j Replaced at Hatchery Property
by Mike Kennedy
So what do you do when you own
a 20-ton bridge that is ready to fall into
an important fish stream at any moment?
This was the dilemma the Natural Re
sources Department faced recently at the
Tribe's hatchery property.
Many years prior to the Tribe pur
chasing the 236-acre property that the
Lhuuke Illahee Fish Hatchery sits on. the
owners of the property installed an old
railroad car as a bridge over Little Rock
Creek to access approximately 200 acres
on the far side of the creek. The large log
bridge supports were placed on fill on
each side of the creek and the rail car was
placed on top of them.
This worked fine until recently, when
the logs started to rot out. Compounding
the problem was the height of the bridge.
During the last couple winters, root
wads and other debris piled up against the
bridge, unable to fit under it. This caused
the water to run around the debris and cut
into the banks on either side, undermining
the already deteriorating log supports. The
result - the bridge was being held up by
sheer luck more than anything else.
The Natural Resources Department
hired McGee Engineering of Corvallis
to provide us with some options. Bridges,
See Bridge on page 4.
A new bridge now crosses over Little Rock Creek at the Lhuuke Illahee Fish Hatchery.
