We will translate existing modeled hydroclimatic data into metrics used for water crossing design and replacement. WDFW permits (Hydraulic Code Rules, Chapter 220-110 WAC) and provides technical guidance for construction of hundreds of fish passable culverts, a number which is expected to rise dramatically in response to a 2013 federal court injunction directing the state to repair thousands of culverts that inhibit salmon migration. Current WDFW design guidance does not account for changes in hydrology resulting from climate change. This project will support the development of designs that maintain desired performance (e.g. connectivity benefits to aquatic organisms) throughout water crossings expected life.This...

The following report describes a study, conducted by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife(WDFW or the Department) from 2014 to 2016, to explore how climate-related changes to streamchannel morphology could be incorporated into the design of water crossing structures such as culverts.The Department received a grant from the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative (NPLCC)that provided essential support for this work. This report fulfills a required deliverable of that grant.
