The Wynkoop Creek Project |
 |
The existing culvert was steep and had a substantial outlet drop. This presented a severe blockage for juvenile fish passage. |
|
Seneca Jones Timber Company, in conjunction with ODFW and Umpqua Watershed Council formulated a strategy for replacement of this culvert. |
 |
 |
The culvert was removed during the Summer of 2000 so that Winter storms could help restore the stream channel to a more natural gradient. The stream banks were rip-rapped and grass-seeded to minimize erosion during the Winter. |
|
The newly-installed culvert is a 100-year event sized bottomless structure on concrete footings. |
 |
|
|
This design allows easy fish-passage for juveniles and adults with no inlet or outlet barriers and a natural streambed. |
