Last spring, a stream in the George Washington National Forest had become so damaged by acid rain that the water killed 500 stocked rainbow trout.
By this coming spring, Cedar Creek, located six miles northwest of Woodstock, may be restored to once again support the trout.
Changes in the stream could come from a research project by the USD A Forest Service, James Madison University and the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.
“We’re hoping we can use lime. stone in a limited way to counteract the negative effects of acid rain,” ' said Richard Standage, a Forest Service fisheries biologist.
During the February experiment, 30 tons of limestone will be placed in the upper part of the creek to study how limestone might be used to improve water quality in • streams and rivers which are becoming acidic.
The creek will also be monitored
