Survey UPDATE-OWR02

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

Overall Fish Passage Rating: Green

Tidal: No
Backwatered: No

Step Pools: No
Construction Year: 2014


Site Observations:

  1. Culvert is poorly aligned

Comments: ***Updated photos added from 9/7/16 site visit from Sampling Unmapped Streams in the MSB project. Pike found upstream and downstream of culvert.Fish sampling informaiton entered into AFFI. *** Replaced in 2014, resurveyed Oct 21, 2015. Channel is lower at outlet than designed. Downstream root wads installed high with rock in front and back. Gaps between root wads upstream and willow brush layers looked to have failed to establish. Some aggradation at inlet, mostly rip rap. Erosion control at inlet too small and not angular, falling into pipe. Ditch armoring encroaches on about a third of the channel at inlet. **Updated photos and fish sampling information added from 9/7/16 site visit from Sampling Unmapped Streams in the MSB project. Pike found upstream and downstream of culvert.
