On May 3, 8156 fish were bypassed instead of transported because the raceways were at capacity. Transportation stopped after the June 15 barge due to the failure of a loading boom. All fish were bypassed starting on June 16, the last two barge trips scheduled for June 17 and 19 were cancelled due to a broken loading boom.

PSMFC was on site to perform a GMC as well as address the comms issue with transceiver A2. The spare jumper from enclosure 07/08 was used and verified from PITtag room to the fiber coming from the diffuser room and still cannot send commands but am receiving data. We will need to address this next week when we can have someone on the other end of the diffuser room fiber to verify pairs to try. No other issues were discovered during this check. |

On site for the initial weekly gate check for the season. All pressure was checked to see where it was set for the season. All gates were set to 75 PSI by the site and the gates were tuned to this pressure setting. After checking the travel of all gates, the soft close valve and the timing of the gates were adjusted for optimal travel. Sticks were dropped with 100% accuracy for diverting the sticks. The system is ready for the season. |

Caled Startouch and they say it looks like a power problem or the radio is dead facing the upstream tower. Called the LGR office and left message regarding power status near and around the lock gate booth. They was a UPS down woth the ST equipment but I think we removed it because it was old and not working but wud have confirm this. Star touch is looking into this also , More status when available |
