ICL - Lower Icicle Instream Array

Status:   Active - Operational
Site Type: Instream Remote Detection System  |  Organization: Washington Dept. of Fish and Wildlife
General Operational Period: Year Round
Start Date: 9/8/2011 1:07 PM

ICL is a permanent instream PIT tag interrogation site at RKM 0.4 on Icicle Creek. The site consists of two rows of antennas, with each row spanning the wetted width of the channel during base flows. Each row consists of six (three 20-foot and three 15-foot) PVC antennas, installed in flat-plate configuration. Each antenna is powered by a Biomark IS1001 (ACN) and the ACNs were connected to a QST QuBE ACN controller until August 2019 when the QuBE was replaced with a Biomark IS1001 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. A submersible pressure transducer and temperature probes were installed on site until August 2019 when they were removed.
