Site Comments: In 1990 the AK Railroad installed a series of step pools below the culverts/tidegates to raise the water level approx 18". The rock weirs were built by hand and were originally intended to be a temporary solution. As of 2011 they are still in place although they have somewhat collapsed. The tidegates on the culverts were reomved in 2010.
