EVENT LOG FOR SITE SWT The first line of each entry contains a date/time stamp & who is reporting. The most recent entry is listed first. Date Time Who ---------- ----- -------- 12/12/2011 14:27 Rick November 2, 2011 at 13:23: Data collection has resumed. We have replaced the three damaged flat plate antennas and the interrogation site is operational again. The current setup is largely the same as the previous setup. The main difference is the design of the antennas; in place of the original Biomark Inc. engineered antennas, we have installed PVC encased flat plate antennas that were built in house. Antennas B1 (upstream) and B3 (downstream) are 15 feet in length and antenna B2 (middle antenna) is 10 feet in length. The antennas are placed approximately 10 meters apart and cover the entire width of the stream in all but the highest spring discharges. Antenna read range extends beyond the surface of the water during base flow conditions, but during higher flow events the read range may not cover to the top of the water column. 04/11/2011 17:03 Rick January 1, 2011 - The Sweetwater Creek in-stream interrogation system has been reconfigured as three separate antennas, 4 meters apart and approximately 0.1 kilometers upstream from the mouth of Sweetwater Creek. The upstream antenna "B1", middle antenna "B2", and downstream antenna "B3" each consist of a single fiberglass flat-plate antenna engineered by Biomark Inc. The antennas all cover the width of the stream in all but the highest spring discharges. January 17, 2011 at 13:08 - Interrogation site begins collecting data after power is installed to the MUX. Operations normal. Flows are high, around 500 cfs according to the USGS stream gauge at the mouth of Sweetwater Creek, near Sweetwater, ID. January 31, 2011 - Operations normal. Flows have decreased since last event log entry to around 40 cfs according to the USGS gauge. February 15, 2011 - Operations normal. Flows have increased to around 50 cfs according to the USGS gauge. March 7, 2011 - Operations normal. Flows have remained relatively constant since last event log entry at between 30 and 50 cfs according to the USGS gauge. March 15, 2011 - Operations normal. Flows have peaked at around 180 cfs according to the USGS gauge. March 20, 2011 - Operations normal. Flows have peaked at around 170 cfs according to the USGS gauge. March 30, 2011 - Operations normal. Flows have remained relatively constant at around 80 cfs since the last event log entry according to the USGS gauge. April 2, 2011 - DATA COLLECTION HAS STOPPED. Data from after March 22 at 14:17 to present was lost. Flows rapidly increased overnight. The USGS gauge at Sweetwater mouth is no longer operational, but flows at the mouth of the watershed have rapidly increased to almost 4000 cfs. The high flows have washed away the FS1001M MUX. We are unable to retrieve the data from March 22 at 14:17 to present. Data collection will not begin again until flows decrease and we are able to replace lost or damaged instream equipment. 01/01/2011 00:00 PTOC_Bot Annual log file initiation for SWT #### End of Event Log for SWT ###
