Survey UPDATE-TOK1

Project Supervisor: Gillian O'Doherty, ADFG
Observers: Andrew Kastning

Overall Fish Passage Rating: Gray

Tidal: No
Backwatered: No

Step Pools: No
Construction Year:


Site Observations:

  1. Inlet perch

Comments: Assessment conducted by Copper River Watershed Project. Large amount of road fill, did not survey up and over. Upstream and downstream longitudinal profiles are not connected by a common benchmark and should only be used to assess featured above and below the culvert exclusive of each other.
