NAL - Lower Nason Creek
Status: Active - Non-OperationalGeneral Operational Period: Year Round
Start Date: 4/17/2008 12:00 AM
This is a permanent instream PIT tag interrogation site at rkm 1 located on lower Nason Creek. The site consists of two rows of antennas, with each row spanning the wetted width of the channel during base flows. All antennas are installed in flat-plate configuration. Site runs off grid power. The antennas were built and installed by WDFW. A cellular modem is installed on site to provide remote communication and allow for automated data collection. A submersible pressure transducer and temperature probes are installed on site to monitor environmental conditions.
