JOC - Joseph Creek ISA @ km 3
Status: Active - OperationalGeneral Operational Period: Year Round
Start Date: 10/15/2010 12:00 AM
In-stream detection system consisting of a tandem array located in Joseph Creek. In 2019 the array was relocated 450m upstream after being regularly damaged in its former location. The paired array is deployed serially 40m apart, and consists of two 20 ft Biomark HDPE antennas, respectively. JOC is operated by Biomark and the Nez Perce Tribe and was installed for continuous monitoring on October 15, 2010. The array includes site monitoring equipment including air and water temperature probes, and a water pressure transducer to monitor stream level. Electrical power is provided by AC and a battery switcher and remote communication provided by a satellite modem.

Site needed additional zip ties for antenna cables. JOC is operating continuously without disruption through August 8, 2023. |
| 8/24/2022 12:00:00 AM | SiteUp |
Antenna 02 node lost current August 15. Node was replaced August 24. Site is operating continuously without disruption through August 30, 2022. |
| 11/2/2021 12:00:00 AM | General |
JOC is operating continuously without disruption through November 2, 2021. |
| 7/13/2021 1:15:00 PM | General |
JOC site visit to install new datalogger and ethernet hub. Antennas and cables in good shape with no maintenance needed. JOC operating continuously without disruption through July 15, 2021. |
| 1/12/2021 9:05:00 AM | SiteUp | Joseph Creek array (JOC) sustained damage to a can bus cable supplying power to antennas 1 and 2 when a state manager set fire to a blackberry patch and unknowingly burned the can bus cable on or near November 30, 2020. 270 ft. can bus cable replaced. Antenna 1 IS1001 reader was damaged and replaced. Master Controller was damaged and replaced as well. JOC is running continuously without disruption through January 26, 2021. |

| 8/15/2018 2:27:00 PM | General | Joseph Creek array (JOC) Antenna A1 from the sites original configuration was uncovered during spring flows in 2018. It was believed to have been ripped from the substrate during a flood in 2014. This original antenna A1 was removed from Joseph Creek. Antenna A1 from the new configuration that has been in operation since 2014, had an aluminium shield installed on the upstream edge to alleviate antenna deck lid erosion.

| 11/16/2016 9:08:00 AM | General | Joseph Creek array (JOC) is functioning and operational without disruption through 11/16/16. |
| 3/14/2016 7:35:00 AM | SiteUp | A severe rainstorm extinguished the thermo-electric generator (TEG) flame on 3/13/16 at 23:30. The TEG was re-started on 3/14/16 and normal operations resumed at 12:00. The site was down for a total of 12.5 hours. |
| 1/28/2016 9:57:00 AM | General | Joseph Creek Array antenna A1 began losing current on December 1, 2015 due water leaking inside the antenna. Antenna A1 was replaced with a new one on 1/28/16. |
| 12/17/2014 9:54:00 AM | SiteUp | JOC array ran out of fuel on 12/06/14. Normal operations started on 12/17/14 at the JOC array and has run continuously without disruption |
| 10/4/2014 9:58:17 AM | General | JOC event log 9/30/14 falsely stated the new configuration relative to antenna placement. The new JOC configuration consists of an upstream array; A1, A2, and A3. The downstream array;A4, A5, and A6. |
| 9/30/2014 1:28:00 PM | General | Joseph Creek experienced a flood on March 10, 2014 that ripped out antennas A1 and A2 from the substrate and were never seen again. Antenna A4 was damaged beyond repair and was replaced 9/29/2014. JOC had three new 20 ft. antennas added below the old configuration of antenna A3, A4, and A5 to complete a tandem array. JOC now has a total of six antennas in the new configuration with A1, A2, and A3 being upstream and A3, A4, and A5 being downstream. The new configuration became fully operational and operating 17:00 September 30, 2014. JOC antenna tuning was completed 10:00 October 1, 2014. |
| 1/16/2014 1:58:48 PM | General | Antenna A4 lost current on 11-22-2013 and ceased to function. Antenna A5 lost current on 12-5-2013 and ceased to function. Both antennas were replaced on 1-15-2014 and are functioning. |
