Interrogation Site Metadata

LNR - Lower Naches River

Status: Decommissioned

Site Type: Instream Remote Detection System | Organization: Yakama Nation

General Operational Period: Year Round
Start Date: 11/5/2016 12:00 AM
End Date: 5/30/2020 12:00 AM

This site is a permanent instream PIT tag detection system located at rkm 5.3 on the lower Naches river, 700 meters below Nelson dam. Prior to 10/29/2018, the site consisted of one row of five 28 ft x 3 ft flexible antennas mounted to wooden 2 X 4 backbones and anchored to the riverbed with MR-4 anchors. Due to extreme flow conditions in the Naches river, 3 inch HDPE antennas were constructed by Yakama Nation Fisheries to replace the flexible antennas. An IS1001 MTS was installed to replace the Qube. The 3-wire cable was replaced with CAN bus with a 100 ft trunk line running to ACN #5. All IS1001s are daisy chained together with hydrovolt plugs to allow removal/replacement of individual submersible enclosures and antennas. Five 25 ft x 31 inch HDPE antennas were installed using the existing MR-4 anchors. Additional anchors were installed to secure the IS1001 enclosures that are anchored 8 ft below the row of antennas. The site is powered with a 5060 Thermo-electric generator fueled with portable propane tanks.

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.

Event Log Summary

Event Date	Event Type	Comments
2/20/2020 10:35:46 AM	General	On January 16th, 2020, a large tree damaged the Can bus cabling running to antenna 1. Although the site was still collecting data, antennas 2-5 were not functioning properly. Towards the end of January, a high flow event caused further damage to the cabling completely disabling antennas 2-5. The site is currently down until further notice.
12/18/2018 4:09:09 PM	General	On 12/18/2018 at 3:45 PM, antenna 5 was fixed and added back into sequence.
12/10/2018 2:00:00 PM	General	Propane tanks were refilled and power was restored to the site at this time.
11/29/2018 10:23:00 AM	General	On 11/29/2018, the TEG ran out of fuel. By 10:23 AM, antennas stopped collecting data.
11/15/2018 11:00:00 PM	General	Around 11:00 PM on 11/15/2018, a coyote chewed through ACN #5 cable that connects the IS1001 to the antenna. Antenna 5 is largely out of the water during current low flow conditions. Little of no detection data is expected to be lost. Antenna 5 should be fixed prior to Jan 1, 2019.
11/8/2018 4:00:00 PM	General	An 8' ground rod was installed with a single point grounding configuration between the 5060 TEG and MTS enclosure greatly reducing noise levels on all antennas. This is reflected in the status reports starting at 4:22 PM on 11/8/2018. Read-ranges for all antennas increased 8-10".
10/29/2018 3:20:03 PM	General	LNR was rebuilt and installed in October of 2018. New configuration information can be found under the revised site description. The site was powered back up on 10/29/2018 and started collecting data at 3:20 PM.
