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. Culvert gradient red

Comments: No longitudinal profile was done here because the outfall height is red and there is questionable habitat upstream. The gradient would most likely be red. No minnow traps were set out because the water is too shallow.
