Survey UPDATE-POT01

Project Supervisor: Gillian O'Doherty, ADFG
Observers: Gillian O'Doherty, Ben Histand, Heidi Zimmer

Overall Fish Passage Rating: Red

Tidal: No
Backwatered: No

Step Pools: No
Construction Year:


Site Observations:

  1. Culvert gradient red
  2. Outfall height red
  3. Constriction ratio red
  4. Compound gradient in pipe
  5. Mechanical damage or joints parting

Comments: Fish carcasses observed below culvert, probably pinks. Large rocks in pipe 2 create hydraulic jump.
