This training is part of the BRWA’s overall watershed/landscape approach to dealing with the issue of fish passage in the Bad River watershed.  The BRWA Culvert Program includes conducting an inventory of all crossings in the Bad River watershed, identifying problem crossings with respect to fish passage and sedimentation, and working with towns and other local agencies to fix problem sites.  Five sites for crossing work have been strategically selected for restoration this summer. Two in Grand View on tributaries to the White River, two in Ashland on Billy Creek and one in Anderson on Montreal Creek. BRWA, Service and the Wisconsin DNR will purchase the pipes and/or provide funding for installation of fish friendly crossings for these crossings.  The respective county Land and Water Conservation Departments will provide survey and design assistance and the Towns will directly install or assist with the installation at the project sites.  The great working partnership developed in the Bad River Watershed serves as an example for other efforts around Lake Superior and the Great Lakes as a whole.
