SRP Project

School House Creek Fish Barrier Removal

Organization	Hood Canal Coordinating Council Lead Entity
Sponsor	Mason County Public Works
Status	Completed
Schedule	Start Date: 4/16/1999 End Date: 11/20/2001

DESCRIPTION

Schoolhouse Creek is a tributary to the Tahuya River estuary. Historically, the Tahuya River system had a summer chum run which has been extirpated. In addition, Tahuya River chinook stocks have also declined and efforts are underway to rebuild chinook numbers. The lower reach of Schoolhouse Creek is low gradient with year round flow but is inaccessible to salmon due to an undersized and perched culvert. The existing culvert is 72"x47" cmp arch with a 1.5 foot drop at the downstream end and no plunge pool. Existing gravels upstream of the culvert are good and would be available to summer chum for about 0.5 miles, at which time gradient might become a barrier. A total of 2.35 miles would be opened up for other species, such as coho and steelhead. This project is slated for start and completion during summer/fall 1999.
