This project will remove a barrier to salmon migration on Lacamas Creek, a tributary to the Nisqually River. Project benefits include new access to 644 meters of spawning and rearing habitat for Coho, Chum, Steelhead, and Cutthroat Trout, as well as upstream transport of marine nutrients and downstream transport of LWD and sediment for properly functioning biological conditions. Existing twin 36 culverts under 16th Avenue will be removed and replaced with a 16.3 x 5.5 aluminum box culvert to facilitate good salmon passage. This project will be relatively easy to construct, and will bring immediate benefits to Nisqually River salmonids.
