The project proposes the removal and replacement of 5 undersized culverts that are currently barriers to upstream fish migration with structures that allow upstream and downstream passage for all aquatic organisms.
Location
The 5 culverts are located in the north end of the Sweet Home Ranger District in the Quartzville Creek-Green Peter Lake watershed approximately 15 miles from Sweet Home, OR.
