FOS - Foster Dam Weir
Status: DecommissionedGeneral Operational Period: Seasonally
Start Date: 5/15/2014 12:00 AM
End Date: 1/31/2018 9:00 AM
The Foster Dam Weir antenna is located in spillway #4 at Foster Dam on the South Santiam River just upstream from the town of Sweet Home, Oregon. The site consists of two ferrite shielded flat plate antennas. Each antenna housing measures 11-feet by 42-inches. One antenna is mounted on each side of the weir opening. Two IS1001-ACN transceivers are mounted on the rear of the weir and have a 6-foot antenna lead. CAN-Bus (+power) cable connects the ACNs to one another and to the IS1001 MTS-MC. Site was removed in January 2018

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.

| 1/31/2018 9:00:00 AM | SiteDown | Site decommissioned for replacement with a new weir. Presently there are no plans to run PIT detection on the new weir. |
| 3/1/2017 6:00:00 AM | General | The tainter gate behind the weir was opened on 3/1/17 at 0600 allowing fish to pass over the weir and over the dam. |
| 10/19/2016 3:00:00 PM | General | The tainter gate behind the weir was opened on 10/19 making the weir operational to pass fish. Any detections from this point on should be of fish passing the dam. |
| 9/17/2016 12:00:00 AM | General | No test tag detections today on either antenna |
| 8/23/2016 12:00:00 AM | General | No test tag detections today on either antenna |
| 7/13/2016 6:00:00 PM | General | The tainter gate behind the weir was closed on 7/13/16. The antenna still remains operational and able to detect fish, but fish can not pass over the dam until the gate is opened again later this fall. |
| 4/29/2016 11:30:00 AM | SiteUp | The weir went back into operation today. The reservoir was filled to summer high pool elevation and the weir was raised to the new level. The tainter gate was re-opened allowing fish to pass the dam via weir spill. |
| 4/22/2016 8:00:00 AM | SiteDown | Spill over the weir was stopped as the reservoir was brought up to summer high pool elevation. The tainter gate behind the weir was closed. The antenna was still operating but fish detected could not pass the dam via the weir. |
| 3/21/2016 1:00:00 PM | General | The spillway tainter gate behind the weir was opened in 3/21 allowing water to flow over the weir. |
| 3/10/2016 8:35:00 AM | General | No test tag detections today on either antenna |
| 3/3/2016 8:35:00 AM | General | No test tag detections today on either antenna |
| 2/26/2016 8:35:00 AM | General | No test tag detections today on either antenna |
| 2/23/2016 12:00:00 PM | General | Antenna #1 operating |
| 2/19/2016 12:00:00 PM | General | Antenna #1 down |
| 2/12/2016 8:35:00 AM | General | No test tag detections today on either antenna |
| 1/16/2016 12:00:00 PM | General | Antenna #1 operating with high noise |
| 1/11/2016 12:00:00 PM | General | Antenna #1 down |
| 12/7/2015 7:00:00 AM | General | The spillway tainter gate was closed behind the weir causing water to pool around the weir. The weir antenna was still functioning but there was no flowing water to pass fish. Any detections after this date would be of fish milling near the antenna. |
| 11/4/2015 12:00:00 PM | SiteUp | System operational |
| 11/2/2015 12:00:00 PM | SiteDown | System down |
| 10/6/2015 12:00:00 PM | General | Antenna #1 operational |
| 10/5/2015 8:00:00 AM | General | The weir went back into operation on 05 October, 2015 around 0800. The reservoir pool elevation was lowered to ~613 ft (+/- 1 ft) and the tainter gate behind the weir was opened allowing fish to spill over the weir. Although the antenna on the weir has been functioning prior this date, fish can now use the weir to pass the dam. |
| 9/23/2015 12:00:00 PM | General | Antenna #1 down or very high noise |
| 9/12/2015 12:00:00 PM | SiteUp | System operational |
| 9/7/2015 12:00:00 PM | SiteDown | System down |
