The Chicken Ck culvert on the 51 road is undersized and is a passage barrier for fish. This project would replace the culvert with a new bottomless arch culvert. This would improve passage for fish to reach their spawning grounds.
Location
Chicken Creek subwatershed within the Upper Grande Ronde River watershed.
