Stream Crossings
Poorly maintained or constructed roadways have the potential to cause serious impacts to fish and water quality. Stream side protection laws contain provisions for safe fish passage. Selecting a suitable structure requires evaluation of fish habitat capability by a qualified professional. Structures must meet specified standards based on the use of the waterway by fish and may require referral to regulatory agencies. Poulin Environmental assisted the Province in developing standards for stream crossing design and construction that meet requirements for safe fish passage. Expertise is provided in crossing selection, drainage and erosion control.
