This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service under the National Fish Passage Program (CFDA 15.685) provides $268,500 to Trout Unlimited, Inc. to finalize engineering designs and implementation plans to replace an undersized concrete box culvert on Strawberry Creek in McKinleyville, CA. The existing structure is a complete barrier to upstream fish passage for ESA-listed coho salmon and steelhead trout, as well as coastal cutthroat trout and Pacific lamprey. The project will fund required geotechnical investigations and the development of 100% engineered design plans to replace the structure with a properly sized, natural stream-bottom arched culvert that will restore full, unimpeded fish passage and proper hydrologic and geomorphic functioning during 100-year flood events. Trout Unlimited will serve as the prime recipient and project manager, with GHD providing lead engineering services, Michael Love Associates supporting hydraulics analysis, and Crawford Associates completing the geotechnical work. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will provide substantial involvement through project coordination, planning, design review, and data collection support.
