Lots of fines/sands in stream bed. Some gravels and cobbles. Good flow in culvert. Outlet drop estimated from photos as recorded 5cm appears erroneous.

Comments: High value habitat. Major work has been done on this crossing to backwater the outlet using driven sheet pilings. There is an approximate 1.2 m high drop following 40 m of stream after the outlet where adult coho spawners are staged. Incredible spawning habitat upstream with low gradients and abundant gravels. Structure has the date 1920 stamped on the inlet. Known coho spawning system with long history and the Chicago creek restoration society putting in work for over 20 years.

Comments: Outlet of pipe is almost at high watermark of the Skeena. Suspect that elevation of the pipe may need to consider high water levels for the Skeena. However, normal high water level is not much higher than outlet pool surface level at time of the survey so outlet drop is nearly always elevated. Large stream with good flow.

Comments: Beaver dam approximately 1.4 m high located 5 m upstream of the inlet. Beaver influenced wetland upstream however, stream was dry at time of survey downstream of the dam. Skeena River is immediately downstream of the outlet with the high water level approximately 2 m below pipe outlet. Culvert is in very poor condition with top side of the inlet bent down and pipe rusted all the way through the bottom for the last 2 m of pipe at outlet. The area upstream of the highway may historically have provided refuge in high flows, however, at time of survey water levels were low with water quite stagnant.

Comments: Major debris accumulation downstream of the culvert. Stream is dewatered downstream for at least 60 m. There are numerous buried concrete lock blocks downstream of the outlet which may have been part of a backwatering system. Trash rack upstream of the crossing has failed, with steel members scattered throughout the stream. There are poured concrete wing walls upstream of the crossing with the right bank being approximately 8 m long and river left bank wall at 30 m long.

Comments: Small drainage with 1 m high beaver dam approximately 5 m upstream of the inlet. Fine substrate. Seems unlikely that the stream is fish bearing. Historic FISS stream sample site conducted with channel dry at the time of their assessment. Culvert is in very poor condition, rusting through and bent significantly on the outlet. Pipe slope estimated as deformed pipe and position made measurement with clinometer not possible. Ministry of Transportation chris_culvert_id: 1923189. 11:38:36
