Anonymous (1978). Culvert guidelines: recommendations for the design and installation of culverts in British Columbia to avoid conflict with anadromous fish. Canadian Fisheries and Marine Service, Technical Report of the Fisheries and Marine Service 811.
This report examines the hydraulic criteria that should be satisfied at a culvert installation to ensure that fish can migrate through the facility with a minimum of stress. The report also outlines guidelines that, if incorporated into the culvert design, should produce a facility that will permit the free passage of fish in most situations. The design of auxiliary fish passage structures such as culvert baffles and tailwater control facilities are discussed and exampled by drawings. Consideration is also given to the installation of culverts to avoid conflicts with fish use in the stream both during and after the construction period. Guidance is also given concerning the procedures to follow for necessary approval of a proposed culvert installation by the Fisheries and Marine Service.
