Tritt Creek

Background

Tritt Creek is a tributary of Chilco Creek which is a tributary of the Nechako River. This traditional crossing for agricultural access has been forded for many of years. While the crossing bed was stable and rock lined and sediment suspension from fording was considered minimal, the landowner wanted to protect fish and water quality values for this stream.

Using best management practices to prevent sediment suspension, a 12 m bridge was installed which provides year-round fish passage opportunity and reduces potential for sediment input at the crossing site.
