Brighton Creek Culvert Replacement Project
#11-BRIGHTON-1001 #11-BRIGHTON-1001
Organization Nisqually River Salmon Recovery Lead Entity
Sponsor Pierce County
Status Planned
Schedule Start Date: 10/31/2019 End Date: 1/1/2026
Category Category: Restoration
DESCRIPTION
Replace partial fish barrier culvert on Brighton Creek under Harts Lake Loop Road with a fish-friendly culvert. This culvert is highest priority culvert for replacement of any culvert assessed in the Nisqually watershed because it is a more complete barrier and there is still some good intact habitat upstream that is currently mostly inaccessible for salmon. It is however not rated a 1 because it is on a minor tributary to the Nisqually and will not have significant direct benefit for Chinook or steelhead. It will have greatest benefit to coho and chum as well as some smaller benefit for steelhead and indirect benefit for Chinook salmon.
