Fleming Creek Road sedimentation and Nutrient Reduction Project was funded through the 319 grant application process. Pre-project conditions consisted of undersized and damaged culverts. Two of the culvert replacements were on Fleming Creek, they were both fish barriers and prone to overwhelming volume during spring runoff. The 3rd culvert was a relief culvert on the road segment between the larger Fleming Creek culverts. Its location caused chronic plugging of its inlet from the hillside above it
