LAW - Lawyer Creek Seasonal IPTDS
Status: Active - OperationalGeneral Operational Period: Seasonally
Start Date: 2/9/2023 12:00 AM
Lawyer Creek is a tributary of the lower Clearwater River, Idaho. The confluence of Lawyer Creek is on the west side of the Clearwater River at river kilometer 109. Lawyers Creek is about 41 miles long, draining 137,360 acres, and is considered a major spawning area for Snake River summer steelhead within the Lower Mainstem Clearwater steelhead population. The Lawyer Creek interrogation site was installed as a temporary and seasonal site at river kilometer 1.5 to estimate steelhead abundance within the Lawyer Creek spawning aggregate because an interrogation site downstream of the Lower Mainstem Clearwater capable of providing a population estimate for the population does not exist.

Breaker on solar controller was tripped, and reader was off. Possibly due to heavy rainfall or lightning that has occurred over the last few days. Turned breaker back on and incoming voltage was between 60-72 volts. Will let charge and check on 11/8/2023. |

Present noise on node 02 was 51% upon checking it today. Performed a full tune and it dropped to 7%. On checking it on 5/18/2023, noise was 7%. Could be due to water cascading down off the downstream side of the antenna? |
