Interrogation Site Metadata

BED - Bedrock Creek Seasonal IPTDS

Status:   Active - Operational
Site Type: Instream Remote Detection System  |  Organization: Nez Perce Tribe
General Operational Period: Seasonally
Start Date:

Bedrock Creek is a tributary of the lower Clearwater River, Idaho. The confluence of Bedrock Creek is on the north side of the Clearwater River at river kilometer 42. Bedrock Creek is approximately 12.7 miles long, draining 25,650 acres, and is considered a minor spawning area for Snake River summer steelhead within the Lower Mainstem Clearwater steelhead population. The Bedrock Creek interrogation site was installed as a temporary and seasonal site at river kilometer 1.0 to estimate steelhead abundance within the Bedrock Creek spawning aggregate because an interrogation site downstream of the Lower Mainstem Clearwater capable of providing a population estimate for the population area does not exist.

Mistakenly had batteries attached to switcher for AC power since first day of operation, when needed to have them on the bypass plugs for solar power. Corrected this and checked on 3/26/2024 by looking at log files and no power issues, so assuming site will be running 24 hours a day now with no interruptions. 

Looking at log files it appears that the site was probably only operating correctly 50% of the time since 2/15/2024.

Replaced node 02 (downstream) with a new node so as to troubleshoot the restarting issue.

MC was on standby instead of scan when went to download data. Various alarms in alarm history indicate "controller forced to standby", "node removed from sequence", "node exciter voltage low", "node input voltage low", and "node not connected".

Unknown cause of these at this time.
