This restoration and design combo project will correct a fish passage barrier, opening up the waters for high quality habitat for Chinook, coho and chum salmon, steelhead and cutthroat trout. Both road crossings are located on Schafer Boom Road on Camp Creek southeast of Montesano, Washington.

Site 1 is 33% passable. Rip rap is present at culvert inlet and outlet. Rip rap at the outlet creates a large scour pool. This barrier consists of a round corrugated steel pipe, 3′ in diameter, 30′ long, not countersunk, with a slope of 2.2%. This portion of the project is for construction of the previously-designed correction.

Site 2 is 0.13 miles upstream from Site 1. The barrier culvert is a round corrugated steel pipe 3′ wide and 36′ long. High velocities create a 67% passable barrier. Objectives and tasks include design and permitting. The overall goal is to improve fish passage of 1.26 miles of good quality spawning and rearing habitat will free of barriers after both blockages are corrected.

This project will also produce construction ready designs for another culvert replacement along the same road.
