COLD-WATER FISHERY OBJECTIVES: ISSUES

Assessment/Data Collection

  • On opportunities to reduce impact of Grandy’s Pond on water temperatures and quality, and fish habitat
  • On susceptibility to bank erosion at Grandy’s Pond during extreme flows
  • On opportunities to expand the Cedarbrook trout fishery to Central Mill Creek from Shade’s Mills to the source of significant groundwater discharge above Grandy’s Pond
  • On opportunities to improve water temperatures, water quality and fish habitat below Shade’s Mills Dam
  • On fish barriers in the urban channelized and pressurized culvert sections
  • On the number and location of stormwater outlets and their impact
  • On the number and location of catch basins and other possible contaminant sources
  • On the Cedarbrook Tributary and the isolated trout fishery
