Survey UPDATE-BEL6

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

Overall Fish Passage Rating: Gray

Tidal: No
Backwatered: No

Step Pools: No
Construction Year:


Site Observations:

  1. Culvert is poorly aligned
  2. Structural Problem
  3. Mechanical damage or joints parting

Comments: Culvert starting to fail and road fill is starting to erode into stream. The culvert headwall also showing signs od degradation. At current flows and condition the culvert does not appear to be a barrier, but that might change quickly.

Comments: Culvert has structural issues and a large portion of the culvert has failed and is dumping road fill into creek. Culvert does have substrate throughout barrel and does not look to be a barrier at time of visit, but site conditions could change quickly depending on culvert integrity. Culvert gradient looks to be similar to stream at about 4%.
