Description

The Project has successfully remedied an existing barrier to steelhead migration on a tributary to the Carmel River by decommissioning (removing) an undersized, corroded 100-foot long, 54-inch diameter steel pipe road culvert in Potrero Creek and replace it with a 1210 span by 84 rise multiplate arched culvert designed to improve fish passage conditions, improve flood conveyance and provide safe vehicle access across Potrero Creek. All FY18 PCSRF funds were spent within the award period.

Project Benefit

This project will remediate a high priority steelhead migration barrier improving access into high quality perennial spawning and rearing habitat.
