1 Roaring River Conservation Opportunity Area The Roaring River Conservation Opportunity Area (COA) contains three of the thirteen State Scenic Rivers in Tennessee: Blackburn Fork State Scenic River, Roaring River State Scenic River, and Spring Creek State Scenic River. These scenic rivers all flow from headwater streams on the Highland Rim before dropping into the Nashville basin to the west and converging with the Cumberland River. This high gradient drop in elevation renders these rivers prone to flood events. Several state species of Greatest Conservation Need (GCN) and federally endangered mussels occur within this COA. Many of the riparian areas along tributary streams within the COA are used for agriculture -- both row crops and pasture. Hellbenders have been documented in this conservation opportunity area, but populations of this species are almost certainly in decline. Multiple species of mussels and GCN species of fish are located within the numerous streams and rivers; these include the Redlips Darter, Rosyface Shiner, Cumberland Moccasinshell and Painted Creekshell Mussels. Three of Tennessee s 13 State Scenic Rivers flow from headwater streams on the Highland Rim before dropping into the Nashville basin. Opportunities to improve riparian buffers exist on the State Scenic Rivers, at the confluence with the Cumberland River, and other smaller tributaries. Improving water quality, and specifically reducing sedimentation, is essential for the persistence of several sensitive aquatic species and is the primary objective of this COA. The occurrence of small dams within the COA decreases connectivity of the river and eliminates movement of animals both upstream and downstream.

2 Roaring River Reelfoot Lake Conservation Opportunity Area Conservation Opportunity Area Partnerships TWRA will partner with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tennessee Dept. of Environment and Conservation, The Nature Conservancy, and watershed groups to remove low head dams and other artificial barriers from Cumberland River tributaries. Dam removal from State Scenic Rivers will help fulfill the intent of the Tennessee Scenic Rivers Act of 1968 to reclaim Tennessee s diminishing resource of free-flowing rivers. Partnerships will also be developed with willing private land owners to restore and improve riparian buffers and water quality. _ Desired Change Use government funded incentive programs to encourage willing private landowners to restore critical land units and protect aquatic resources. Restore pasture or other agricultural lands to appropriate ecological systems. Improve knowledge of the geographical distribution of GCN species and/or habitat changes through scienti!c surveys. Restore in-stream "ows to impounded streams within critical units of aquatic habitat. Increase acres under permanent conservation management in critical units of habitat. Remove lowhead dams and other obstructions to reclaim free-"owing waters. Units numbers acres projects miles acres structures To learn more about the Roaring River Conservation Opportunity Area, please contact: Chris Simpson, Wildlife Diversity Coordinator, Region 3 (931)
