Paradise Acres Culvert Tender

Project Limits: Mileposts 0.00 to 0.12
Federal Classification: Rural Local Access (09)
Project Description: Replace existing 6 foot CMP culvert
with a new culvert sized for fish passage and in alignment with
the creek.
Basis for Project: The existing culvert is rusting through and
needs to be replaced prior to failure. In addition the area floods
during large events and the roadway is being undermined due
to channel migration.
Environmental/Safety Concerns: The existing roadway is being undermined and releasing excess sediment
into the aquatic environment. The roadway is a dead end and if this culverts fail the residents will be unable to
receive emergency services.
The culvert carries an unnamed tributary to Schoolhouse Creek and is identified on WDFW SalmonScape
website as a potential Coho and Winter Steelhead stream.
Funding Sources: At this time the project is being funded with local road funds. It will be reviewed for
eligibility and the availability of funds from the Fish Recovery Board Program during the next project call.
