| Project
Description: |
Project Description Many structures at stream crossings along
Forest Highway 10 on the
and Outcome: Yakutat Forelands inhibit the upstream movement of
spawning salmon and char. In 2002, Alaska Department of Transportation
completed a survey of the worst culverts and the Fish and Wildlife
Service funded the purchase of a bridge to replace one severely
undersized and failing culvert on Miller Creek. The US Forest
Service contracted with a local operator to replace the culvert
and install the bridge. |
| Benefits: |
This cost-shared work provided fish passage to five
miles and 13 acres of spawning and rearing habitat for coho salmon
and Dolly Varden char, resulting in increased production of fish
for commercial, sport and environmental uses. |
