The three barrier culverts on Bush Creek that were also removed in 2018 opened nearly 8.5 miles of upstream stream spawning and rearing habitat for the five salmonoid species found in the creek. Two of the barrier culverts were replaced with 29-foot diameter pipes instead of a bridge because installing bridges would have been too costly. In this area too, the smaller sized culverts caused the water to back up under heavy flows and flood the surrounding area. Now, the water is flowing through. The planted western redcedar, willow and Douglas-fir are growing well. And cutthroat are in the stream. After we opened the pipe and had water running through it, co-owner of Streamworks Consulting Brett Demond said, there was probably a dozen cutthroat hanging out in it.
