Comments:   This consists of a double culvert crossing immediately upstream of DPD05 on Deep Creek. Though the road is marked on the GIS road layer as a Clackamas County easement, local residents and the County have treated it as a private road. It is a barrier for juvenile and/or weaker swimming fish because of the pipe slope and flow constriction. The pipes are 4′ diameter CMP (primary culvert) and 3’x4′ ovals steel plate (old boiler?)
