| Abstract/Description or Keywords | The Klanawa River watershed, managed under TFL 44, by Western Forest Products Inc., was identified as a candidate watershed for fish passage assessment funding through the Forest Investment Account (FIA). M. C. Wright & Associates conducted fish passage assessments throughout the watershed from November 12th to December 10th, 2009. Mainline and major branch roads including BR265, Central, Darling, Flora, Gorge, Klanawa, Maxwell and North Fork mainlines were targeted first followed by accessible spurs and several deactivated roads. A total of 870 crossings were visited; 797 crossings did not qualify for full assessments and 73 were fully assessed. Of the 797 non-assessed crossings, 138 were open-bottomed structures (bridges, wooden box culverts, etc.) and 659 crossings did not qualify for full assessments (cross-drains). UTM and photographic data were collected for structures of this nature.
