Title:

B: 157 - Three Mile Falls Dam and Birch Creek natural summer steelhead smolt trapping

Description:

Smolt outmigration estimates are necessary to separate the freshwater and ocean portions of anadromous salmonid life history. Estimates of outmigrant abundance allow evaluation of trends in habitat productivity, without the masking influence of Columbia River migratory and ocean survival conditions. Outmigrant estimates also allow estimates of freshwater survival (e.g. egg to smolt survival) and productivity (e.g. smolts/adult or smolts/redd) when combined with additional monitoring efforts. Smolt trapping will be conducted at Three Mile Falls Dam and Birch Creek to determine annual smolt yield and document inter-annual variation in life history characteristics (i.e. emigration timing & size) for the Middle Columbia River DPS Umatilla River steelhead MPG.

WE Agreement Type:

Contracted

Deliverable Specification:

An inclined plane trap in the juvenile bypass facility within the West Extension Canal at Three Mile Falls Dam and a 5 ft rotary screw trap near the mouth of Birch Creek will be used to monitor smolt production for the Middle Columbia River DPS Umatilla River steelhead MPG. Traps will be operated 24 hours per day and 7 days per week. Captured fish will be enumerated and biological data (fork length, mass, etc.) will be collected.

Sort	Type	Title	Start	End	Status	Modified By	Modified Date
A	EC	Environmental compliance requirements complete	11/18/2020	11/30/2020	Concluded	Matthew Schwartz	4/25/2022 10:52:40 AM
		Description: On-the-ground work associated with this work element cannot proceed until this milestone is complete. Milestone is complete when final documentation is received from BPA environmental compliance staff.
B	PUBPROTOCOL	Review, revise, and publish Protocol and Methods in MonitoringResources.org	11/18/2020	2/28/2021	Concluded	Matthew Schwartz	4/25/2022 10:52:40 AM
		Description: The Protocol (including temporal and spatial design) and Methods for this work element are stored at MonitoringResources.org and need to be finalized (i.e., "Published" through MonitoringResources.org), preferably prior to data collection. Preparations for contract renewals must include reviewing any previously published Protocols/Methods to ensure that they are consistent with how work will be done in any subsequent contract.
C		Install, operate, and maintain rotary screw trap	12/1/2020	6/30/2021	Concluded	Matthew Schwartz	4/25/2022 10:52:40 AM
		Description: Trapping of downstream migrant salmonids will be conducted in Birch Creek using a rotary screw trap from December through June. These are generalized operational periods that vary from year to year depending upon environmental conditions and trap catch.
D		Trap catch data	12/1/2020	6/30/2021	Concluded	Matthew Schwartz	4/25/2022 10:52:40 AM
		Description: Captured fish will be identified by species, race, and origin and biological data (length, weight, condition, and health) collected from natural summer steelhead. Fish will be examined for marks and tags and unmarked natural summer steelhead will be retained for PIT tagging. All trap catch data will be entered into the P4 software program and an Access database.
E		Submit PIT tag data	12/1/2020	10/2/2021	Concluded	Matthew Schwartz	4/25/2022 10:52:40 AM
		Description: Upload data from recaptured PIT tagged fish to PTAGIS.
F		Install, operate, and maintain incline plane trap	3/1/2021	6/30/2021	Concluded	Matthew Schwartz	4/25/2022 10:52:40 AM
		Description: Trapping of downstream migrant salmonids will be conducted at Three Mile Falls Dam using the West Extension Canal's juvenile sampling facility between March and June. These are generalized operational periods that vary from year to year depending upon canal operations, environmental conditions, and trap catch.
G		Validate field data	7/1/2021	10/2/2021	Concluded	Matthew Schwartz	4/25/2022 10:52:40 AM
		Description: Post-season review and summarization of raw field data.
H	DELIV	Smolt trapping dataset and metadata		10/31/2021	Concluded	Matthew Schwartz	4/25/2022 10:52:40 AM
