This project removed three 33% passable fish passage barrier culverts on Bush Creek near Elma Bush Creek site#2 and replaced them with structures that are fully passable to all aquatic species and life stages. Together, they opened a total of 8.44 miles of upstream, forested spawning and rearing habitat for 5 species of salmonids.

This project replaced an impassable culvert with a fish passable structure.  Work was also done to realign the upstream channel to a more natural state.  Frase Creek, a tributary to the South Fork Newaukum, east of Onalaska, is now fully accessible to 2.74 miles of rearing and spawning habitat for Coho and steelhead. to realign the upstream channel to a more natural state.  Frase Creek, a tributary to the South Fork Newaukum, east of Onalaska, is now fully accessible to 2.74 miles of rearing and spawning habitat for Coho and steelhead.
