Summary Information
Fish Passability 0.5
Fish Passage is an area of concern for this site.
Culverts have a good flow and good velocity, however the culvert is long and small. This may scare fish away from passing through the culvert.
A future visit to this site is recommended. Culvert is in poor shape; fish passage seems to be an issue at this crossing and could be improved.
These non-native species were observerd at this site: Autumn Olive, Glossy Buckthorn
