| Description
A
60-inch steel culvert was too high and steep to allow fish
to travel through the roadway. A new eight foot diameter
culvert with weirs fitted inside and 12 log weirs were installed
to provide passage for adult and juvenile fish. Spawning
Chum and Coho salmon immediately used this project.
