This project replaced undersized culverts on 1st Creek (Charley Jones Creek) in and around the Muckleshoot Indian Reservation, addressing long-standing roadway flooding that isolated homes and communities.

The inadequate pipe not only contributed to regular flooding of surrounding properties and the roadway, but also blocked fish migration and restricted stream flow. Installing a fish-passable structure eliminated one of the last major barriers in this stream system and complemented recent investments in in-stream habitat improvements nearby.

This project replaced an undersized culvert on 1st Creek (Charley Jones Creek) with a fish passable box culvert, significantly improving water flow and habitat connectivity.
After completion, the Muckleshoot tribe visited the site and provided positive feedback, and nearby residents expressed gratitude for our clear communication and were pleased with the project's swift completion.
