Phase I Testing. Assuming that the final bypass construction is completed by the 2003 juvenile migration, the District will use the first year of the operation (2003) of the juvenile bypass system to identify operational and maintenance modifications that may be needed. The District will conduct a pilot study, estimating the parameters that will be used in future survival studies. The District will begin testing the applicable survival standard in 2004. Beginning in 2004, the District proposes to use acoustic tag technology to measure Juvenile Dam Passage Survival or Juvenile Project Survival. Current coordination between the District, consultants, NMFS Science Center, and the USGS Biological Research Division is ongoing to design and develop the acoustic tag survival methodology. The results of this effort will then be presented to the Coordinating Committee before study implementation for approval. Between 2004 and 2006, chinook yearlings will be tested. Steelhead tests will begin between 2004 and 2006 as determined by the Coordinating Committee. Sockeye and sub-yearling chinook will be tested if technology exists, or will be calculated as discussed above if not measured by the end of Phase I testing.
Phase I Testing. The goal of this task is to execute Phase I Testing and write a Test Report. The Recipient shall: • Execute testing according to the Phase I and Phase II Test Plan • Adjust test plan and re-test according to observed results • Collect at least 4 months of operations data from the ESS Module. The data collection period may be changed with prior CAM written approval. • Prepare a Phase I ESS Module Test Report that will include but is not limited to: o Summary of test plan, and any modifications made to plan o Summary of ESS and EVFC operations tested o Results of Testing Products: • Phase I ESS Module Test Report
Phase I Testing. (a) Phase I Testing Minimum for Gene Groups 1 through 6. Monsanto shall, by the end of the Phase I Testing Period for each Gene Group:
Phase I Testing. Beginning in 2002, the District proposes to use acoustic tag technology to measure Juvenile Dam Passage Survival or Juvenile Project Survival and PIT tags to measure Juvenile Project Survival. Current coordination between the District, consultants, NMFS Science Center, and the USGS Biological Research Division is ongoing to design and develop the acoustic tag survival methodology. The results of this effort will then be presented to the Coordinating Committee before study implementation for approval. Between 2002 and 2004, chinook yearlings will be tested. Steelhead tests will begin between 2002 and 2004 as determined by the Coordinating Committee. Sockeye and sub-yearling chinook will be tested if technology exists, or will be calculated as discussed above if not measured by the end of Phase I testing.
