Survey UPDATE-1051

Project Supervisor: Gillian O'Doherty, ADFG
Observers: Mark Eisenman, Franklin Dekker

Overall Fish Passage Rating: Red

Tidal: No
Backwatered: No

Step Pools: No
Construction Year:


Site Observations:

  1. Outfall height red
  2. Structural Problem
  3. Mechanical damage or joints parting
  4. Compound gradient in pipe
  5. Inlet perch
  6. Culvert is too short

Comments: Site visit 8/23/18 to assess current site conditions. Downstream fish passage structure has completely failed and has deteriorated and completely filled in. Culvert outlet has corroded away creating a perch at outlet and there is a significant amount of debris inside the culvert. Site rating changed to Red. Road has been widened since 2004 survey and there is a significant amount of road gravel in the downstream channel. Section of culvert at inlet has separated and can be seen in photos inside the culvert. Cloudy Lake directly upstream. Swimming hole upstream from inlet. Full assessment not done, but 2004 assessment showed Red Gradient for site.
