DESCRIPTION
This project is to address 3 fish passage barriers on Geissler Creek 3 miles northwest of Montesano. It will complete topographical surveys, develop preferred alternatives, design drawings, cost estimates, and permitting for private driveways sites #127Y0136 and #127Y0374 and county-owned Geissler Road site #103-1025. Together with a correction already designed and permitted for a barrier on West Wynooche Road site #103-1022, these corrections will open 3.15 miles of excellent, mostly forested habitat for coho, chum and Chinook salmon and steelhead and cutthroat trout. The design and permitting materials will be used to apply for future grants to construct the 4 projects to build on passage restoration begun by an FFFPP project upstream from West Wynooche Road completed in 2016.
