Document Description
The project consists of removing an Arizona crossing which is a barrier to steelhead, and replacing the crossing with a pre-fabricated arched culvert bridge with a natural bottom. The new bridge will be about 20 feet wide and 250 feet long. The existing crossing will act as an access and pad to construct the abutments. Fill will be placed in the area cut for access to the Arizona crossing, to restore the original banks. The project will temporarily impact 0.2 acres of central coast sycamore/willow riparian habitat. El Capitan Creek has historical data showing that it contained a population of spawning steehead, which had been eliminated by barriers. This is the first of the two barriers which are slated for removal, and is being funded by the State Fisheries Restoration Grant Program.
