Fish Passage Sediment Flush February 9

 

Gates #2 and #3 were raised at 9-Feb to flush out sediment along the fish passage (figures 1 & 2).  Upstream water depth was increased up to approximately 4.31 ft on the PLC screen.  After this sediment flushing, gates #1, #2, #3, and #18 were lowered, and then the water depth set 3.08 ft.
