Document Description
The Project will remove the two 12-ft diameter by approximately 320-ft crushed metal culverts and channel-spanning fill material that is actively eroding. The project will restore unimpeded fish passage at the site and mitigate the risk of complete failure of the crossing, which could mobilize tens of thousands of cubic yards of material into Rock Creek and the Sacramento River (approximately 1-mile downstream).
