Site Comments: MP 117 DOT#418+25

Survey Date: Jul 26, 2010

Survey EDS10-STS29

Observers: Ben Histand, Justin Leon

Overall Fish Passage Rating: Red

Tidal: No
Backwatered: No

Step Pools: No
Construction Year:


Site Observations:

  1. Outfall height red
  2. Structural Problem
  3. Road bank erosion
  4. Constriction ratio gray
  5. Compound gradient in pipe

Comments: The outlet of this pipe has a very large outfall height. For this reason, no longitudinal profile was done. The pipe is rusted through and water is pouring through it. The fall from the pipe to the water surface is about 5.20 feet. The max pool depth is about 2.90 feet at 10 feet from the pipe. There are pieces of culvert upstream from this culvert.
