PSCIS Habitat Confirmations

Points where an evaluation of the fish habitat up and downstream of a road crossing have been carried out. Phase 2 of 4 in the Fish Passage Workflow, Habitat Confirmations are done at sites where the crossing structure is known to be a failure. The Habitat Confirmation is performed to ensure that the site in question is a good candidate for moving on to the Design (Phase 3) and Remediation (Phase 4) stages of the workflow. The Habitat Confirmation confirms the crossing is a barrier, places the crossing in context with respect to other roads and crossings in the watershed and also quantifies and qualifies how much habitat will be gained if the site is fixed.

Provenance Text Provenance Text of the data.	Reports are submitted by contractors who have gone in the field, confirmed the crossing is a barrier and if so, walked the stream both up and downstream of the crossing site to evaluate the quality and quantity of fish habitat. The protocol also requires the contractor to perform a background data search on the site to establish relevant information about both the road and stream networks. This would include information on road status and ownership as well as fish species utilization of the aquatic system. The reports linked to these datapoints present their findings.
