French Creek @ Simon Road Fish Passage

Organization	Snohomish Basin Lead Entity
Sponsor	Snohomish County
Status	Completed
Schedule	Start Date: 4/16/1999 End Date: 7/6/2000

DESCRIPTION

French Cr. is a tributary of the Snohomish R. 14.3 mi. upstream from the mouth & covers 28 sq. mi. in south central Snohomish Cty. French Cr./tributaries provide spawning & rearing habitat for coho salmon, steelhead, searun & resident cutthroat trout. Due to stream impacts, Coho productivity in the French Cr. system is depressed. As a part of WDFW's comprehensive inventory & analysis of fish passage, this project has been identified as an Unresolved Fish Passage Problem & is listed as such on WDFW's barrier list. This project was also identified as a fish blockage & priority in a reconnaissance report for the French Cr. Watershed Engineering Study titled "Water Quality & Drainage Problems in The French Cr. Watershed" conducted by Snohomish Cty. The existing barrier consists of two 72-inch twin culverts crossing beneath Simon Rd. The culverts are perched 1.5 ft. above French Cr.'s summer base flow at the outlet. A weir downstream of the culvert has been undermined by high flows from the steep culvert. A combination of high velocities, outlet drop, & shallow depth of flow create impedance to fish passage. This project will install a single 12 ft. wide culvert with proper design & fish passage. Construction will be complete in Aug 1999.
