At RM 1.9 on Camp Creek, a tributary to the Sol Duc River in Clallam County, there was a 10’ perched culvert in an ordinary high water channel width of 20’, wetted width around 15’ wide (at last measurement in late May 2010). The culvert was in immanent failure. The bottom of the culvert had rusted out, leaving a sharp, jagged raceway for salmonids to navigate. There was approximately 6’ of fill over the culvert to the road profile. Had the culvert failed the resulting sediment input would have been detrimental to the lower reaches of the stream. The Culvert was perched more than 4’ at the outlet and the inlet was blocked with debris that forms a 3’ drop into the culvert. The habitat above is described by WDFW and USFS as fair with the habitat below being excellent. The Pacific Coast Salmon Coalition, along with M&R, removed the undersized culvert and fill material and replace it with a 70’ Big R style bridge. The implementation and installation became quite a challenge due to the bridge's location on a hairpin turn along Camp Creek. The project opened up nearly 1.5 miles of spawning and rearing habitat and reconnect an important salmonid stream. Camp Creek offers spawning and rearing habitat for Coho, Chinook, Cutthroat trout & refuge for Sockeye in the lower reaches.
