  • Sharber-Peckham Fish Passage Project

    This project replaced a failing undersized corrugated metal pipe culvert on Galaxy Drive, which had blocked Sharber-Peckham Creek — a Trinity River tributary near Salyer in Trinity County — for at least 20 years. The barrier was replaced with a 12-by-14-foot embedded multi-plate ellipse culvert designed to pass 100-year flows while maintaining a natural streambed.…

The culvert was one of the only remaining barriers to…

Located in the South Fork Eel River watershed, the project opened…

  • Carpinteria Creek Fish Passage Project

    This project removed the last major migration barrier in the Carpinteria Creek watershed — an undersized bridge and 100 feet of concrete-lined channel with drop structures — replacing it with a clear-span bridge and a restored natural stream channel incorporating rock and large wood structure. Located in coastal Santa Barbara County, the project opened at…
