The Del Norte County Migration Barrier Removal Project at Jordan Creek and Parkway Drive resulted in the simultaneous removal of a private barrier located directly upstream. The County-owned concrete box culvert on Parkway drive (left) was replaced with a Con-Tech Aluminum Arch shown below. The arch provides for full natural stream bed simulation and the flood capacity at the crossing was increased by 450% as a result of this project.

The two culverts shown right were located directly upstream of the County stream crossing on Parkway Drive. In conjunction with the County Migration Barrier Removal Project, the landowner agreed to replace the two culverts with a "Big-R" pre-fabricated bridge. In total, this project opened access to over 2.5 miles of habitat for coho salmon, steelhead and cutthroat trout.

This project was funded through the California Department of Fish and Game S.B. 271 Grant Program, S.B. 291, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and by Del Norte County.
