Culverts removed A contractor this week finished removing two 13-foot culverts from a dike at the end of Kandoll Road. The Columbia Land Trust installed the culverts about eight years ago as part of a wetland restoration project, but the project caused flooding of nearby property, and the increased current from the culverts has been eroding dikes along Seal Slough. The land trust has created new wetland channels and installed tide gate as part of the plan to address the problems.
