FYI, BO3 transceiver 01 is showing noise around 55%, way down from its usual 100%. All outstanding files on PC2 were archived. The temp folders on both PCs were emptied. The clocks on both PCs were set to within one second of atomic time. No other problems found. 11/23/2009 10:58 Don_Warf Per site EE: Next week, I am going to try to take down the SMF facility here at Bonneville briefly. It might be down for less than a 1/2 hour--that's including clearance time and the actual work time. We are starting to replace the Station Service Bus 1 and Bus 2 Switchgears in PH2 and that will have an impact on a lot of the Bonn fish facilities when changing over from one bus to another. The SMF will be about the first facility to be affected. If we wind up replacing both of the buses' switchgear, then we will have 3 more fairly "brief" interruptions at SMF during this IWWP. If we only wind up doing 1 bus's switchgear then we should only have one more interruption after the first one for SMF for this IWWP. Additionally, we will have at least a at least 2--maybe 4--fairly "brief" interruptions of the power for B2CC, Cascade Island, and Bradford Island pit tag antennas during this upcoming IWWP time. I can talk to you about it in more detail--hopefully sometime next week. The B2CC and Cascade Island interruptions should be really brief. It should just involve opening and closing the two buses' circuit bkrs in the North Tower ATS. I should be up to my neck in clearances fairly shortly. There's really no way to get around these interruptions, but we can hope to make them as brief as possible. I have already talked to our Project head biologist, Ben Hausmann about the SMF clearance. I've also talked with Gene Ballinger of SMF. They are both alright with the planned outage. I am hoping to do the SMF outage next Tuesday (11/24), but it willl depend on electrician availability. 11/22/2009 07:13 alan@bay 01:TestTagFailure,03:TestTagFailure,04:TestTagFailure: These transceivers appear to have drifted slightly out of tune, but are reading PIT tags well.

The transceivers were checked and adjusted for tuning, noise, and detectability. No problems were found. 10/07/2009 14:08 Troy All transceivers were checked and tuned. No problems found. Low efficiencies are most likely due to high water levels and fish jumping weir walls. 10/02/2009 10:13 scottl Performed site GMC, all transceivers were retuned and calibrated as necessary, no problems to report. Hit rates are all at 100 %. 09/21/2009 13:47 Alan I traveled to the sites to investigate recent low efficiencies on the slot antennas. The transceivers at both sites were only slightly out of tune. No noise issues are apparent. I noticed that the water level was very high at BO4, so much so that it spills from upstream to downstream weirs at times. While tuning 02 at BO4, a fish jumped into the grating that I was standing on. I suspect that fish are traversing the ladder without passing through our antennas. I spoke with Jon Rerecich, he informed me that the forebay is (and will continue to be) maintained higher than normal for construction being performed at The Dalles. The water level upstream of the counting window is dependant upon forebay level, but Jon said he will see if something can be done. I tuned the slots at both sites and verified that the panel heaters are on in each transceiver enclosure. No other problems to report. 09/20/2009 08:39 Troy Lower than expected effiencies seen on 01 today. Checked exciter report and everything seems to be in tune. May be the result of grouping. PSMFC will continue to monitor. 09/03/2009 12:07 Darren A site GMC was performed today 9-3-09. All transceivers were checked and adjusted for tuning, noise and detectability.

The UPS on transceiver 02 was replaced due to some noise that appeared to be coming from the UPS. The system was retuned. There does seem to still be a little noise on systems 02 and 03 but there optimized for maximum detection. No problems were discovered during this visit. 06/22/2009 10:58 Darren A site GMC was performed today 6-22-09. All transceivers were checked for tuning, noise, and detectability. Specific attention was placed on antenna 02 which had dropped in efficiencies. I was able to retune the system and optimize the detection ability but I noticed that some noise may be coming from the UPS that is installed. PSMFC will monitor this situation and make the necessary adjustments if and when needed. 06/19/2009 08:12 darren@b 01:TestTagFailure: There was no direct cause for this one event of an alarm.

PH2 units 12-17 have been restored as of 1600 and we are back to our 95K pattern. Fish unit 2 breaker was having issues and was not closing properly so we are still in the process of bringing that unit back in service. Per the e-mail and description below only units 12-17 were tripped of line not all ten as Tammy mentions. Unit 11 remains OOS for rotor pole issues and unit 18 was OOS today for Preferred AC panel installation. Power to the Smolt Monitoring building was restored around 1600 and DSM2 and it's associated orifices and add-in valves have been returned to normal at 1610. The Transformer Trip has been isolated to a signal from the BPA North Bonneville Substation. No work at the project caused this signal to trip the relay so we are in the process of identifying the source. I want to especially thank all project entities involved for their help and support but especially Mr. Brad Sharp and Mr. Dave Smith the L-grades in the Control room and Ray Guajardo, Steve Layn and Tom Cahill I-grades at PH1 and PH2 for their incredible professionalism and quick reactive thinking that allowed us to pull PH2 back online and restart critical hatchery wells in short order. Once I have a full understanding of all of the items and how things evolved I will send out a full e-mail with all of the details. Thanks, Dennis 04/28/2009 08:14 Darren This message was sent yesterday from Tammy Mackey site biologist for Bonneville Dam. Around 1400 on 27 April, it is believed T11/12 tripped, taking the Powerhouse Two offline (all ten turbines). With no turbine capacity at PH2, spill was increased to accommodate flows. At this time spill is roughly 250K. With the power outage, the DSM2 orifices closed, the STSs stopped traveling and the ERG tripped open. The add-in water continues to flow so fish are not stranded in the channel, however, there is no egress from the gatewells. There is no power to the JMF. The upper switchgate moved to the bypass position. The lower switchgate will remain in the high outfall position. The PIT tag detectors are without power, however all fish should have been flushed through by the flushing flow. The B2CC remains open, but the PIT tag detector may have lost power. For the adult fishway, there is no attraction flow from the fish units and the entrance gates, already in manual, are set where they are. The SLADDs are no longer making noise. The Main Dam fishways remain in operation as do all fish facilities at PH1. The Project if working to restore unit capability as quickly as possible. A completed Notification form will be sent once more details are known. Thank you, Tammy 04/23/2009 08:51 darren@b 01:LowExcCurrent,03:LowExcCurrent: Alarms were corrected during a site GMC. 04/16/2009 10:03 scottl Performed site GMC, all transcievers were tuned and calibrated as necessary.
