Interrogation Site Metadata

CDP - Cushman Dam Project

Status: Active - Non-Operational

Site Type: Juvenile Fish Bypass Facility | Organization: Tacoma Public Utilities

General Operational Period: Seasonally
Start Date: 5/14/2015 12:00 AM

The Cushman Hydroelectric Project consists of two high-head dams on the North Fork Skokomish River. Cushman Dam #1 is the upstream most dam and impounds Lake Cushman. Cushman Dam #2 is about two miles downstream and impounds Lake Kokanee. Initial configuration included 2 sets of PIT tag readers: one associated with a juvenile fish passage floating surface collector at Cushman Dam #1 and one in the Cushman Dam fish facility at Cushman Dam #2 following fish handling. In 2017, two antennas were installed in the net transition structure upstream of the floating surface collector. Out migrating smolts are collected at the floating surface collector and transported to the fish facilities from where they are released downstream of Cushman Dam #2. There is no fish passage between the two dams other than through the floating surface collector at Cushman Dam #1. Returning adults are also scanned at the fish facility at Cushman Dam #2.

Operational history describes the period the site was interrogating for PIT tags. The comments provide anecdotal information about the operation of the site during this period. Site operational periods are updated typically at the end of the calendar year.

Configuration

Configuration metadata includes details about the equipment used at the site to detect and record PIT tags. A new configuration sequence record is created when equipment is added or removed from the site and the period of time it was active. A configuration sequence without an End Date is currently active.
