Abstract

Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure's realignment and widening of Highway No. 219 resulted in the loss of a portion of Beaver Creek. An aging timber bridge was removed during the construction. The bridge was replaced by one 5.23 m diameter, 47 m long structural plate culvert, plus one 0.8 m diameter, 66 m long corrugated steel pipe culvert. Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) authorized the harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat for the bridge-to-culvert project and required several mitigation measures during construction, compensation for the HADD, and three years of post-construction monitoring. This submission of this paper documents an innovative and creative approach to fish habitat compensation for a bridge-to-culvert project. The following pages highlight the key features of the compensation efforts and demonstrate the relationship between riparian habitat compensation and fish habitat compensation. For the covering abstract of this conference see ITRD number E216597.
