To restore river herring (Blueback Herring and Alewife) in the Mystic River
watershed, Woburn will design and construct improved fish passage at the Horn
Pond outlet, including a 14-ft wide gravel road to facilitate maintenance of the
passageway and dam, electrical and instrumentation conduits to the dam, a viewing
station for camera recording and public observation, and downstream
improvements. With these upgrades, up to 500,000 herring will reach Horn Pond
each year. After years of decline, the Mystic hosts one of the state’s largest fish
runs, due to improved passage from new dams and fish ladders in Upper Mystic
Lake in Medford (2012) and at Center Falls Dam in Winchester (2017). Passing the
Center Falls Dams, the population is estimated to range from 89,000 (2017 by De
Maximis, Inc) to nearly 500,000 (in 2015 by Mystic River Watershed Association
[MyRWA], an increase of 100% over 3 years). The river herring migrate upstream to
the 102-ac Horn Pond in Woburn via Horn Pond Brook, tributary to the Aberjona
River, where an existing fishway provides difficult access; only 25,000 entered the
pond last year. Following a 2018 site visit by Woburn, MA Division of Marine
Fisheries (DMF), and US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), conceptual designs of
alternative for fish passage were developed (attached). Preliminary cost estimates
range from $350K-$500K for a nature-like roughened channel (Alt 1), $200K-$400K
for a nature-like pool/weir passage (Alt 2), and $400K-$800K for a Denil fish ladder
(Alt 3) and include the road, viewing station and stream improvements. Woburn will
analyze passage alternatives; evaluate site conditions; develop engineering design
plans and construction manual; prepare permit applications; construct the facilities;
oversee construction; and develop an operation and maintenance manual. The City
will coordinate with DMF, USFWS, and NOAA to ensure that best practices are

NOTES:
1. THE INTENT OF THIS SHEET IS TO DISPLAY CONCEPTUAL FISHWAY DESIGNS THAT WOULD HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF
PASSING THE TARGET SPECIES (RIVER HERRING) FROM HORN POND BROOK INTO HORN POND. THE PRESENTED LAYOUTS
DEMONSTRATE THE ESTIMATED FOOTPRINT REQUIRED TO FIT THE SPECIFIC TECHNOLOGY TO THE SITE.
2. ALTERNATIVES #1 THROUGH #3 REPRESENT THREE DIFFERENT FISHWAY DESIGN OPTIONS. ALTERNATIVE #1 IS A
NATURE-LIKE DESIGN WHICH IS COMPOSED OF A FIXED SLOPE, ROUGHENED CHANNEL. ALTERNATIVE #2 IS A NATURE-LIKE
DESIGN THAT INCORPORATES POOLS AND WEIRS, AND ALTERNATIVE #3 IS A COMMON TECHNICAL FISHWAY (DENIL).
3. ALL THREE ALTERNATIVES WERE DEVELOPED ABSENT OF ANY HYDRAULICS AND HYDROLOGIC ANALYSES. THE TOTAL
AMOUNT OF HEAD (DIFFERENCE IN WATER SURFACE ELEVATION BETWEEN THE TAILWATER AND HEADPOND) WAS
ASSUMED TO BE 8.0 ft. A 10 ft CHANNEL WIDTH FOR THE NATURE-LIKE DESIGNS WAS ASSUMED TO HAVE THE CAPACITY
TO PASS THE FULL RANGE OF FUTURE FISH PASSAGE DESIGN FLOWS.
4. THE SLOPES VARY BETWEEN ALTERNATIVES. ALTERNATIVE #1 HAS THE SHALLOWEST SLOPE AT 2%, ALTERNATIVE #2 HAS
AN ASSOCIATED 5% SLOPE BASED ON A DROP PER WEIR OF 0.75 ft AND 15 ft LONG POOLS, AND ALTERNATIVE #3 HAS BEEN
DRAWN AT A 12.5% SLOPE (MAXIMUM SLOPE FOR A DENIL FISHWAY). THE FISHWAY LENGTHS VARY DUE TO THE
DIFFERING SLOPES. ALTERNATIVE #1 WOULD REQUIRE APPROXIMATELY 400 ft OF LINEAR LENGTH, ALTERNATIVE #2 IS
ESTIMATED TO NEED 180 ft, AND ALTERNATIVE #3 WOULD REQUIRE THE LEAST AMOUNT OF LENGTH AT ROUGHLY 80 ft.
5. A GUIDANCE WALL/BARRIER HAS BEEN INTEGRATED IN ORDER TO ENSURE AS MANY UPSTREAM MIGRATING FISH AS
POSSIBLE ENTER THE FISHWAY RATHER THAN GETTING ATTRACTED TO THE SPILLWAY FLOW. THIS FEATURE IS
RECOMMENDED FOR ALL THREE ALTERNATIVES.
6. NOTE THAT THE WEIRS INCORPORATED IN ALTERNATIVE #2
DO NOT HAVE TO CONSIST OF NATURAL MATERIAL
(e.g.,STONE) BUT COULD BE CONSTRUCTED WITH CONCRETE.
