Prairie City Ranger District aquatic staff announced a tem- porary road closure for Forest Road 1665-478. The closure is scheduled from July 15 to Aug. 30. The road will be closed to replace a culvert as described in the Lit- tle Crane Culvert Replacement project. The replacement of the undersized culvert on the Forest Road 1665-478 crossing over Little Crane Creek is to pro- vide passage for native aquatic organisms at all life stages. Sed- iment transport and streamflow would be unimpeded at low and high flow events. Improving sediment trans- port, retaining hydrologic con- nectivity and protecting water quality are critical to maintain- ing resilient stream and ripar- ian habitat that sustains water and forage for multiple uses while also contributing to the recovery of North Fork Mal- heur River Bull trout.
