The project consisted of the removal of a 60" steel culvert and replacement with a bottomless three-sided concrete box culvert measuring 23'w x 10'h x 85' in length. Capital Facilities Project, a joint SSWM and Roads Project. Stormwater Utility Funding and Roads Funding.

This project replaces a significantly deteriorated culvert on NW Wildcat Lake Road south of Nikomis Lane with a
23-foot wide concrete structure. The Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Suquamish Tribe have identified this culvert as the 4th most significant fish-passage barrier in Kitsap County.

The culvert is located at the outlet of Wildcat Lake, which has several high quality streams. Replacing failing and small culverts opens up streams for fish passage and at the same time improves the roads and stormwater system. Removing this culvert is a significant first step in restoring Wildcat Creek and its headwater tributary streams.
