Decision Memo Completed

Lower Cedar Creek Crossing Removals

Ouachita National Forest McCurtain, Oklahoma Kiamichi Ranger District

Consist of replacing two existing low water crossings with newly constructed crossings with a box culvert design. Crossings are presently barriers to fish passage and a potential safety hazard due to inadequate culverts and subsequent overtopping.

Location

Both crossings for replacement are along Forest Road 53000
