North Creek Culvert Replacement at Harborview Dr.
|
The culvert to be removed and property for bridge installation is city-owned and will be maintained as such per regular public works operations duties. Initial design and permitting for this project has begun including engaging community stakeholders. The city is seeking funds to assist in construction.This project will remove a box culvert to eliminate the next fish passage barrier along North Creek. Any culvert can be a velocity barrier to salmon by increasing the velocity of the stream such that salmon must expend more energy than is necessary to reach their spawning grounds. Eliminating this culvert and restoring the stream will allow salmon to use that wasted energy to reach their ideal spawning grounds upstream and may result in more successful spawning. High velocity can also be detrimental to fry migrating out of the creek. A return to a natural-bottomed stream, with resting pools and riffle sections will benefit all salmonids present. Additionally, because the creek is tidally influenced, the design will consider the 2080 projected increase in water quantity due to climate change. The estuary, creek, and surrounding land is located within the ancestral homelands and main village site of the sx??babc? peoples. It is possible we may encounter culturally significant artifacts during the project.
