Align culverts in the bottom and middle of the natural channel. |
| Text: |
"Drainage Crossing Culverts: Align culverts in the bottom and middle of the natural channel so that installation causes no change in the stream channel alignment or stream bottom elevation. Culverts should not cause damming or pooling or increase stream velocities significantly (Figure 8.2)." [See Figure 8.2, page 79.] |
