Abstract/Description or Keywords |
The scope of this project encompasses all known culverts within the agricultural area of the Murray Creek watershed, including both public road and private road or crossing culverts. However, due to landowner rights in Canada, only private culverts for which permission has been granted by the landowner were measured. Eight private culverts were measured, however, this leaves an estimated 5-7 culverts on private land in which the landowner could not be reached, or did not grant access to their land. The objective of this project was to provide a detailed assessment of culvert status as it relates to fish passage in the Murray Creek watershed, and prioritize the need for replacement of these culverts for future Murray Creek rehabilitation projects. |
