2008 Feature Accomplishment
Salzer Creek Fish Passage Project
Resource Challenge
Numerous stream miles of fish habitat have been disconnected from use by fish of all ages due to improperly installed and/or functioning culverts under private and public roads. The Lewis County Conservation District (LCCD) has completed a culvert assessment for nearly all of the Upper Chehalis River watershed documenting over 500 impassable culverts needing replacement to allow steelhead, salmon, and resident trout to sustain historic populations for future generations.
