Abstract:
Announces decision to implement projects, including replacing one culvert that is undersized and a barrier to fish passage with a larger diameter, correctly positioned culvert. A series of rock and log weirs may be needed downstream of the culvert to prevent head-cutting and maintain passage through the culvert. The proposed action will also place approximately 30 pieces of large woody debris (LWD) through the west half of Section 19 in Maxfield Creek using selected trees from upland treatment areas and transported and placed in the stream via helicopter. To reduce impacts to Maxfield Creek, approximately 1,200 feet of existing road (Road # 10-6-14) will be decommissioned with a comparable distance constructed farther away from Maxfield Creek. In addition, two stream crossings (fish passage barrier culvert and undersized culvert) will be eliminated and one culvert will be installed on an intermittent stream.
