A construction operation in west Knoxville, Tennessee required alteration and rerouting of several small spring fed streams into one new stream. These streams historically provided habitat for a rare, spring endemic cyprinid species, the flame chub (Hemitremia flamea). Various enhancements have been done to the newly constructed stream to improve its suitability for flame chubs. Riffles, aquatic macrophytes and bed stabilizing river rock were added to reaches of the new stream. Some reaches were left unenhanced. Surveys are to be conducted within enhanced and unenhanced reaches of the new stream and compared to a reference stream, which supports a natural flame chub assemblage. The new stream will be evaluated to assess its ability to support flame chubs. Utilization of the enhanced and unenhanced reaches by the flame chubs will also be examined.
