The project will replace the existing 36-inch diameter concrete culvert with a new structure with a minimum span of 12 feet. Project construction will include traffic control, excavation, stream diversion, culvert removal, new structure installation, and restoring disturbed areas with native vegetation. Purpose: To replace the fish barrier in accordance with federal court injunction No. C70-9213 Subproceeding No. 01-1 dated March 29, 2013. Need: This existing structure on SR 548 has been identified as a partial fish barrier by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and WSDOT Environmental Services Office (ESO) (Site ID 996003) due to possible high velocities based on scour lines in the pipe.
