In an effort to increase the wild steelhead populations, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game is working to restore steelhead habitat in the Potlatch River system. Part of their approach is to remove barriers that impede access to spawning and rearing habit. In the summer of 2018, Hatter Creek Earthworks LLC completed the Highway 8 Culvert Passage Improvements on Big Meadow Creek project for the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. This project installed galvanized steel baffles in an existing culvert under State Highway 8 near Troy Idaho.
