Description
Severe erosion is causing increased sedimentation and nutrient loading in the reservoir while also degrading littoral zone fish habitat. The berks county conservation district (bccd), partnered with the pennsylvania fish and boat commission (pfbc) and the united states army corps of engineers (USACE), will install 600 feet of saw-toothed deflectors to protect from further erosion, increase complex littoral zone cover, and provide spawning and ambush habitat for multiple fish species. Partners will also address a lack of quality spawning habitat for panfish and other species at the 5-foot winter draw down contour using concrete and rock rubble reefs. The project will serve as a educational opportunity for visitors (bikers, hikers, horseback riders, school groups) on the importance of providing wildlife habitat and maintenance of water quality in a public use setting.
