Acoustic Telemetry Evaluation of Juvenile Salmonid Passage and Survival at John Day Dam, 2011. PNNL-22266. Final report submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District, Portland, Oregon, by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, Washington. Preface This study was conducted by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), the University of Washington (UW), and Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Portland District (CENWP). The CENWP technical lead was Mr. Brad Eppard. This report presents survival, behavioral, and fish passage results for tagged yearling Chinook salmon and juvenile steelhead as part of a survival study conducted at John Day Dam during spring 2011. This study was designed to evaluate the passage and survival of yearling Chinook salmon and juvenile steelhead to assist managers in identifying dam operations for compliance testing as stipulated by the 2008 Federal Columbia River Power System Biological Opinion and the 2008 Columbia Basin Fish Accords. Survival estimates were based on a paired-release survival model. iii Executive Summary Improving the survival rate of juvenile salmonids migrating downstream through the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) continues to be a high priority for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the region. Many of these fish are from populations listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Increasing survival rates is necessary to ensure healthy salmon populations in the future and meet performance standards set forth in the 2008 Biological Opinion (BiOp) on configuration and operation of the FCRPS. The BiOp mandates that a 96% and 93% survival rate be achieved for spring and summer downstream migrating juvenile salmonids, respectively. At John Day Dam (JDA), the USACE Portland District (CENWP) is evaluating surface-flow outlets (SFOs) as a means to increase fish passage efficiency and in turn increase fish passage survival rates by reducing turbine passage of juvenile salmonids. The goal of this study was to provide fish passage and survival data necessary to evaluate the performance of the JDA prototype SFO, a top-spill weir (TSW), and the dam as a whole relative to the performance standards outlined in the BiOp and additional performance measures as stipulated in the Columbia Basin Fish Accords for yearling Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and juvenile steelhead (O. mykiss). This study was conducted to provide the CENWP and regional fisheries managers with information necessary to assist with decision making for adaptively managing the configuration and operation of JDA to maximize the survival rates for juvenile salmonids. Researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory collaborated with the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission, CENWP, and the University of Washington to estimate survival rates and other performance measures for yearling Chinook salmon and juvenile steelhead passing through JDA during spring 2011. The original study design included evaluation of subyearling Chinook salmon in summer but river discharge far exceeded the 10-yr average halfway through the spring season and well into the summer, so the summer portion of this study was cancelled. The spring study was also divided into early season (April 27–May 16), where treatment discharge levels could be maintained and late season (May 16–May 29), when treatment discharge levels could not be managed. The objectives of this acoustic telemetry (AT) study of survival and passage at JDA were to estimate the following performance measures for yearling Chinook salmon and juvenile steelhead: • Survival: forebay to tailrace (BRZ-to-BRZ [boat-restricted zone]; 5 river kilometers [rkm], JDA forebay array to JDA dam face (2 rkm) and JDA dam face to JDA tailrace array (3 rkm)), dam passage to the JDA tailrace array (3 rkm), and dam passage by route to the JDA tailrace. • Travel times: forebay residence, tailrace egress, and project passage. • Passage metrics: fish passage efficiency, spill passage efficiency, and TSW passage efficiency. • Distributions: forebay horizontal approach distribution, forebay vertical distribution, and horizontal distribution by route and subroute. The current study was an official compliance test as outlined in the 2008 FCRPS BiOp. This study relied on releases of live juvenile salmonids double tagged with Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System (JSATS) acoustic micro-transmitters (AMTs) and passive integrated transponders (PITs) in the Columbia River and used AT to evaluate the approach, passage, and survival of passing juvenile salmonids. Additional passage performance measures were also estimated, most of which were stipulated v in the Columbia Basin Fish Accords. Two spill discharge levels were also tested, 30% and 40%, to determine the effects of each independently on passage and survival metrics. A similar study conducted in 2010 at JDA verified that the dam face array performance was suitable for a full-scale compliance study in 2011, because detection probabilities were essentially 100% for both yearling Chinook salmon and steelhead and survival model assumptions were met. In the spring, 2,510 Yearling Chinook salmon and 2,587 juvenile steelhead surgically implanted with JSATS AMTs and PITs were released in the Columbia River upstream of JDA (rkm 390 near Roosevelt, Washington) and regrouped at the JDA face to form virtual releases. These releases were followed by downstream releases at two sites below JDA of 1,992 yearling Chinook salmon and 1,993 steelhead, which allowed for estimation of paired-release survival at JDA. Paired-release passage survival was estimated for fish passing through two river reaches: 1) the dam and 3 km of the tailrace and 2) the forebay (2 km), dam, and 3 km of the tailrace. The JSATS AMT model number SS130 weighing 0.438 g in air manufactured by Advanced Telemetry Systems and the Biomark HPT12 PIT were used in this investigation. This report provides a comprehensive summary of 2011 results, including route-specific passage survival estimates, travel times, and passage distributions. The study methods and results are summarized below (Table ES.1–Table ES.6). Table ES.1. Summary of methods and conditions at John Day Dam during 2011.

  • Seasonal Life History of Oncorhynchus Mykiss in the South Fork John Day River Basin, Oregon
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Ian A. Tattam for the degree of Master of Science in Fisheries Science presented on December 22, 2006. Title: Seasonal Life History of Oncorhynchus mykiss in the South Fork John Day River Basin, Oregon Abstract approved: ______________________________________________ Hiram W. Li Understanding seasonal changes in growth, survival, and movement rates is crucial to salmonid management. These life history characteristics provide a context for evaluation of management actions. We evaluated the life history of individually marked Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri in the South Fork John Day River basin in Northeastern Oregon. This thesis focuses on Murderers and Black Canyon creeks, two tributaries to the South Fork John Day. These are semi-arid, mid elevation basins with naturally reproducing populations of summer steelhead and redband trout (both O. mykiss). Summer steelhead populations in this basin have declined from historic abundances, and are protected under the Endangered Species Act. In Chapter 2, we evaluate life history variation in Murderers Creek during four consecutive seasons. Growth rate varied significantly with season (F3,88 = 62.56, P < 0.0001), with most growth occurring during spring. Location and season interacted (F6,88 = 4.45, P < 0.001) to influence individual growth rates. As a result, regions of high growth potential shifted up and down-stream seasonally. However, we found low rates of O. mykiss movement (< 3 %) in Murderers Creek during summer, suggesting that individuals did not track resource availability at a large scale. Apparent survival rate varied among reaches, but was consistently higher in the upstream most reach compared to the two lowermost reaches.

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Sarah Ashley Bromley for the degree of Master of Science in Geology presented on June 7, 2011. Title: Evolution and Inheritance of Cascadia Sub-arc Mantle Reservoirs Abstract approved: Anita L. Grunder Inheritance from pre-existing mantle domains and fluid and melt contributions from active subduction together produce the geochemical signatures of mantle-derived arc basalts. In this context, this work evaluates the evolution of Cascadia mantle sources by documenting the isotopic and compositional characteristics of primitive basalts along a transect across the Eocene-Oligocene Proto-Cascadia (EOPC) arc at ~44.5-45.5° N. Primitive EOPC flows, dikes, and sills are exposed across a ~300 km transect that includes the Oregon Coast Range in the Cascadia forearc, the Western Cascades, flanking the modern arc, and the John Day and Eastern Clarno formations east of the Cascades. Like the modern arc, EOPC was built upon accreted terranes of western North America and within the Columbia embayment, which is lithosphere of oceanic affinity that crops out as the Siletzia terrane in the forearc and extends beneath the arc to the backarc. Potential mantle source reservoirs for EOPC magmas include contributions from mantle domains related to pre-existing underlying terranes, distinct North America lithosphere, and depleted Pacific-like upper mantle. In addition, the geochemical characteristics of EOPC magmas have likely been overprinted by subduction processes. Major, trace element, and isotopic data from the EOPC reveal a heterogeneous mantle source that was variably influenced by subduction processes. In the forearc, the high field strength (HFSE) enriched basalts of the Oregon Coast Range represent low degree partial melts of a relatively enriched mantle source.

  • Turbine Optimization for Passage of Juvenile Salmon at John Day Dam
    HASE ROJECT PPENDIX P II P A TURBINE OPTIMIZATION FOR PASSAGE OF JUVENILE SALMON AT JOHN DAY DAM John Day Lock and Dam located on the Columbia River near Rufus, Oregon. PREPARED BY U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS TURBINE SURVIVAL PROGRAM SEPTEMBER 2013 REVISION 0 Turbine Optimization for Passage of Juvenile Salmon, John Day Project Appendix, Revision 0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report identifies operating conditions for turbine units at John Day Dam on the Columbia River, where turbine fish passage survival is expected to be higher based on using the tools developed by the Turbine Survival Program (TSP). The 2004 TSP Phase I Report indentified that operating conditions of large Kaplan turbine units appear to have a significant effect on the survival of fish passing through them. This TSP Phase II Project Appendix involves identifying target operating range (TOR) and the targets for project operations. To reduce strike injuries to fish, the physical geometry of John Day’s turbine components was examined. As flow increased, the wicket gates open up and the blade angles steepen. The wicket gates achieve the best alignment with the stay vanes over a 7-degree rotational range from 36 to 43 degrees open. However, the maximum wicket gate opening is often restricted by other constraints such as generator limit. Additional information to reduce strike frequency, exposure to shear, and turbulent environments came from 1:25 Froude scale model constructed at the Engineering Research and Development Center of a John Day turbine unit. High-speed video of neutrally buoyant beads was taken to assess the strike frequency and severity.
