Xxxxxx Xxxx Collection Facility and General Operations. (Attachment A) Karchesky (PacifiCorp) provided a brief summary of the current status of the Xxxxxx Dam Adult Fish Trap. During the month of April, a total of 1,234 fish were captured with the majority of these fish being Blank Wire Tag (BWT) winter steelhead (655 – 53%) and spring Chinook (561 – 45%). Xxxxxxxxx also mentioned that the Xxxxxx Dam adult fish trap xxxxxxx and conveyance system ran continuously through the month of April with no interruption in service. River flow varied below Xxxxxx Dam ranging between 2,790 and 6,030 cfs throughout the month. Discharge, cubic feet per second Upstream Transport (Attachment A) Nine Blank Wire Tag (BWT) winter steelhead were transported upstream above Swift Dam in December 2017. Two additional fish were transported earlier in the fall for a total of 11 BWT steelhead collected and transported in fall/winter 2017. Through April 2018, an additional 1,122 BWT winter steelhead were transported upstream for a total of 1,133 fish transported as part of the 2018 run year.

The vast majority of these fish being Blank Wire Tag were early coho (BWT) winter steelhead (655 – 532,909 - 58%) and spring Chinook late-coho (561 – 451,088 - 22%)) while the few remaining comprised of mostly of summer steelhead and fall Chinook. Xxxxxxxxx also mentioned that the All hatchery fish were given to Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Thirty-three (33) coastal cutthroat greater than 13-inches were captured this month. The Xxxxxx Dam adult fish trap xxxxxxx and conveyance system Trap ran continuously through the month of April with no interruption October, except during the schedule outage the week of October 17, 2016 to install the new ladder xxxx. However, during the scheduled outage, it was discovered that the cables that operate the automatic xxxxxxx had unexpected wear and needed replacement. Unfortunately, both projects could not be completed at the same time. Therefore, because the cabling system and xxxxxxx operation is critical to trap operation, the cable was replaced. In an effort to resume trap operation as soon as possible during the coho run, the schedule xxxx installation was postponed to a later date, which will be discussed at the November ACC meeting. The trap was returned to daily operations Monday, October 24th. On October 26th, 2016, the xxxxxx hoist block failed and was replaced on Wednesday, October 26, 2016.

The summer outage period was established by PacifiCorp with concurrence of the Xxxxx River Aquatic Coordination Committee in order to preform annual maintenance on the facility. During this time period, reservoir water temperatures are generally warm and fish migration numbers are low.

Discharge, cubic feet per second The Xxxxxx Dam Fish Trap was suspended February 8, 2019 in preparation of scheduled maintenance outage. Given the inclement weather forecasted over the next several days, PacifiCorp elected to xxxxxxx the fish ladder and conveyance system rather than waiting. The maintenance outage allows for installation of underwater telemetry equipment as part of the adult trap efficiency study on winter steelhead that begins the end of this month. The Xxxxxx trap is on schedule to be back in service today or tomorrow.
