EVENT LOG FOR SITE LAP The first line of each entry contains a date/time stamp & who is reporting. The most recent entry is listed first. Date Time Who ---------- ----- -------- 12/07/2011 09:44 Rick December 17, 2011: Interrogation site will not be operational this winter/spring. Due to funding constraints, we will not be able to reinstall (following the washout in spring 2011) until summer of 2012. 04/11/2011 17:04 Rick January 1, 2011 at 00:00 - The Lapwai Creek in-stream interrogation system has been reconfigured as two separate antenna arrays, 4 meters apart and approximately 0.5 kilometers upstream from the mouth of Lapwai Creek. The upstream array consists of two PVC encased flat-plate antennas positioned end to end such that the width of the stream is covered by the antennas in all but the highest spring discharges. In this upstream array, the antenna on the river left side of the stream is denoted "A1" and the antenna on river right is denoted "A2". The downstream antenna, "A3", consists of a single PVC encased flat-plate antenna that covers half the creek width in spring discharges and the entire width in lower discharges. Operations normal. January 15, 2011 - Operations normal. Flows have rapidly increased from around 50 cfs to 400 cfs according to the USGS stream gauge at the mouth of Lapwai Creek, near Lapwai, ID. January 17, 2011 at 4:15 - Antenna "A2" has lost power and is no longer operating. It appears the exciter cable has been ripped from the antenna. Flows have increased to almost 1600 cfs at the mouth of Lapwai Creek according to the USGS gauge. Antennas "A1" and "A3" are operating normally. February 6, 2011 - Antenna "A2" is still not operational. The remaining antennas are operating normally. Flows have decreased since January 17 to around 100 cfs according to the USGS stream gauge. February 15, 2011 - Antenna "A2" is still not operational. The remaining antennas are operating normally. Flows have increased to over 300 cfs according to the USGS stream gauge. March 7, 2011 - Antenna "A2" is still not operational. The remaining antennas are operating normally. Flows have remained relatively constant between 150 and 300 cfs since last event log entry according to the USGS stream gauge. March 15, 2011 - Antenna "A2" is still not operational. The remaining antennas are operating normally. Flows have nearly reached 1000 cfs according to the USGS stream gauge. March 28, 2011 - Antenna "A2" is still not operational. The remaining antennas are operating normally. Flows have remained relatively constant between 400 and 700 cfs since last event log entry according to the USGS stream gauge. April 2, 2011 at 00:00 - DATA COLLECTION HAS STOPPED due to high flows and damage to instream equipment. Flows have increased rapidly to almost 4000 cfs according to the USGS gauge. Flooding and large debris piles are common throughout the watershed. We have lost power to all the antennas. Data collection will begin again when flows decrease and we are able to replace instream equipment. 01/01/2011 00:00 PTOC_Bot Annual log file initiation for LAP #### End of Event Log for LAP ###
