Application Status: Application Complete
Project Title: Renew: Ongoing Monitoring and Rescue and Relocation of ESA-listed Fishes in California's Central Valley.
Project Status: Renewal
Previous Federal or State Permit/Authorization: 18181-3A
Permit/Authorization Requested:
  • ESA Section 10(a)(1)(A) permit (Pacific fish/invertebrate enhancement)
Where will activities occur? California (including offshore waters)
State department of fish and game/wildlife:   Project will be carried out by CDFW
Research Timeframe: Start: 01/01/2021    End: 12/31/2025
Sampling Season/Project Duration: 
Permit 18181-4R will cover the following monitoring and rescue activities in the Central Valley:
1) Juvenile emigration monitoring in the Sacramento River at Knights Landing (river mile [RM] 88.5), Tisdale Weir (RM 119.5), a Delta Entry site (between RM 62-73), and in the Lower Feather River within the High Flow Channel (HFC) will occur annually from August through June.
2) Adult trapping for the Steelhead Monitoring Program in the Sacramento River between Clarksburg (RM 42) and Knights Landing (RM 93) will occur year-round, as conditions allow.
3) The Upper Sacramento River Restoration Site Monitoring will occur from Keswick Dam (RM 302) downstream to the Red Bluff Diversion Dam (RM 243) annually at restoration sites, as needed.
4) Fish salvage and rescue operations including rescues within bypasses (Yolo and Sutter), agricultural canals and drainages (Wallace Weir, Colusa Basin Drainage Canal), and Upper Sacramento redd dewatering and juvenile stranding surveys.
Abstract: 
CDFW proposes to carry out rescues, research, and monitoring activities in California’s Central Valley. Juvenile salmonid emigration monitoring will occur using paired 8-foot rotary screw traps (RSTs) along the Sacramento River at various sites and at one site within the Lower Feather River from August through June of the following year. Data will be collected on the emigration timing, race composition, and abundance of juvenile salmonids entering the lower Sacramento River and Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.

The Steelhead Monitoring Program will utilize wire fyke traps to capture, mark, and recapture upstream migrating adult steelhead in order to estimate adult steelhead escapement and migration timing from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Fyke trapping will occur year-round as conditions allow. 

The Upper Sacramento River Restoration Site Monitoring will involve juvenile presence/absence surveys at a variety of sites on the Upper Sacramento River, upstream of the Red Bluff Diversion Dam. The monitoring will occur year-round and will establish baseline use at proposed restoration sites to help determine the success once restoration projects are implemented. 

CDFW will also assess entrainment of ESA-listed salmonids and green sturgeon resulting from extreme environmental conditions and complex water operations within California's Central Valley. Prior to conducting fish rescue operations, CDFW will assess the conditions leading to stranding and/or entrainment and determine whether rescue and relocation activities are warranted. In some instances (i.e. trapping operations at Wallace Weir Facility), CDFW aims to prevent entrainment by trapping and relocating adult fish species of concern before they encounter inhospitable conditions. Other times, entrainment results from environmental conditions such as flooding or drought.

Transport Information
1.  
Mode(s) of Transportation: Fish will be placed into 350-400 gallon CDFW fish transport trucks for release into the Lower Sacramento River near Tisdale Weir in Sutter County, CA. One or two fish transport tanks will be used depending on the number of salmon relocated per day.
Transportation Company: CDFW Fish Transport Trucks will be used.
Maximum amount of time
between capture and arrival:		 The trapping location will be approximately 14 miles downstream of the release location. Once fish are captured, processed and loaded into trucks, travel and release time should be less than one hour.
Container Description: 350-400 gallon CDFW Fish Transport Trucks will be used.
Special Care: 
Water temperature and dissolved oxygen levels will be closely monitored.
Accompanying Personnel Qualifications: 
Fish will be accompanied by well-trained Fisheries Biologists and Environmental Scientists from the various fish regulatory agencies (CDFW, USFWS, NMFS, etc.)
Facility Title: Tisdale Weir and Boat Launch
Facility Affiliation/Organization:
Address: Sutter County, CA UNITED STATES
Phone Number:
Containment Method: N/A
Final Disposition: 
Fish will be released directly into the Sacramento River. Upon release, a gate covering a large opening at the back of the transport truck will be removed allowing for the volitional release of fish eliminating the need for additional handling.
2.  
Mode(s) of Transportation: Rescue efforts will involve the use of a one-ton flat-bed truck fitted with a 200 gallon oxygenated water tank to transport rescued fish and release into the Sacramento River.
Transportation Company: CDFW Fish Transport Trucks will be used and operated by qualified CDFW staff.
Maximum amount of time
between capture and arrival:		 Transport time should be no more than 1-2 hours, as fish will be relocated to the nearest suitable location on the Sacramento River.
Container Description: A one-ton flat-bed truck fitted with a 200 gallon oxygenated water tank will be used to transport rescued salmonids.
Special Care: 
The 200 gallon tank will be filled half with Sacramento River water and half with water from the rescue site/creek to acclimate the captured fish.  Ice will be supplied to maintain tank water temperatures below 17.2 degrees Celsius.
Accompanying Personnel Qualifications: 
Fish will be accompanied by well-trained Fisheries Biologists and Environmental Scientists from the various fish regulatory agencies (CDFW, USFWS, NMFS, etc.)
Facility Title: Sycamore Boat Launch below the Red Bluff Diversion Dam
Facility Affiliation/Organization:
Address: River Mile (RM) 243
Red Bluff, CA UNITED STATES
Phone Number:
Containment Method: N/A
Final Disposition: 
Rescued fish will be relocated and released at the Sycamore Boat Launch downstream from the Red Bluff Diversion Dam (RM 243) or the nearest suitable release location on the Upper Sacramento River.
