DESCRIPTION
This project removed three fish passage barrier culverts on separate road crossings on Geissler Creek in the Wynoochee River Basin and replaced them with structures that are fully passable to all aquatic species and life stages. Together they opened a total of 2.35 miles of excellent spawning and rearing habitat for five species of salmonids, including coho, Chinook and chum salmon and steelhead and cutthroat trout. The first project starting from downstream was on the Pekola property, removing a 6 ft. diameter round steel pipe and replacing it with a 50 ft. long by 14 ft. wide steel modular bridge. At the second site, on Koski property, a 4 ft. diameter steel pipe was replaced with a 50 ft. long by 14 ft. wide steel modular bridge. The third site upstream from the first two sites, located on West Wynoochee County Road, removed a 7 ft. diameter steel pipe and replaced it with a multi-plate, 5 gauge, deep corrugated, galvanized bottomless arch culvert 22 ft. wide and with an 8 ft. 11 in. rise, set on precast concrete footings.
