The project...
- This federal Project Grant award of $449,324 from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (CFDA 15.517) program will fund a 4-year study by the Karuk Tribe of California to monitor juvenile salmonid survival and migration rates in the Klamath River basin. The project will use acoustic tags to track wild and hatchery-raised Chinook salmon in the Scott, Salmon, Trinity, and Klamath Rivers, and install an array of 32 acoustic receivers...
AWARD PURPOSE:EACH PROJECT ACHIEVES THE PUBLIC PURPOSE IDENTIFIED IN PUBLIC LAW. 102-575, TITLE XXXIV OF THE CENTRAL VALLEY PROJECT IMPROVEMENT ACTTO PROTECT, RESTORE, AND ENHANCE FISH, WILDLIFE, AND ASSOCIATED HABITATS IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY AND TRINITY RIVER BASINS OF CALIFORNIA.TO ADDRESS IMPACTS OF THE CVP ON FISH, WILDLIFE AND ASSOCIATED HABITATS.TO IMPROVE THE OPERATIONAL FLEXIBILITY OF THE CVP.TO ACHIEVE A REASONABLE BALANCE AMONG COMPETING DEMANDS FOR USE OF CVP WATER, INCLUDING THE REQUIREMENTS OF FISH AND WILDLIFE, AGRICULTURAL, MUNICIPAL AND INDUSTRIAL AND POWER CONTRACTORS.ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED:THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL RECONSTRUCT THE ELKHORN DIVERSION TO ACHIEVE BOTH FISHERIES OBJECTIVES AND FLOOD PROTECTION IMPROVEMENTS.PROJECTED DELIVERABLES OR OUTCOMES:BOTH THE FISHERIES IMPROVEMENTS AND FLOOD PROTECTION IMPROVEMENTS REQUIRE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE PUMPING PLATFORM TO ACCOMMODATE INSTALLATION OF A NEW PUMP THAT MEETS HYDRAULIC INSTITUTE STANDARDS. THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL ACHIEVE BOTH OBJECTIVES, IMPLEMENTED UNDER A SINGLE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT WHICH PROVIDES SIGNIFICANT COST SAVINGS AS COMPARED TO IMPLEMENTING EACH OBJECTIVE SEPARATELY.INTENDED BENEFICIARIES:THE PROJECT WILL BENEFIT THE SALMONID POPULATION BY SCREENING A 60 CFS DIVERSION ON THE SACRAMENTO RIVER. THE ELKHORN DIVERSION OPERATES THROUGH THE IRRIGATION SEASON FROM APRIL TO OCTOBER. AT VARIOUS TIMES DURING THE IRRIGATION SEASON, ALL FOUR RUNS OF CHINOOK SALMON AND STEELHEAD ARE EITHER MIGRATING UPSTREAM TO SPAWNING GROUNDS OR OUT-MIGRATING TO OCEAN. THE EQUIVALENT ACRES OF IN-CHANNEL REARING HABITS AT 20 CFS PER ACRE IS 3.0 ACRES. FOLLOWING CONSTRUCTION, NOAA FISHERIES STAFF WILL PERFORM AN UNDERWATER INSPECTION OF THE FISH SCREEN TO ENSURE OPENING TOLERANCES HAVE BEEN MET, PROVIDING 100 CERTAINTY THAT THE FISH SCREEN WILL PERFORM AT PEAK CAPACITY.SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES (IF KNOWN OR SPECIFIED AT TIME OF AWARD): N A
