Common use of Tributary Barrier Confirmation and Removal Clause in Contracts

Tributary Barrier Confirmation and Removal. Tributaries to Lake Chelan will be monitored by site visits and photo monitoring in 2015 by the CPUD to ensure that connectivity to the lake and upstream migration access to spring spawning westslope cutthroat trout is maintained. Photographs of tributary mouths will be taken in late March when the lake elevation is near its’ lowest point to document tributary mouth upstream passage conditions. On-the-ground reconnaissance may be conducted to ascertain the type and extent of the passage barrier if photo monitoring indicates the presence of a passage barrier (water depth, water velocity, gradient).

Tributary Barrier Confirmation and Removal. Tributaries to Lake Chelan will be monitored by site visits and photo photo-monitoring in 2015 2014 by the CPUD to ensure that connectivity to the lake and upstream migration access to spring spawning westslope cutthroat trout is maintained. Photographs of tributary mouths will be taken in late March when the lake elevation is near its’ lowest point to document tributary mouth upstream passage conditions. OnIf photo-the-ground reconnaissance may be conducted to ascertain the type and extent of the passage barrier if photo monitoring indicates the presence of a passage barrier (water depth, water velocity, gradient)) in a tributary, then on-the- ground reconnaissance may be conducted to ascertain the type and extent of the passage barrier.

Tributary Barrier Confirmation and Removal. Tributaries to Lake Chelan will be monitored by site visits and photo monitoring in 2015 2016 by the CPUD to ensure that connectivity to the lake and upstream migration access to spring spawning westslope cutthroat trout WCT is maintained. Photographs of tributary mouths (First, 25-Mile, Gold, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Grade, Safety Harbor, Railroad, Fish and Prince creeks) will be taken in late March when the lake elevation is near its’ lowest point to document tributary mouth upstream passage conditions. On-the-ground reconnaissance may be conducted to ascertain the type and extent of the passage barrier if photo monitoring indicates the presence of a passage barrier (water depth, water velocity, gradient). Photo documentation of tributary mouth conditions for 2016 will be included in the Tributary Barriers Photographs, 2008-2016 report (Chelan PUD 2016). Table 28: 377.
