Title:

I: 157 - Monitor habitat at three ponds

Description:

Collect water quality data at Mud Springs, Talmaks Reservoir, and Tunnel Pond throughout the year in order to better manage fish stocking levels.

WE Agreement Type:

Contracted

Deliverable Specification:

An OxyGuard Handy Polaris water quality instrument will be used to collect twenty sets of water quality measurements from each pond, Mud Springs, Talmaks, and Tunnel Pond, including water temperature to one tenth of a degree Celsius, dissolved oxygen levels to one tenth of a milligram per liter, specific conductivity to one tenth microsiemen per centimeter, pH to one hundredth of a pH unit, and depth to one thousandth of a meter throughout the year in order to determine the quality of trout habitat in each of the three project ponds.

Water quality measurements will be collected twice monthly, first and second halves of each month, from May through October, then once per month from November through February, and then again twice monthly in March and April to determine extent of suitable trout habitat in each of the three ponds. Increased frequency of monitoring in warmer months occurs in response to increased limnological dynamics during these months.

Measurements will be taken from a boat at predetermined stations of maximum pond depth as determined from survey maps of each pond, at .303 m depth intervals. In order to determine the minimum dissolved oxygen levels that may limit the trout carrying capacity, measurements will be taken as early in the day as possible.

A	EC	Environmental compliance requirements complete	5/1/2013	5/1/2013	Concluded	Tod Sween	1/22/2013 2:37:04 PM
		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 (completion can be based on pre-existing environmental documentation from BPA).
B	PUBPROTOCOL	Review, revise, and Publish protocol, study design, and methods in monitoringmethods.org	5/1/2013	4/30/2014	Concluded	Tod Sween	1/22/2013 2:37:04 PM
		Description: The Protocol (including temporal and spatial design) and Methods for this work element are stored at monitoringmethods.org and need to be finalized (i.e., "Published" through monitoringmethods.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.
