JOC - Joseph Creek ISA @ km 3

In-stream detection system consisting of a tandem array located in Joseph Creek. The array (JOC) located at river km 3 (N 46.030016, W -117.016042) consists of two arrays , deployed serially 10 m apart, of three 20 ft Biomark flat panel antennas and two 20 ft Biomark flat panel antennas, respectively. JOC is operated by the Integrated Status and Effectiveness Project (ISEMP) cooperators Nez Perce Tribe and Quantitative Consultants, Inc. and was installed for continuous monitoring on October 15, 2010. The array includes ISEMP standard site monitoring equipment including air and water temperature probes, and a water pressure transducer to monitor stream level. Electrical power is provided by a thermal electric generator and remote communication provided by a satellite modem.

Event Logs

Event Date	Comments	User
01/16/2014 01:58 PM	Antenna A4 lost current on 11-22-2013 and ceased to function. Antenna A5 lost current on 12-5-2013 and ceased to function. Both antennas were replaced on 1-15-2014 and are functioning.	Cameron1
09/30/2014 01:28 PM	Joseph Creek experienced a flood on March 10, 2014 that ripped out antennas A1 and A2 from the substrate and were never seen again. Antenna A4 was damaged beyond repair and was replaced 9/29/2014. JOC had three new 20 ft. antennas added below the old configuration of antenna A3, A4, and A5 to complete a tandem array. JOC now has a total of six antennas in the new configuration with A1, A2, and A3 being upstream and A3, A4, and A5 being downstream. The new configuration became fully operational and operating 17:00 September 30, 2014. JOC antenna tuning was completed 10:00 October 1, 2014.	Cameron1
10/04/2014 09:58 AM	JOC event log 9/30/14 falsely stated the new configuration relative to antenna placement. The new JOC configuration consists of an upstream array; A1, A2, and A3. The downstream array;A4, A5, and A6.	Cameron1
12/17/2014 09:54 AM	JOC array ran out of fuel on 12/06/14. Normal operations started on 12/17/14 at the JOC array and has run continuously without disruption	Cameron1
01/28/2016 09:57 AM	Joseph Creek Array antenna A1 began losing current on December 1, 2015 due water leaking inside the antenna. Antenna A1 was replaced with a new one on 1/28/16.	Cameron1
03/14/2016 07:35 AM	A severe rainstorm extinguished the thermo-electric generator (TEG) flame on 3/13/16 at 23:30. The TEG was re-started on 3/14/16 and normal operations resumed at 12:00. The site was down for a total of 12.5 hours.	Cameron1
11/16/2016 09:08 AM	Joseph Creek array (JOC) is functioning and operational without disruption through 11/16/16.	Cameron1
08/10/2017 08:04 AM	Joseph Creek Array (JOC) antennas A2, A4, and A5 were broken during the 2017 spring run off. All three antennas were replaced with new 20 ft. HDPE antennas. JOC has operated continuously without disruption through 8/15/17.	Cameron1
08/15/2018 02:27 PM	Joseph Creek array (JOC) Antenna A1 from the sites original configuration was uncovered during spring flows in 2018. It was believed to have been ripped from the substrate during a flood in 2014. This original antenna A1 was removed from Joseph Creek. Antenna A1 from the new configuration that has been in operation since 2014, had an aluminium shield installed on the upstream edge to alleviate antenna deck lid erosion. JOC is operating without disruption through 8/17/18.	Cameron1
10/10/2018 07:10 AM	Joseph Creek Array (JOC) had Campbell Scientific data logger replaced with a new data logger designed by Biomark on October 10, 2018. A new HughsNet satellite modem was also installed to replace the existing Globalstar satellite modem. JOC site air temperature probe was changed out for a compatible model. JOC is operating continuously without disruption through October 21, 2018.	Cameron1
