Habitat confirmation assessments were conducted between August 30, 2019 and September 8, 2019 at 17 crossings ranked as high or moderate priority for follow up. During the habitat confirmations a total of approximately 15 km of stream was assessed with 10 crossings rated as high priorities for rehabilitation, three crossings rated as moderate priorities and Four crossings rated as low priorities.

Audience:  Government and Public

As the result of 2019 field work findings and ongoing communications between SERNbc; McLeod Lake Indian Band; Sinclar Group (forest licensee); Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations & Rural Development representatives, site plan designs have been developed for a fish passable structure over an unnamed tributary to Missinka River (PSCIS crossing 125179) located at 12km on the Chuchinka-Missinka FSR Road. The crossing was identified as a barrier to upstream fish migration and a high priority for replacement through this project. The current crossing structures (two round bottom corrugated metal pipes) were noted as being located in fisheries sensitive watershed and adjacent to other streams of similar size and character which are also transected by FSR crossing structure barriers. Should fish passage restoration at crossing 125179 be completed, this setting could present a scenario favorable for monitoring of impacts of stream passage remediation on local fisheries populations (i.e. biological monitoring at the stream where crossing 125179 is located can be compared not only to pre-restoration conditions but also to similar adjacent streams where non-remediated crossing structures are located).
