DESCRIPTION
In addition to the culvert replacement (see Pt Lawrance Road/ Cascade Creek Project), there is an opportunity to gain five times the habitat connectivity in Cascade Creek. In the stream a few hundred feet upstream from the causeway, is a rocky chute/waterfall about five meters in total height. The waterfall, which is artificial, was blasted out in the 19th Century to facilitate chuting logs downstream. A fish ladder, rock shelves as 'natural' steps', would be built over the waterfall. Installing a ladder will add another 1200 feet of pool-riffle habitat, also nicely shaded with lots of structure. The landowner is very willing to work out a solution as quickly as possible to enhance fish passage on his property.
