Murphy Creek side-channel intake modifications $11,553

The Trail Wildlife Association has constructed and operates a highly successful side channel adjacent to lower Murphy Creek for spawning, incubation and early rearing of rainbow trout. The water intake for the side channel is located a short distance downstream from the Highway 22 culvert and directly in line with the culvert discharge. In this location it is subject to damage during spring freshets. In August 1998 Rheal Finnegan inspected the damage done to the intake during the 1997 freshet and recommended reconstruction of a new intake in a less exposed position, and construction of parallel settling ponds to reduce the deposition of fine sediments. This project proposes to implement thee recommendations.
