Interrogation Site Metadata
OMK - Omak Creek Instream Array
Status: Active - OperationalGeneral Operational Period: Year Round
Start Date: 1/1/2006 12:00 AM
OMK is a permanent PIT tag interrogation system in Omak Creek. Omak Creek enters the Okanogan River at RKM 51.5, approximately 1 km upstream from the city of Omak, WA. OMK is located 0.24 km from the confluence with the Okanogan River. In February 2011, the site consisted of 6 pass-over PVC antennas, in two separate rows. In January 2018, the instream array was reconfigured with four 10 foot HDPE antennas anchored to the stream bed for pass-over detection. Antennas are configured in 2 separate rows that span the wetted width at base flow. Each antenna is power by a Biomark IS1001 reader multiplexed by an IS1001-MC. The site is connected to grid power to charging two battery banks which in turn power the detection system. OMK has remote communication abilities provided by a cellular modem.

Configuration
Configuration metadata includes details about the equipment used at the site to detect and record PIT tags. A new configuration sequence record is created when equipment is added or removed from the site and the period of time it was active. A configuration sequence without an End Date is currently active.
