Interrogation Site Metadata

PRH - Priest Rapids Hatchery Outfall

Status: Active - Operational

Site Type: Instream Remote Detection System | Organization: Washington Dept. of Fish and Wildlife

General Operational Period: Year Round
Start Date: 5/16/2012 12:00 AM

This site is a permanent PIT tag detection system located in the Priest Rapids Hatchery outfall channel. The site is located just upstream of the typical point of inundation in the channel. All juvenile fish released and adults returning to the Priest Rapids Hatchery pass through the channel and the detection site. The site consists of six antennas in series, installed in pass-through configuration. Each antenna spans the wetted width of the channel. The antennas were built and installed by WDFW. The site is powered by a photovoltaic array. A Campbell Scientific CR-1000 and cellular phone modem are also installed at the site. Two temporary antennas may be installed upstream of the permanent array during extreme high water events.

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.

7/14/2022 2:52:00 PM	General	Antennas 1, 5, 6 are experiencing high noise due to dropped tags.
1/19/2022 8:56:00 AM	General	Site remained on but stopped reporting status due to problem with PUD direct internet connection. Problem is ongoing.
7/12/2018 10:32:00 AM	General	On 7-12-18 the temporary antennas, 01 02, and power supply were removed from the outfall channel above the permanent array. Data was downloaded on 7-12-18 and submitted on 7-16-18.
6/26/2017 1:00:00 PM	General	On 6/26/2017 the two temporary antennas, IS1001s, and the solar panels where removed from the Priest Rapids Hatchery outfall channel.
5/19/2017 10:00:00 AM	General	Due to higher than normal flows at the existing array, two temporary 10 foot antennas where installed in series in a pass-through configuration approximately 420 meters upstream of the existing PRH array. Each antenna spanned the wetted width of the channel. Both antennas where operated by 2 synchronized IS1001 readers and 24V DC battery bank connected to solar panels powered the detection system.
5/17/2017 7:49:00 AM	General	On 5/05/17 the GFCI breaker was tripped and the batteries slowly discharged. On 5/17/17 the GFCI was reset and all batteries were replaced.
