This is the "Douglas Flood Rock,” which has been used to document floods near Otter Creek in Pittsford, Vermont, since 1811. Local engravers in the area mark the flood rock at the highest water level after every big flood event. Locally called “Flood Rock,” this marble ledge is listed in the Pittsford Second Sentry Historical Book.

Two 4-foot wide baffled chute fishways are tested side-by-side in the Conte Lab's Fish Passage Complex's east flume. The fish ladders are instrumented with passive integrated transponder antennas/reader. River herring, collected from the mouth of the Chicopee River are tested to assess entry and ascent rates.
