Observers: Gillian O'Doherty, Kim Clark, Michael Mazzacavallo

Overall Fish Passage Rating: Gray

Tidal: No
Backwatered: No

Step Pools: No
Construction Year:


Site Observations:

  1. Constriction ratio gray

Comments: Culvert is creating backwater on inlet side. Straw wattles left at inlet and outlet after construction. One culvert is present between this one and lake outlet upstream-s under an ATV trail. Dense grass is present. Some ATV/snow machine traffic use adjacent to the stream near/at outlet. Silt fence is up between the creek and Carousel Way. Possibly undersized. Not much of a defined channel above or below. Ordinary High Water measurements taken upstream where the channel had some definition.
