Construct two low water crossings that also serve as fish barriers along Forest Road 161C. This would protect a core conservation population of Rio Grande cutthroat trout (RGCT) by preventing non-native trout from migrating into a known RGCT area.
Location
Alamitos Creek, a tributary of the Rio Pueblo, approximately 8 miles southeast of the village of Sipapu.
