HRE designated an Estuary of National Significance in 1987 USACE Authorization: 25 Mile Radius from the Statue Of Liberty in 1999 CRP released in 2009 and serve as Master Plan for identifying regional needs and opportunities across al authorities 11 Target Ecosystem Characteristics (TECS) and 8 sub-regions adopted by HEP as the Master Plan for Habitat restoration. CRP Work Group provides technical guidance

Enhance the health and connectivity of tributaries to estuary ~1600 miles of Streams ID Impediments/Degradations and opportunities for restoration Sub-Work Group from CRP Workgroup formed to provide technical guidance to one aspect: Physical barriers to fish migration and spawning ability.

Watershed Impacts

EPA Storet: EPA's repository of water quality monitoring data collected nationwide by water resource management groups. USGS Stream Gage: Continuously recorded physical and chemical characteristics. EPA 303 (d): Impaired waters data lists water ways too polluted or otherwise degraded to meet the state water quality standards. DEP Known Contaminated Sites: Sites where contamination of soil or ground water has been confirmed at levels equal to or greater than applicable standards. USACE National Inventory of Levees State and Local CSO inventories USGS Land Cover and Land Use : Data activities range spatially and temporally, from local to global scales and includes historical, current and future timeframes. USFWS National Wetlands Inventory: Provides current geospatially referenced information on the status, extent, characteristics, and functions of wetland, riparian, deepwater, and related aquatic habitats in priority areas.

Next Steps – Migratory Barriers Complete merge of barrier databases to achieve a comprehensive list of dams, levees and culverts within the HRE Study Area. Develop a scalable algorithm to identify the most relevant fish passage restoration opportunities amongst this comprehensive list. Based on habitat, biological (eg. life history needs, potential behavioral issues, swimming performance), structural and landscape attributes- Can be built upon (if further funding and data become available in the future)

Next Steps - HRE Final CRP updated/expanded restoration Opportunities Master Plan to guide regional Planning Across all authorities/programs restoration, preservation and mitigation Draft Feasibility Report Recommended Opportunities for Corps Implementation Subject to NAD/HQ and Agency/Public Review Final Feasibility Report. Goes to Congress for programmatic Authorization Specific Restorations implemented as Sponsors/Funds allow )
