This Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Geographic Programs - Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (CFDA 66.469), will fund the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to restore natural channels on Buckingham Creek, a brook trout stream in Duluth, Minnesota. Specifically, the $990,000 grant will be used to restore approximately 3,500 feet of stream, re-establish 4,500 feet of connectivity, and replace five undersized culverts that are barriers to fish migration. These activities are intended to enhance brook trout shore angling opportunities within a city park and along Buckingham Creek and Upper Twin Ponds, thereby benefiting the citizens of Duluth and the taxpayers of Minnesota. The project will be implemented in collaboration with the City of Duluth and the South St. Louis Soil and Water Conservation District. No sub-awards are included in this assistance agreement.
