Elevation:

Site Comments: None

Survey Date: Jul 05, 2010

Survey EDS10-LIV03

Observers: Mark Eisenman, Justin Leon

Overall Fish Passage Rating: Red

Tidal: No
Backwatered: No

Step Pools: No
Construction Year:


Site Observations:

  1. Outfall height red
  2. Culvert gradient red
  3. Damage associated with ice problems
  4. Culvert gradient gray
  5. Beaver Activity

Comments: C2 is clogged by ice, but also by a beaver dam. C1 takes the majority of flow. Fish were seen swimming upstream. No stream widths were taken because the water was too deep.
