1 week ago Sites to follow up with from the simpcw:
-
[ ] 13905537 and #79
- 13905537 is a railway crossing just upstream of 13900028 on penny street, which is the only access to the town of Penny. Crossing 13900028 is at a high risk of washout is crossing 13905537 gets lots of flow.
- 13905537 has a big concrete outlet drop and 2 of the 3 culverts are blocked by vegetation.
-
[ ] #84
- culvert in super rough shape
- small outlet drop
- low traffic dirt road so easy fix
- likely fish bearing due to proximity to fraser river
-
[ ] #85
- big outlet drop
- low traffic dirt road so easy fix
- likely fish bearing due to proximity to fraser river
-
[ ] #87
- big outlet drop
- low traffic dirt road so easy fix
- likely fish bearing due to proximity to fraser river
- In the 500m downstream to the fraser river confluence, there are 4 other unassessed crossings that should be considered.
-
[ ] 13903446 - Tributary to Fraser River
- known chinook stream so good to follow up with fish sampling
- not much of a barrier
-
[ ] #92
- no barrier but backwater
- Chinook and sockeye observations just upstream of there this stream joins the fraser river, only ~1km downstream of the crossing, so could potentially be good to follow up
-
[ ] #94
- inlet completely buried with and outlet blocked by beaver debris
- Good habitat
- chinook observed downstream in fiss
-
[ ] 13903184 - Kenneth Creek
- decent outlet drop
- Good habitat
- known spawning location
- highway to expensive
- comments say should be replaced with a bridge
-
[ ] 13900192 - Trib to Kenneth Creek
- Massive outlet drop (1.7m)
- Good habitat
- highway to expensive
- no historic fish observations
-
[ ] #95
- small outlet drop
- Good habitat, especially for bulltrout
- highway to expensive
- no fish data on the stream
- in Sugarbowl grizzly den provincial park
-
[ ] 13900260 - Tributary to Sugarbowl Creek
- big outlet drop (1.15m)
- crossing is right next to #95
- Good habitat
- highway to expensive
- no fish data on the stream
- in Sugarbowl grizzly den provincial park
-
[ ] 13900270 - Tributary to Sugarbowl Creek
- decent outlet drop (1m)
- inlet super blocked
- pipe is in bad condition/old
- Good habitat
- highway so expensive
- no fish data on the stream
- in Sugarbowl grizzly den provincial park
-
[ ] 13900198 - Lunate Creek
- massive outlet drop (2.8m) and outlet pool
- no fish data on stream and relatively close to fraser river
- highway so expensive
-
[ ] 13900201 - Driscoll Creek
- outlet drop (0.6m)
- good habitat
- some rocks in the culvert creating higher velocity but comments say adult fish could likely still get up
- big beaver damn right near inlet spanning the whole channel
- RB and CCG observed upstream and downstream of crossing in 2004
- highway so expensive
- right on the boarder of Ancient Forest/Chun T'oh Whudujut Protected Area
-
[ ] 13903148 - Dominion Creek
- pipe is fully backwatered to the extend where you can barely see the pipe
- Chinook observations just downstream in 2009
- right in the town of McBride
-
[ ] 22200082 - Cranberry Creek
- stream was mostly dewatered at time of assessment and adjacent landowners were concerned as this was uncharacteristic and mentioned that upstream pipeline construction may have influenced beaver presence. Looks like pipeline crossing stream just downstream as well.
- pipe fully embedded
- stream joins Swift Creek (known chinook stream) not far downstream
-
[ ] Crooked Creek - 22200015,#101, #102
- Known RB in system and good habitat
- significantly more flow above highway 5 at upper crossings (22200081, 22201951), perhaps because beaver area downstream, should investigate
- 22200081 and 22201951 have small outlet drops
-
[ ] 22201176 - Teepee Creek
- Salmon point just upstream
- 0.4m outlet drop
- good habitat
- highway to expensive
- pipe is undersized
-
[ ] 22201229 - Holliday Creek
- chinook point just downstream
- 0.4m outlet drop
- good habitat, wide channel
- highway to expensive
- pipe is undersized for stream width
Place to keep track of sites that appear to have valuable habitat and significant passage issues (especially outlet drops). It is nice to have sites that are on small roads and unpaved roads too where actions are easier to achieve in the short term. Looking through photos - some of these will have the site number circled. The photos on onedrive could be actually really useful for that....
