The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) corrected a complete fish passage barrier by removing a relic structure from under Collins Bridge on Dry Creek, north of Walla Walla. The relic structure consisted of a concrete apron and wing walls from an old Lutin arch bridge. The apron and south footing of the old structure were undercut, allowing flow to go under the apron and creating a fish passage barrier during lower flows. Additionally, when flows overtopped the apron, a sheeting flow velocity barrier with a 0.61 meter water surface drop was created. WDFW removed the apron and wing walls of the old bridge. Upon removal of the old concrete, the banks were sloped appropriately to designed specifications and then covered in 4" bedding material, a filter blanket, and then 2' of rip rap boulders to protect the current bridge infrastructure. Upon completion of the slopes, a roughened channel that consisted of a pre-determined rock size mixture covered in a larger river rock top layer, was installed under the bridge to prevent the stream from head cutting. The project was completed within the in water work window of 2016 and stayed within cost and scope parameters of the project. Dry Creek, a tributary of the Walla Walla River, is a steelhead spawning and rearing stream. Bull Trout and spring Chinook Salmon were historically in Dry Creek, but were not observed when WDFW did surveys in the early 2000's. Removal of this imminent threat identified in the Snake River Salmon Recovery Plan provides fish access to 10.2 miles of upstream habitat, up to the next partial fish passage barrier. Another 19.9 miles of river lie beyond that partial barrier, including the head waters of the North and South Forks of Dry Creek.
