<p> Agenda</p><p>September 19thth 2012 YRDP Relicensing Participant Live Meeting Conference Call </p><p>(1pm – 3pm)</p><p>Study 7.10 – Instream Flow Downstream of Englebright Dam</p><p>HSC and 2D Hydraulic Model</p><p>1. Introductions</p><p>2. Purpose and Goals of Meeting </p><p> a. Discuss and reach tentative agreement on Green Sturgeon depth, velocity, and substrate HSC.</p><p> b. Discuss and reach tentative agreement on cover suitability for fry and juvenile Chinook and steelhead lifestages. </p><p>3. Green Sturgeon Habitat Suitability</p><p> a. General review of candidate sturgeon HSC</p><p> b. Discuss general morphologic and hydraulic differences or similarities between the source-rivers of candidate HSC and the Lower Yuba River. Discuss any other relevant factors that would influence the application of candidate HSC to the Lower Yuba River </p><p> c. Review input (8/29 email to Beth Campbell) by Mr. Bill Poytress, Supervisory Fishery Biologist U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service</p><p> d. Discuss candidate HSC and modify as needed with the goal of a consensus based sturgeon spawning HSC for use in the Lower Yuba River SRH2D habitat model.</p><p>Time Permitting</p><p>4. Cover suitability for rearing Chinook and steelhead </p><p> a. Review YCWA’s proposal (to be presented during the Live Meeting) for cover suitability for fry and juvenile Chinook and steelhead lifestages using the “condensed” cover coding previously agreed to by the technical workgroup. </p><p> b. Discuss YCWA’s proposed suitability and modify as needed with the goal of a consensus based cover HSC for rearing steelhead and Chinook for use in the Lower Yuba River SRH2D habitat model. 5. Schedule the next face-to-face meeting with the goal of reaching consensus agreement on:</p><p> a. Steelhead spawning depth and velocity HSC and juvenile and fry depth and velocity HSC, and;</p><p> b. Agreement on the use of the RMT SRH2D hydraulic model for modeling fish habitat in the Lower Yuba River, as part of relicensing the YRDP. </p><p>Depending on progress on the above items, the next meeting may be the last meeting required for HSC development for the Lower Yuba River SRH2D habitat model and agreement on use of the SRH2D hydraulic model.</p>
