ACB - Asotin Cr. at Cloverland Brdg.

ACB is a permanent instream PIT tag interrogation site located near Cloverland Bridge (RKM 4.5) on Asotin Creek, a tributary of the Snake River. As of 10/23/2018 all previous components present at ACB have been replaced and upgraded. The site consists of 2 rows of antennas with each row containing one 20-foot and one 10-foot HDPE antenna, installed in flat-plate configuration. Each antenna is powered by a Biomark IS1001 (ACN) and the ACNs are connected to a Biomark IS1001-MTS master controller. The antennas were built and installed by WDFW. The site is connected to grid power to charge the battery bank powering the detection system. A cellular modem is installed on site to provide remote communication and allow for automated data collection, however, only manual data collection from the IS1001-MTS will occur at ACB until further notice. Prior to the upgrade, the site consisted of three antennas powered by an FS1001M.

11/11/2013 08:29 AM	Site visited and buffer downloaded. Site functioning normally.	snbennett
01/08/2014 08:29 AM	Site visited and buffer downloaded. Antenna 4 is broken, antenna 5 has moved downstream but is still reading, antenna 3 not reading. Appears site damaged by ice sometime between December 3 and 13th based on flow gauge data.	snbennett
01/24/2014 08:17 AM	As of 12/10/2013, antennas # 3 and 4 are not reading Antenna #4 is completely broken and antenna #3 is unplugged.	crawford
02/13/2014 09:34 AM	As of 1/30/2014 site is completely operational. Antenna 4 is not longer in place, and the total number of antennas is down to 4 instead of 5 previously. Antenna sequence is as follows,1,2,3,5. All antennas have been tuned and are functional.	crawford
03/20/2017 08:10 AM	Site visited for damage assessment from current high water/flood event occurring in Asotin Creek. All 4 antennas present, high noise on antennas 1 and 2 could indicate that they are buried. Further assessment will occur as conditions allow.	jjwilson208
04/02/2017 02:53 PM	Site visited for further damage assessment as high water in Asotin Creek is receding. Antennas 1 and 2 are present but are dry and encased in a gravel bar that has formed within the North side of the creek channel at the site. Antennas 3 and 5 are not present at the MUX but are visible and do not appear to have moved but have simply come unplugged during the high water event. The water is still too high and swift to get out and plug antennas 3 and 5 back in. Further assessment will continue as Asotin Creek water levels further recede.	jjwilson208
05/31/2017 02:27 PM	Site visited for damage and repair/replacement assessment. Antennas 1 & 2 are still dry and buried under 0.5m of river cobbles but are both present and operating normally. Antennas 3 & 5 were not present at the MUX upon arrival at the site. After inspection it appeared the plug connections on both antennas had come loose during one of the many high water events Asotin Creek has experienced in late March and early April. Antenna 3 was plugged in, tuned and tested and is now back operating normally. Antenna 5 was plugged in but is not functional. Antenna 5 has shifted slightly and doesn't appear to be anchored along it's downstream and may have sustained damage as it sits directly within the thalweg at the site. Further damage assessment and removal and replacement of Antenna 5 will occur as water conditions allow. MUX Buffer was downloaded before leaving the site.	jjwilson208
07/13/2017 01:22 PM	Site is down and in the process of being rebuilt/reinstalled. All damaged antennas and cables have been removed from the site. The 2 working antennae at the site have been unburied and replacements for the 2 damaged antennae have been acquired along with replacement cables and will be installed in the next couple of weeks.	jjwilson208
09/15/2017 12:50 PM	Replacement antennas installed at site. The new configuration only employs only 3 antennas due to the significant geomorphic change that occurred at the site during the spring of 2017 and the likelihood that the site will experience significant geomorphic change again in the spring of 2018. All antennas tuned and tested, site operating normally.	jjwilson208
10/23/2018 07:49 AM	All site components replaced/upgraded and installed. The site now consists of 2 rows of antennas with each row containing one 20- foot and one 10-foot HDPE antenna, installed in flat-plate configuration. Each antenna is powered by a Biomark IS1001 (ACN) and the ACNs are connected to a Biomark IS1001-MTS master controller. The antennas were built and installed by WDFW. The site is connected to grid power to charge the battery bank powering the detection system. A cellular modem is installed on site to provide remote communication and allow for automated data collection, however, only manual data collection from the IS1001-MTS will occur at ACB until further notice. Prior to the upgrade, the site consisted of three antennas powered by an FS1001M. A new site diagram and site description have been added to the site metadata page in Ptagis.	jjwilson208
