BRWA's Culvert Program

Fish passage and sedimentation at road stream crossings have been identified as major concerns in the watershed. To address this concern, the BRWA initiated a watershed wide, quantitative Culvert Program. 

BRWA’s Culvert Project aims to:

a. Educate watershed citizens about the environmental and fiscal costs of improperly designed and/or installed culverts,
b. Identify and inventory all stream/road crossings in the Bad River Watershed,
c. Prioritize crossings in need of repair with respect to fish passage barriers and sedimentation, and
d. Search for funding to help pay for new installations.
