FY 2019 Hoh Reservation Fish Barrier Culvert Design (Rescoped project to replace FY 2019 Invasive Species Treatment and Removal)

A recent survey of culverts on the Hoh Reservation identified two culverts that are barriers to fish passage. These culverts are located on Chalaat Creek, a tributary to the Hoh River. Chalaat Creek has traditionally supported steelhead and coho. This project will initiate the designs for two culvert replacements, situated less than a mile apart, the work will result in final designs that will be implementable.

Final designs will aid in future grant funding for replacement of the identified culverts, opening functional habitat for spawning, incubation, and rearing for steelhead and coho.
