Two culverts were replaced on Fan Creek, a tributary in the upper Nestucca River watershed. Together, these culverts blocked passage to approximately 1.2 miles of salmon spawning and rearing habitat. The new culverts, designed to pass 100-year flood waters and meet fish passage requirements, are open-bottomed structures that include constructed stream beds to simulate juvenile salmon habitat.
