Chicken Creek Culvert Replacement

Wallowa-Whitman National Forest Union, Oregon La Grande Ranger District

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.
