| Comments: Two pipes each at 1.2m in diameter, with one showing an inlet drop. Both pipes are embedded, except for 1 m at the inlet of one pipe, allowing them to function as embedded culverts, resulting in a low priority for replacement. The habitat is high quality, featuring deep pools and gravels. Rainbow trout ranging from 40-140 mm were captured during sampling.. 12:26:48 | |||

| Comments: Two 1.2 m diameter pipes are present, with a significant outlet drop and a deep outlet pool. The habitat was good and consisted of cobbles, boulders, and woody debris, providing complexity and cover for fish.The stream flows into the inlet from the east but goes subsurface approximately 10 m upstream, with occasional small, shallow pools. The well-defined stream channel suggests it often carries higher flows. A wetland area to the east of the inlet likely contributes flow to the stream. An ~8 m wide area directly in front of the inlet was dry at the time of assessment but showed evidence of flowing water during higher flows.. 13:14:10 | |||

| Comments: Culvert replaced with Bridge by Canfor in the summer of 2024 with environmental oversight and engineering from DWB. Very nicely designed structure that fits the stream channel well. Minimal rock placement within areas likely to be within the natural channel with not constricting the channel. It is recommended that future projects incorporate vegetated riprap and reinstall the vegetation removed from the construction footprint within the same area.. 15:35:51 | |||

| Comments: Reassessed as part of a baseline assessment before hopeful future replacement. Fish sampling was conducted in a 75-meter stretch downstream and a 50-meter stretch upstream of the culvert, and fish 60 mm or greater were tagged with PIT tags. There are baffles made of metal in the culvert and ¾ of the pipe is embedded with streambed material. The outlet of the pipe sits on a large pile of rip rap creating a 30 cm cascade that occurs approximately a meter after the outlet of the pipe. There are two overflow pipes each at 0.9 m in diameter. . 15:58:48 | |||

| Comments: Small stream system with low habitat value. Limited flow volume and minimal channel structure, with sparse instream features such as large woody debris, pools, or gravels. Riparian vegetation consists of grasses, ferns, and small shrubs, providing minimal shading and bank stability. Slope estimated visually. . 16:12:04 | |||

| Comments: A low-gradient, low-energy system with moderate flow. Fish were observed downstream near the highway crossing. The culvert was deteriorating and was poorly installed, causing significant upstream water backup. Medium value habitat due to dense riparian vegetation, including shrubs and ferns.NULL. 17:35:22 | |||
