT IN THE PROJECT REACH, CREATING AN OVERLY WIDE, SHALLOW CHANNEL, WITH LARGE ROCK SUBSTRATE, AND A NEAR TOTAL LACK OF RIPARIAN VEGETATION. AS A RESULT, AQUATIC AND RIPARIAN HABITAT IS IMPAIRED, THE CAPACITY OF THE CREEK TO CARRY FLOOD WATERS HAS BEEN REDUCED, AND EROSION HAS DAMAGED EXISTING ROADWAY EMBANKMENTS, RECREATION FACILITIES, AND FLOOD CONTROL INFRASTRUCTURE. THE HEADWATERS ALLIANCE WILL ESTABLISH 2.2 ACRES OF VEGETATED FLOODPLAIN AND RESTORE 3,300 LINEAR FEET OF WILLOW CREEK BY INCORPORATING BOULDER RIFFLES, ENGINEERED LOG JAMS, AND OTHER STRUCTURES WITHIN THE STREAM CHANNEL, STABILIZING EROSIVE STREAMBANKS, AND REGRADING AND REPLANTING THE FLOODPLAIN. STREAM AND FLOODPLAIN RESTORATION WILL ESTABLISH IMPROVED AQUATIC AND RIPARIAN CONNECTIVITY AND HABITAT, IMPROVE WATER TEMPERATURE AND SEDIMENT TRANSPORT CAPACITY, PROTECT CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE, AND INCREASE THE OVERALL RESILIENCE OF THE WATERSHED. THE PROJECT WAS DEVELOPED AS PART OF THE COMPREHENSIVE WILLOW CREEK WATERSHED PLANNING PROJECT, THIS PROJECT IS SUPPORTED BY THE CITYOF CREEDE, MINERAL COUNTY, AND REGIONAL WATERSHED AND CONSERVATION ORGANIZATIONS.

RARITAN HEADWATERS ASSOCIATION WILL REMOVE ROCKAFELLOWS MILL DAM ON THE SOUTH BRANCH RARITAN RIVER TO OPEN ACCESS TO HABITAT FOR AMERICAN SHAD, RIVER HERRING, AND OTHER MIGRATORY FISH. THEY WILL ALSO RESTORE NEARBY FLOODPLAIN AND STREAMSIDE HABITATS. REMOVAL OF THE DAM WILL ELIMINATE A SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC SAFETY HAZARD, IMPROVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR RECREATION, AND REDUCE THE RISK OF FLOODING IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.

ABANDONED MINE DRAINAGE (AMD) FROM THE OTTO COLLIERY AIRSHAFT DISCHARGE (OTTO DISCHARGE) IS ONE OF THE LARGESTSOURCES IN THE SCHUYLKILL RIVER WATERSHED. THE DISCHARGE CONTRIBUTES THE MAJORITY OF STREAMFLOW TO THE MUDDYBRANCH AT THEIR CONFLUENCE. THE MUDDY BRACH FLOWS FROM THE WESTERN BOUNDARY OF THE WATERSHED TO THE WEST WESTBRANCH OF THE SCHUYLKILL RIVER WHICH THEN JOINS THE WEST BRANCH SCHUYLKILL RIVER. BECAUSE OF METAL LOADING FROMTHE OTTO DISCHARGE AND OTHER AMD SOURCES, THE ENTIRE WEST BRANCH OF THE SCHUYLKILL RIVER IS DESIGNATED IMPAIREDON THE PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS 303(D) LIST OF IMPAIRED WATERWAYS. AN ASSESSMENT,COMPLETED IN 2000, THAT FOCUSED ON NONPOINT SOURCE POLLUTION IN THE UPPER SCHUYLKILL WATERSHED, RANKED THE OTTODISCHARGE AS ONE OF THE MOST SEVERE IN THE WATERSHED DUE TO ITS HIGH FLOW AND IRON CONCENTRATIONS AND RECOMMENDEDTHAT ITS REMEDIATION BE GIVEN HIGH PRIORITY.IN SEPTEMBER 2005, AN AMD TREATMENT SYSTEM WAS COMPLETED NEAR THE DISCHARGE LOCATION ADJACENT TO THE COMMUNITYBALLFIELD IN THE VILLAGE OF BRANCHDALE. THIS SYSTEM CONSISTS OF A DIVERSION STRUCTURE, SMALL AERATED CHANNEL,OXIDATION POND, TWO AEROBIC WETLAND CELLS, AND AN OXIC LIMESTONE DRAIN. THIS PROJECT WAS FUNDED BY A US EPA 319GRANT AS AN EARLY ATTEMPT AT AMD REMEDIATION.THIS SYSTEM HAS NOW BEEN IN OPERATION FOR APPROXIMATELY 11 YEARS AND A COMBINATION OF VEGETATIVE GROWTH AND IRONSEDIMENT HAS CAUSED THE AEROBIC WETLAND CELLS TO REACH THEIR CAPACITY. THIS SEDIMENT AND GROWTH IS CAUSING SOMEOVERFLOW IN UNINTENDED AREAS WHICH COULD ULTIMATELY LEAD TO A FAILURE OF A POND BERM IF THIS IS NOT RESOLVED.CLEANING OF THE SYSTEM WILL BE THE FIRST PRIORITY OF THIS CONSTRUCTION GRANT AND COULD BE COMPLETED AS A SEPARATECONTRACT PRIOR TO THE CONTRACT TO CONDUCT MORE EXTENSIVE REVISIONS TO THE SYSTEM.ORIGINALLY THE SYSTEM HAD AN INFLUENT IN-LINE HYDRAULIC AERATION SYSTEM PROPOSED WHICH CONSISTED OF VENTURINOZZLES BUT THIS DEVICE WAS ELIMINATED DUE TO OVERALL PROJECT COST BEFORE IT COULD BE CONSTRUCTED. THIS LEFT THESYSTEM WITH VERY LITTLE ABILITY FOR AERATION EVEN THOUGH THERE IS AN APPROXIMATE 20-FOOT GRADE DIFFERENCE FROMTHE DISCHARGE TO THE SEDIMENTATION POND. ALSO REMOVED FOR COST SAVINGS WAS A FLUSHING SYSTEM IN THE OXICLIMESTONE DRAIN, THIS LEAD TO THE CLOGGING OF THE DRAIN WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF OPERATION. THE OMISSIONOF THE INFLUENT AERATION HAD THE MOST IMPACT ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS TREATMENT SYSTEM AS REPORTED INPASSIVE AEROBIC TREATMENT OF NET-ALKALINE, IRON-LADEN DRAINAGE FROM A FLOODED UNDERGROUND ANTHRACITE MINE,PENNSYLVANIA, USA (CHARLES A. CRAVOTTA III, AUGUST 2007) DOCUMENTING THE EXISTING SYSTEM REMOVED LESS THAN 35 OF THE IRON, AND FAILED TO DRIVE OFF THE DISSOLVED CO2, AND INCREASE THE PH.THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL BE TO CLEAN-OUT THE EXISTING SYSTEM OF ACCUMULATED IRON SEDIMENT AND VEGETATIVE MATTER,CONSTRUCT A MORE EFFECTIVE, AND MAINTENANCE FRIENDLY TREATMENT SYSTEM BASED ON PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE AT THIS SITE,SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT DEVICES AT OTHER TREATMENT LOCATIONS, AND THE CHEMICAL NEEDS OF THIS PARTICULAR DISCHARGE.THIS WILL BE ACHIEVED THROUGH THE MODIFICATION OF THE EXISTING POND LAYOUT, THE ADDITION OF CURB AERATORS BETWEENPONDS, THE ADDITION OF A DISTRIBUTION POND AND DRAIN PIPING, AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF CURB AERATORS IN THE STREAMCHANNEL ABOVE THE INFLUENT DIVERSION STRUCTURE. THEREFORE, THIS PROJECT WILL MORE EFFECTIVELY REDUCE AMDLOADINGS FROM THE OTTO DISCHARGE TO THE MUDDY BRANCH BY USING MORE EFFECTIVE AERATION DEVICES SETTLING FOR THISAMD TREATMENT SYSTEM.

THE USE OF TRANSPORTATION STRUCTURES AS BAT ROOSTS IN THE SOUTHEAST HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY DOCUMENTED IN RECENT YEARS. AS A RESULT THE MS ESFO DEVELOPED AND BEGAN IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BATS AND BRIDGES AND CULVERTS INITIATIVE IN APRIL 2021. OVER 600 BRIDGES AND CULVERTS IN 32 COUNTIES THROUGHOUT MISSISSIPPI HAVE BEEN SURVEYED SO FAR FOR BAT USAGE. DURING THIS SURVEY EFFORT A BRIDGE WAS LOCATED IN TISHOMINGO COUNTY THAT CONTAINED GRAY BATS MYOTIS GRISESCENS AND INDIANA BATS M. SODALIS. THIS IS THE FIRST BRIDGE ROOST AND ONLY THE FOURTH AND THIRD RECORD RESPECTIVELY FOR THESE SPECIES IN THE STATE. PRIOR TO AUGUST 2023 A TOTAL OF THREE OCCURRENCE RECORDS FOR THE NORTHERN LONGEARED BAT MYOTIS SEPTENTRIONALIS HAD BEEN DOCUMENTED IN MISSISSIPPI WITH THE FIRST RECORD FOUND IN 1939. AS PART OF THE INITIATIVE 32 NEW NORTHERN LONGEARED ROOSTS HAVE BEEN LOCATED IN 29 CULVERTS AND THREE BRIDGES IN SIX COUNTIES. SURVEYS OF TRANSPORTATION STRUCTURES HAS SUBSTANTIALLY ADDED TO OUR RECORDS AND KNOWLEDGE OF FEDERALLY LISTED BAT SPECIES IN MISSISSIPPI.AS PART OF THE INITIATIVE MANY NEW ROOSTS FOR THE PROPOSED TRICOLORED BAT PERIMYOTIS SUBFLAVUS HAVE ALSO BEEN LOCATED IN CULVERTS AND BRIDGES. THE MISSISSIPPI DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE FISHERIES AND PARKS MONITORS KNOWN CULVERT ROOSTS EVERY WINTER FOR THE TRICOLORED BAT HOWEVER SURVEYS DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR ARE LIMITED AND THEREFORE OUR KNOWLEDGE REGARDING TRICOLORED BAT ROOSTING IN NONWINTER MONTHS IS LACKING.ADDITIONAL RESEARCH IS NEEDED TO LOCATE NEW ROOSTS FOR ALL FOUR OF THESE SPECIES. RESEARCH IS ALSO NEEDED TO ASCERTAIN MORE SPECIFIC DATES FOR PUP REARING ACTIVITIES IN MISSISSIPPI TO ENSURE THAT THE TAKE OF PUPS DOES NOT OCCUR DURING BRIDGE AND CULVERT REPAIR PROJECTS OR PROJECTS INVOLVING TREE CLEARING. THE MISSISSIPPI DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SUBMITS OVER 50 BRIDGE AND CULVERT MAINTENANCE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT PROJECTS PER YEAR TO THE MS ESFO FOR SECTION 7 CONSULTATION. THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL HAVE DIRECT BENEFITS FOR INFORMING THOSE CONSULTATIONS AND WILL PROVIDE DATA NEEDED TO CREATE RELEVANT MITIGATION AND AVOIDANCE MEASURES. IN ADDITION THE DISCOVERY OF NEW ROOST SITES WILL HAVE IMPORTANT IMPLICATIONS FOR CONSERVATION EFFORTS FOR THESE SPECIES.

FUNDS FROM THIS PROJECT WILL ENHANCE 717 ACRES, INCLUDING 353 ACRES OF SEASONALLY FLOODED WET MEADOWS AND PLAYA-LIKE WETLAND HABITAT, IN SAGUACHE COUNTY, CO. ENHANCEMENT WILL INCLUDE THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLMENT OF WATER LEVEL MANAGEMENT INFRASTRUCTURE TO EXTEND SEASONAL WETLANDS, INCREASE NESTING HABITAT FOR WATERFOWL, AND PROTECT RARE PLAYA-LIKE HABITAT.
