Survey UPD21-OLD01

Project Supervisor: Kim Clark, ADFG — Anchorage, AK
Observers: Kim Clark, Michael Mazzacavallo

Overall Fish Passage Rating: Green

Tidal: No
Backwatered: No

Step Pools: Yes
Construction Year: 2014


Comments: Storm drain outfall embedded in headwall, wider channel at outlet created to accommodate this. Willow stakes at inlet doing well. Bar forming on right bank inside culvert. There is an island upstream of the culvert- potentially evidence of sedimentation upstream from previous culvert. Island top and bottom measurements were included in long.pro
