The culvert located at Lake County Road 9 at Tennessee Creek is currently above the base water level, preventing fish and other aquatic organism passage. Additionally, beaver ponding upstream of the inlet is causing debris and sediment to pile up, increasing the need for maintenance. Replacement of this culvert will improve stream health by creating a natural stream bottom, increasing floodplain connectivity, and allowing for aquatic organism passage. The replacement will also minimize potential debris blockage, simplifying maintenance on managers.
Replacement is scheduled for fall of 2027.
