Army corps, engineers, trout streams
The Army Corps of Engineers is the agent of land and waters resource projects. Its mission is to manage and conserve all the natural resources in consistency with the ecosystem management principles. It provides quality public outdoor recreational experience in order to serve the present and future generations. The US Army corps in collaboration with the Environmental Protection Agency announced a new proposed rule to ensure the protection of streams that harbor a large number of trout. The new rules, though, do not apply to new types of waters, rather it is consistent with the Clean Water Act provisions and the supreme court directions on the jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act.
The new rule preserves the exemptions of the Clean Water Act and the exclusions for agricultural practices. The specific agricultural practices that protect or improve water quality are not subject to these laws. The health of water ecosystem, rivers, lakes, coastal waters and bays depend entirely on streams and the wetlands where they begin. Streams bring a number of benefits to the communities. They trap floodwaters, remove pollution and most importantly, provide a good habitat for fish and wildlife. The role of fishing in growing the economy is clearly defined. Although 60 percent of the streams in the United States flow seasonally, their impact on downstream water quality and the aquatic life is massive. The Army Corps of Engineers have launched on an awareness program to ensure the enforcement of the new rules (David, 2014).

[...] Therefore, the stream deepens while they create habitat value of along the structure edges. Also, these structures provide bank stability and help in moving the flow away from the bank of the stream. They also construct low Flow Channel structures that reduce the speed of the stream water. It is important since it helps in tapping the food materials consumed by the fish. They also help in centering the flows into the channel while they provide plunge pool habitat for the species. Downstream of the Corps also construct wings and water jacks. [...]
[...] Relocation is important because it restores the historical water tables of these streams. New projects are now constructed in the former streams to fit the design that they want. These 5 THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS AND THEIR IMPORTANCE TO TROUT STREAMS activities are important since they allow conservation of future loss of the water resources. It also generates extra credits in conservation of the water environment. The Army Corps also play an important role in the calculation of the impacts of new projects, potential projects and finished projects. [...]
