Survey Date: Sep 14, 2011

Survey MSB11-SRC01

Project Supervisor: Gillian O'Doherty, Alaska Department of Fish and Game — Anchorage, AK
Observers: Abraham Gioffre, Jim Latham

Overall Fish Passage Rating: Gray

Tidal: No
Backwatered: No

Step Pools: No
Construction Year:


Site Observations:

  1. Culvert gradient gray
  2. Culvert is too short
  3. Culvert is poorly aligned
  4. Mechanical damage or joints parting

Comments: upst area relatively steep and the dwst channel is relatively narrow and then splits about 100' dwst. Pipe has a slight bend near the outlet so length was measured with a tape.
