Lindsay Creek Coho Barrier Removal Project

The objective of this proposal is to implement the 100% engineering designs completed per CDFW FRGP Grant # P1710519. Implementing the completed designs will remediate 2 barriers to salmonid passage, including coho salmon, by upgrading 2 separate culverted stream crossings, both located on a privately owned parcel; one on the Lindsay Creek mainstem and one on a tributary of Lindsay Creek (Crystal Creek).

The expected benefits include restoring year-round unimpeded access to cold anadromous rearing and spawning habitat for juvenile and adult coho salmon in Lindsay and Crystal Creek. Approximately 1 mile of potential year-round habitat in mainstem Lindsay Creek is currently limited by a temporal road-crossing barrier for adult coho and a complete barrier to juvenile salmonids. Similarly, 0.33 miles of habitat are being excluded by a complete road-crossing barrier on Crystal Creek.
