This fish passage restoration project will result in improved fish passage by removing two partial barriers to fish passage along Kristoferson Creek where it crosses Barnum Road and Russell Road. These crossings are located on the first 500 feet of Kristoferson Creek where the creek flows into Triangle Cove. The existing crossing at Barnum Road consists of four undersized round concrete culverts that lay side by side and are installed at uneven elevations. The Russell Road crossing consists of a single four foot round steel pipe. This project will build on a feasibility study conducted in 2008 by Adopt-a-Stream Foundation assessing crossings and fish passage improvement opportunities on Kristoferson Creek. By replacing the barriers, the project will improve fish passage for endangered Chinook salmon and steelhead. The 2013 "Juvenile Chinook Salmon Rearing in Small Non-Natal Streams Draining Into The Whidbey Basin" (Beamer et al) documented lower Kristoferson Creek as providing non-natal rearing habitat for endangered Chinook salmon (fry migrant Chinook); the report also documented other species use for rearing including chum, coho (species of concern), steelhead (threatened), and cutthroat trout. These barriers are the first barriers on Kristoferson Creek and are the highest priority barriers within the sub-basin for providing access for juvenile fry migrant Chinook salmon.
The project is located on Camano Island and is publicly owned. Grant funding is needed to design, permit, and construct the two improved crossings.
