This crossing is located just above the confluence with the mainstem of Whiskey Creek which flows into the Strait of Juan de Fuca in Clallam county. The barrier culvert was a three sided box culvert (3' x 5') that appears to have once been four sided. The bottom was eroded and had a cobble bottom. Culvert was severely undersized for the channel width but was likely only a barrier during higher discharges. A large pool had formed at the outlet and the stream had incised slightly beneath the structure. This likely provided adequate depth and roughness for juvenile and adult migration at low to moderate discharge. During storm events the culvert created unfavorable hydraulic conditions for juvenile and possibly adult migration. This culvert was replaced with a 16' pipe arch that was installed by the Lower Elwha Klallam Restoration crew during the summer and early fall of 2012. The site was difficult to access and a exisiting logging road required some improvement to get materials and machinery to the site. Erosion control was conducted at the site following construction the culvert performed well during the first winter following installlation There is approximately 3+ miles of potentially accessible habitat above this culvert including significant areas of low gradient channel types and forested wetlands. . Chum, coho, steelhead and searun cutthroat are present in Whiskey Creek.
