Key activities include removing instream barriers to enable...
- This $620,300 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Fish Passage Program (CFDA 15.685) supports a project to remove a pair of culverts in Chimacum Creek, Washington. The project aims to re-establish access to 2.59 miles of significant upstream habitat for coho, fall chum, steelhead trout, and other anadromous fish species. The existing culverts have a Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife passability rating of only 33%, limiting access to the upper...
- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, through its National Fish Passage Program (CFDA 15.685), awarded a $200,000 Cooperative Agreement to the Conservation Resource Alliance (CRA) to restore a road-stream crossing on Deer Creek. The project will replace a 7-foot diameter culvert with a 33-foot span timber bridge, reconnecting 5 miles of upstream channel to over 4 miles downstream. This will halt the annual input of up to 15 tons of sediment from road runoff entering Deer Creek, improving stream...
This $260,000 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service under the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program (CFDA 15.631) will fund the removal and replacement of an undersized culvert on Little Grass Valley Creek in Weaverville, California. The new 13x10 elliptical culvert will provide full, unimpeded fish passage for anadromous species like coho salmon, steelhead, and Pacific lamprey to access five miles of cold water spawning and rearing habitat. The project will also improve the overall hydrologic and geomorphic functionality of the stream crossing, reducing the risk of erosion or catastrophic events. The Northwest California Resource Conservation & Development Council, a non-profit organization, will lead this multi-year habitat restoration effort in collaboration with the California State Coastal Conservancy and the Fish and Wildlife Service's Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program.
