Culvert barrier fixes for fish passage in the Thornton Creek basin?

Culvert barrier fixes for fish passage in the Thornton Creek basin?

On Thursday August 12, 2021, the fish passage coordinator for King County reached out to me to invite TCA to provide input in choosing a fish passage barrier that could be used for a media event by Senator Maria Cantwell, along with US Representative Derek Kilmer, the following Monday. The impetus was the federal infrastructure package currently working its way through Congress. The US Senate’s version of the $1 trillion package includes $1 billion to remove poorly designed culverts that create obstacles for fish nationwide. Authored by Sen Cantwell, the culvert fix provision in the bill would help open up fish habitat in our state, and with any luck, in our watershed.
