Survey UPDATE-1532

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

Overall Fish Passage Rating: Green

Tidal: No
Backwatered: Yes

Step Pools: No
Construction Year:


Site Observations:

  1. Culvert gradient red
  2. Beaver Activity

Comments: Cataloged anadromy currently ends at crossing. Site is currently backwatered by a beaver dam downstream and is most likely not a barrier at current flows. Culvert has been replaced since 2002 survey.
