11 PROJECT GOALS To establish a healthy, self-sustaining river and wetland ecosystem that supports fish, other aquatic organisms, and wildlife To increase coastal resiliency by removing blockages and creating connectivity of floodplain To increase recreational and educational opportunities for people of all ages to discover the environmental, land use, and cultural history surrounding the Coonamessett River
12 Stressors Compromised river channel (straight, wide, sandy bottom with no structure, no shade) Poor habitat for reproduction (blueback herring, trout) Poor habitat for successful migration (predation pressure) Temperature Filled in wetlands (100+ years of sand) Blockages to floodplain connectivity and migration
13 PHASE 2 DESIGN 2017 PERMIT 2017/2018 CONSTRUCT PHASE
14 Restoration Actions Remove accumulated sand Add LWD: -more sinuous: more rapid flow -Curves provide overhangs for shelter Add buffer plantings Tie into cold water springs Remove barriers to floodplain continuity (along length; accessing side springs and seeps) 1. Remove dams (lower, middle) 2. Replace deteriorating pipe culvert with MA approved stream crossing Culvert at John Parker Road

22 Anticipated Benefits Fish access to 2.2 miles of free-flowing river and 158 acres of spawning habitat in Coonamessett Pond, and restored river channel to improve habitat for other aquatic life (turtles, frogs, insects, etc.) Enhanced coastal resiliency (flood storage, nutrient reduction, rapid recovery after disturbances) by virtue of restoring floodplain connectivity and wetland biodiversity (58 acres of bog restored to natural wetland) Improved access for recreation (walking, birdwatching, wildlife observation) and New opportunities to learn about the river s environmental, industrial, and cultural history
