Survey Date: Jun 05, 2010

Survey EDS10-FOX01

Observers: Mark Eisenman, Justin Leon

Overall Fish Passage Rating: Black

Tidal: No
Backwatered: No

Step Pools: No
Construction Year:


Site Observations:

  1. Outfall height red
  2. Road bank erosion
  3. Inlet perch
  4. Damage associated with ice problems

Comments: Abandoned culvert. We talked to the landowner of the property that this culvert is on. This pipe is a piece of the old Davidson Ditch pipeline. It looks to be over 100 years old. No constriction ratio was calculated because the upstream of the culvert is still ice. Some flow bypassing culvert.
