Langlois Creek Culvert Replacement Construction and Log Weir Removal Design

Multi-benefit: by removing 5 fish barriers (4 culverts; 1 log weir) on Langlois Creek, we can expect: • increased access to spawning and rearing

habitat for salmonids / resident fish (5.54 miles), • Improved drainage for agricultural production

(75 farmable acres will benefit).
