Survey UPDATE-TOK4

Project Supervisor: Gillian O'Doherty, ADFG
Observers: Andrew Kastning

Overall Fish Passage Rating: Gray

Tidal: No
Backwatered: No

Step Pools: No
Construction Year:


Site Observations:

  1. Outfall height gray
  2. Inlet perch
  3. Culvert is poorly aligned

Comments: Survey and data collected by CRWP. All photos CRWP. Culvert is aligned with upstream channel, but old scour pool exists downstream due to an 80 degree turn, most likely caused from 2006 flood.
