Description
This project will address CDFW recovery priorities on Chamberlain Creek in the Big River watershed by designing a remedy for a fish passage barrier posed by a corrugated metal pipe that partially prevents adult, juvenile coho, and lamprey passage to 1.6 miles of suitable upstream habitat. The project will design a new stream crossing that will meet fish passage, hydraulic capacity, and debris load requirements. Project partners will evaluate the instream habitat throughout the project as part of scoping and feasibility studies.
Project Benefit
The primary expected benefit of this design proposal is year-round passage for adult and juvenile coho to 1.6 miles of suitable upstream habitat. As additional benefits, the design will ensure hydraulic capacity and meet debris load requirements. Funding Details |

| Fisheries Biologist will evaluate the current instream habitat for salmonids and lamprey throughout the project reach using the CDFW Protocols for Level II riffle, pool and flatwater methodology for the survey. Additionally, snorkel surveys will be conducted to identify the salmonid and other aquatic vertebrate species present and the habitats they are utilizing, to evaluate habitat suitability for the design considerations. |

| Description and scope of the plan implemented | |
| Chamberlain Creek is a tributary to the North Fork Big River and is identified as a core recovery area in the National Marine Fisheries Services' Recovery Plan for Evolutionarily Significant Unit of Central California Coast Coho Salmon (2012). The objective of this project is to develop designs to improve passage to coho salmon and Pacific lamprey at a single at a poorly constructed and aging road-stream crossing (culvert). This migration barrier has been identified as a temporal adult barrier and a total juvenile barrier at low flow conditions on Chamberlain Creek, a tributary to North Fork Big River. |
