Neefus Gulch Fish Passage Improvement

Project: Neefus Gulch Fish Passage Improvement

Description: Trout Unlimited will develop designs to improve passage for coho salmon at two successive migration barriers on Neefus Gulch, a low-gradient tributary to North Fork Navarro River within the Rancho Navarro Subdivision. The engineering design and specifications for the project will include one culvert replacement on Appian Way, and removal or modification of an earthen berm on Neefus Gulch that creates a one acre pond. Opening these barriers to fish passage will allow for unimpeded salmonid migration to 4,708 feet of historic spawning and rearing habitat in Neefus Gulch. Construction is expected to take place in 2020.
