<strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> WUP Monitoring 2008/2009<br />

Executive Summary<br />

In the fall of 2008 and in the spring of 2009, Cambria Gordon (CGL), Metlakatla <strong>Fish</strong>eries and<br />

Esther Guimond began collecting baseline data in the tailpond at the <strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong>’s <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> facility,<br />

in order to monitor outcomes of recommended operational changes as part of <strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong>’s <strong>Water</strong><br />

Licence requirements. This report summarizes the baseline data gathered for Year 1 of a proposed<br />

3-year study, and is a component of a larger 5-year <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Use</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> (WUP) monitoring program.<br />

Field work for Year 2 of the study is planned for September of 2009.<br />

Main Objectives<br />

The following report outlines our initial efforts to assist <strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong> to answer the key management<br />

question identified in the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> WUP:<br />

Do the minimum flows (6.5 cms from August 1 st to October 15 th during the salmon spawning period<br />

and 2.6 cms 1 for all other periods – i.e., incubation period for Chinook and coho) under the WUP<br />

operations produce adequate habitat conditions for egg-to-fry survival?<br />

The primary objective of the monitoring program is to reduce uncertainty related to the benefits of<br />

the minimum flows to the incubation of Chinook salmon eggs in <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong>. The ultimate objective of<br />

this study over the long term is to assess the outcomes of recommended operation changes (changes<br />

in flow regimes) to provide information on which to base future operation decisions, as outlined in<br />

the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> <strong>Project</strong> WUP Monitoring Program Terms of Reference (ToR) (<strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong> 2006a). This<br />

study represents one of several monitoring programs recommended by the Consultative Committee<br />

(<strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong> 2003), which are conducted according the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> Order under the <strong>Water</strong> Act (April<br />

2006).<br />

Critical Methods<br />

Egg incubation habitat information and physicochemical parameters (relating to both physical and<br />

chemical) were gathered on three survey dates between September 23 rd , 2008 and May 15 th , 2009.<br />

Survey dates were parallel with Chinook egg/fry development: eyed stage (September/October),<br />

hatch stage (November/December) and emergence stage (April/May). Timing of Chinook egg/fry<br />

development stages was predicted with estimated spawning timing and water temperature data<br />

(calculated Accumulated Thermal Units – ATUs). Sample sites (n=9) were chosen within two<br />

incubation areas and one control area. Physicochemical data, including dissolved oxygen (DO -<br />

mg/L), water temperature ( 0 C), conductivity (mS/cm), pH and salinity (ppt) were gathered at each<br />

sample site over the survey period. In addition to physicochemical parameters, modified Wolman<br />

pebble counts were conducted at each sample site to determine substrate composition and to<br />

monitor any temporal changes. In order to monitor water levels in the tailpond and develop a<br />

stage/discharge relationship through the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> facility (turbine and spillway discharge), a<br />

pressure transducer and water temperature probe, connected to a datalogger were installed along<br />

the right bank adjacent to the incubation areas. Two Tid-bit TM (redundancy in case one failed)<br />

temperature loggers were also installed as back-up to the Unidata temperature probe.<br />

1 If the reservoir elevation drops below 88.4 m, turbine discharge will be reduced to 1.3 cms to conserve water and ensure<br />

that some flows to the river can be maintained (<strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong> 2006a)<br />

Key Results<br />

The intragravel physicochemical parameters monitored during the sampling periods were all within a<br />

suitable range to support incubating salmon eggs. Dissolved oxygen ranged from a low of 9.6 mg/L<br />

to a high of 12.3 mg/L over 8 sample sites (control area had DO of 8.3 mg/L) (the <strong>BC</strong> guideline for<br />

intragravel oxygen include an instantaneous minimum of 6 mg/L and a 30-day mean not lower than<br />

8 mg/L; RIC 1998). The intragravel pH levels ranged from 7.4 to 7.9 (aquatic life generally<br />

supported in the range 6.5-9.0; RIC 1998). <strong>Water</strong> temperatures ranged from an average daily low<br />

of 0.2 0 C to an average daily high of 10.7 0 C over the baseline sampling period. Intragravel water<br />

temperatures and water column water temperatures were very similar for all sample sites. Salinity<br />

levels were not significant (0.05) between sites. A<br />

wide range of particle sizes were observed for incubation areas 1 and 2 (4 mm – 64 mm), with area<br />

2 showing a slightly larger cumulative distribution for large particle sizes. Overall, the incubation<br />

areas selected have adequate substrate for Chinook spawning.<br />

Contextualization<br />

Seasonal minimum flows recommended by the Consultative Committee (CC) for the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> WUP<br />

are based, in part, on estimated spawning timing for adult salmon and steelhead in the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong>.<br />

The influence of these WUP flows on spawning and egg incubation; however, are highly uncertain as<br />

they were estimated from models with uncertain parameter estimates (Appendix G of <strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong><br />

2003). The current (2008/2009) study, and future monitoring for <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> <strong>Fish</strong> Spawning Habitat<br />

in the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> tailpond, is directed at reducing this uncertainty, in order to guide future operating<br />

decisions.<br />

<strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> WUP Monitoring 2008/2009<br />

1 INTRODUCTION<br />

Seasonal minimum flows recommended by the Consultative Committee (CC) for the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong><br />

<strong>Water</strong> <strong>Use</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> (WUP) are based, in part, on estimated spawning timing for adult salmon and<br />

steelhead in the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong>. The influence of these WUP flows on spawning and egg incubation;<br />

however, are highly uncertain as they were estimated from models with uncertain parameter<br />

estimates (Appendix G of <strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong> 2003). The current (2008/2009) study, and future monitoring<br />

for <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> <strong>Fish</strong> Spawning Habitat in the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> tailpond, is directed at reducing this<br />

uncertainty, in order to guide future operating decisions.<br />

Cambria Gordon Ltd. (CGL) and Metlakatla <strong>Fish</strong>eries were retained by <strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong> to conduct fish<br />

spawning habitat monitoring at <strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong>’s <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> hydroelectric project, in order to fulfill a<br />

component of <strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong>’s <strong>Water</strong> License requirements for 2008. This report summarizes Year 1 of<br />

a proposed 3 year study, and is a component of a larger 5 year <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Use</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> (WUP) monitoring<br />

program. Field work for Year 2 of the study is planned for September of 2009.<br />

The following report outlines our initial efforts to assist <strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong> to answer the key management<br />

question identified in the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> WUP:<br />

Do the minimum flows for salmon spawning and egg incubation provided under the WUP<br />

operations produce adequate habitat conditions for egg-to-fry survival? Relating flow<br />

(from this point on referred to as discharge) to water depth and velocity; for the<br />

recommended minimum flows, is a minimum water depth of 0.05 m and minimum<br />

velocity of 0.02 m/s maintained over Chinook redds during the incubation period?<br />

The ultimate objective of this study over the long-term is to assess the outcomes of recommended<br />

operation changes (changes in discharge regimes) to provide information on which to base future<br />

operation decisions, as outlined in the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> <strong>Project</strong> WUP Monitoring Program Terms of<br />

Reference (ToR) (<strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong> 2006a).<br />

1.1 Study Area<br />

<strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong>’s <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> facility is located approximately 50 km southeast of Prince Rupert on the <strong>Falls</strong><br />

<strong>River</strong>, which is a right bank tributary to the Ecstall <strong>River</strong> (Figure 1). The project has a single<br />

reservoir, located above a large, natural rock waterfall. Two penstocks carry water to turbines<br />

located in the powerhouse at the base of the falls. <strong>Water</strong> is discharged from the turbines into the<br />

tailpond, which extends from the base of the falls to the top of a tidal rapid approximately 175 m<br />

downstream. The tailpond is approximately 100 m wide by 200 m long (1.5 ha) and is the focus<br />

area for the study (Figures 2 and 3). Baseline incubation sample locations were selected along the<br />

right bank (river right – north side) of the tailpond. Site access is by boat, float plane or helicopter<br />

only. Float plane access is restricted at tide heights below 1.5 m during low flow periods on the<br />

Ecstall and <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong>s.<br />

1.2 Periodicity Review and Incubation Assessment<br />

1.2.1 Periodicity Review<br />

A periodicity review was conducted in 2007; a component of a report written for <strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong> as part<br />

of a 5 year <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Use</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> (WUP) monitoring program (CGL and Metlakatla <strong>Fish</strong>eries, 2007),<br />

focusing on historic and anecdotal fish presence, migration and spawning timing information for<br />

steelhead, Chinook, chum, coho and pink salmon for the Ecstall and <strong>Falls</strong> rivers.<br />

Results of the review that focused on Chinook salmon are summarized below.<br />

Migration into the Ecstall <strong>River</strong> occurs in late July and August. Spawning occurs in early September<br />

(FISS). Migration into the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> system occurs in late August; spawning begins late in August<br />

and peaks in early September and may continue through October (FISS). Chinook spawners and<br />

redds have been noted in the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> tailpond in late August and early September by a variety of<br />

sources (Redenbach 1981; Hickey 1981; Bullock, R. pers. comm.; William Beynon, pers. comm.).<br />

Chinook presence and spawning has been recorded in the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> tailpond at the base of the falls,<br />

below the powerhouse and in gravel areas downstream between 1955 and 2003. Observations<br />

typically occur between August 12 th and September 22 nd ; however dates are not provided for some<br />

years (DFO, <strong>BC</strong> 16’s Summary Sheet).<br />

<strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong> staff indicated that a detailed fisheries assessment, focused on potential habitat<br />

rehabilitation at the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> facility, was completed in 1980 (B. Mossop, pers. comm. - 2007 re:<br />

Redenbach 1981). During the Redenbach (1981) study, bright Chinook were angled and observed<br />

in the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> between August 20 th and 30 th , 1980. In the following year, from August 7 th to<br />

September 23, 1981, a total of 15 possible salmon redds were noted in the tailpond, including 2<br />

confirmed Chinook spawning pairs (Hickey 1981).<br />

Between April and October, 2007 and during the same period in 2008, a total of 14 snorkel and<br />

angling surveys were conducted for <strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong> as part of a 5 year <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Use</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> (WUP) monitoring<br />

program (CGL and Metlakatla <strong>Fish</strong>eries 2007; CGL and Metlakatla <strong>Fish</strong>eries 2008). No adult<br />

steelhead or salmon were viewed in the tailpond during these surveys.<br />

For the purposes of this study, we used an estimated spawning timing for Chinook salmon from mid<br />

August until late September to help plan timing of field work.<br />

1.2.2 Incubation Assessment<br />

In 2003/2004 <strong>Fish</strong>eries and Oceans Canada (DFO) and Northcoast Environment conducted a<br />

Chinook incubation study in the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> tailpond, in follow-up to a feasibility study conducted in<br />

2002 (Miller et al., 2002). During this study, one pair of Chinook spawners and 7 redds (assumed<br />

to be from Chinook and pink salmon) were observed in the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> tailpond in early September,<br />

2003 (Figure 4). The study team noted that redds located in the tailpond were flattened by spilling<br />

outflows, and were no longer visible the next day. For the incubation component of the study, 22<br />

Jordan Scotty cassettes with 200 Chinook (fertilized on site) eggs per cassette were buried at 4 sites<br />

(Figure 4) on September 9th, 2003. Table 1 displays the percent survival rate to eyed, and hatch<br />

stages found on survey dates conducted on January 13th and March 3 rd of 2004.<br />

To reduce uncertainty in terms of egg to fry survival, a portion of the eggs from the Chinook doe<br />

(1900) and milt from two Chinook males, used for the egg-take at <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong>, were flown to Deep<br />

Creek Hatchery near Terrace, fertilized and placed in heath trays to act as a control. Egg to fry<br />

survival at the hatchery for the control group, was noted to be good (Miller and Northcoast<br />

Environmental, 2004, unpublished data). Table 2 shows the water column physicochemical<br />

parameters gathered during the study. Note: intragravel physicochemical data was not gathered<br />

during this study. Table 3 shows the average water velocity and average water depth data gathered<br />

at select sites (see Figure 4 for sites and locations).<br />

Overall Site 1 had the highest survival rate to March 3, 2004, which may be a result of potentially<br />

higher dissolved oxygen in relation to the site’s proximity to outflow from the turbines, and the<br />

higher potential for sediment flushing at this site. This is purely speculation as the baseline data<br />

collected is limited to a few points.<br />

2 METHODS<br />

2.1 Survey Design<br />

The primary measures of interest for the 3-year Habitat Monitoring Survey will be to investigate:<br />

1) Relative egg-to-fry survival across sample sites over time;<br />

2) The relationship between egg-to-fry survival at sample sites and water flow/discharge; and<br />

3) The relationship between physicochemical parameters at sample sites and water<br />

flow/discharge.<br />

Year 1 will assess only the physicochemical parameters and years 2/3 will assess both<br />

physicochemical parameters and Chinook egg-to-fry survival.<br />

In the present study (Year 1), priorities for survey design include:<br />

1) The selection of study sites; and<br />

2) The measurement of characteristics of incubation habitat (substrate composition and<br />

physicochemical parameters).<br />

Incubation areas that were selected represent a range of physical habitat typical to Chinook spawning<br />

habitat in <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong>. Baseline spawning habitat information (water depth/temperature,<br />

physicochemical parameters, substrate size and composition, discharge) was collected in the tailpond<br />

at the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> facility to assess the overall quality of salmon egg/fry incubation habitat and<br />

measure factors that are known to affect egg/fry incubation.<br />

Data collection in the study area was timed to coincide with low tide in order to access the sites<br />

without the use of SCUBA gear.<br />

2.1.1 Incubation area/Site Selection<br />

The selected incubation area locations were based on two site visits conducted prior to the initial<br />

baseline site visit. At the first site meeting, in June of 2008, which included Karla Robison and Brent<br />

Mossep from <strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong>, Lana Miller from the Department of <strong>Fish</strong>eries and Oceans, and Esther<br />

Guimond, a consultant on the project, overall site logistics in terms of accessing areas efficiently and<br />

safely were discussed as well as reviewing Lana Miller’s 2003 incubation study. From this meeting it<br />

was decided that three incubation areas would be selected on the right bank, eliminating the need to<br />

ferry equipment across to the left bank, and thus maximizing time spent during the available low tide<br />

window. A second site visit conducted in September of 2008, during which site conditions allowed<br />

for survey work on substrate depth along the right, bank, narrowed the selection to two incubation<br />

areas, both in close proximity to a incubation area used in the 2003/2004 incubation study (Site<br />

#2, see Figure 4). Overall incubation area selection was based on:<br />

Cambria Gordon and Metlakata <strong>Fish</strong>eries 8


<strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> WUP Monitoring 2008/2009<br />

� Gravel depth and quality; and<br />

� Access to the shore, which would allow for efficient and safe monitoring during the low tide<br />

window (approximately 2 hours).<br />

Gravel depths were measured during a September 23 rd site visit, where piezometer installation was<br />

tested at several locations on the right bank near the bedrock outcrop. The installation of the<br />

piezometers indirectly resulted in a survey of gravel depth as; during installation, bedrock was<br />

reached at several locations when attempting to install the piezometers. In addition to substrate<br />

depth, a coarse visual estimate of the size range of gravels encountered was conducted in<br />

accordance to the substrate requirements for Chinook spawning (i.e. gravel sizes in the range 25 –<br />

305 mm - Hanrahan et al., 2004).<br />

2.1.2 Survey Timing<br />

Based on a periodicity review conducted in 2007 (CGL and Metlakatla <strong>Fish</strong>eries 2007), expected<br />

peak Chinook salmon spawning occurs in late August and early September. Data were collected<br />

during three survey periods between September 23 rd , 2008 and May 15 th , 2009). Survey dates were<br />

parallel with important stages of Chinook egg/fry development: eyed stage (September/October),<br />

hatch stage (November/December) and emergence stage (April/May). Timing of Chinook egg/fry<br />

development stages (eyed, hatch, and fry emergence) was predicted (Figure 9) with estimated<br />

spawning timing of Chinook salmon and water temperature data (calculated Accumulated Thermal<br />

Units – ATUs) collected from temperature loggers (described in section 2.2.5).<br />

To predict the timing of Chinook egg hatch and fry emergence for year 2 of the current study, water<br />

temperature data (available from September 23, 2008 to May 15, 2009), were converted into<br />

accumulated thermal units (ATUs), where one degree Celsius in one day is equal to one ATU. The<br />

15 minute interval temperature dataset was averaged over one day, and ATUs were calculated.<br />

2.2 Intragravel/Physicochemical Parameters<br />

Based on the initial survey design, Piezometers were installed at depths of 25 cm – 40 cm in the<br />

stream substratum (which is analogous to depths of incubation cassettes (Chinook redd) to be<br />

installed in year 2). The procedure for piezometer installation was based on that described by Baxter<br />

et al. (2003) and is further described in Appendix IV. After initial installation of the piezometers on<br />

September 23 rd , 2008 and on October 27 th , 2008, obtaining samples from the piezometers was not<br />

possible due to a slow re-charge rate. Furthermore, during the February 19 th , 2009 survey date, it<br />

was discovered that two of the installed piezometers in incubation area 2 (H) and at the control area<br />

had been dislodged from the substrate (due to high flow conditions and/or ice movement). Three of<br />

the four remaining piezometers at incubation area 2 had been bent from high flow conditions, and<br />

were no longer functional in terms of intragravel sampling (see Figure 5).<br />

<strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> WUP Monitoring 2008/2009<br />

Figure 5: Photos displaying piezometers bent by high flow (Incubation area 2)<br />

In the current study, a metal sampling syringe was used to extract intragravel water samples from the<br />

hyporheic zone to measure dissolved oxygen (DO), conductivity, temperature (C) and pH (see Figure<br />

6). The metal sampling syringe was used in place of sampling from the piezometers and was utilized<br />

throughout the sampling period at all the sample site locations to maintain consistency amongst<br />

sampling locations. Piezometers were left in place at sample sites and will be utilized as indicators of<br />

sample sites (i.e., place-markers).<br />

The metal sampling syringe has three major components: (1) a perforated probe end, (2) a water<br />

collection chamber, and (3) a plunger (Figure 6). The probe end of the syringe was pushed as deep<br />

as possible (20 – 28 cm) into the substrate to extract hyporheic water (Figure 7b and 7c). <strong>Water</strong> was<br />

extracted by pulling on the plunger and was then placed into a 250 ml graduated cylinder to obtain<br />

physicochemical measurements. The syringe was also used to sample water column samples at the<br />

time of installation to look at any equipment bias between non-syringe water column samples. This<br />

syringe method did not allow for estimates of vertical hydraulic gradient (VHG) and hydraulic<br />

conductivity (K).<br />

In order to maintain consistency and allow for comparison between study years, the metal sampling<br />

syringe will be used in years 2 and 3.<br />

Figure 6: Metal sampling syringe used to extract intragravel samples.<br />

<strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> WUP Monitoring 2008/2009<br />

The following physicochemical parameters were measured during each visit:<br />

2.2.1 Dissolved Oxygen<br />

<strong>Water</strong> column and intragravel dissolved oxygen was measured (in mg/L) at each sample site using a<br />

YSI Pro Plus multi-meter. Note triplicate measurements were not always possible at all sites, due to<br />

tidal backflow, which limited the amount of sampling time in the tailpond.<br />

2.2.2 Conductivity<br />

Conductivity (ms/cm) was measured on intragravel and water column samples collected at each<br />

sample site using a YSI Pro Plus multi-meter.<br />

2.2.3 pH<br />

<strong>Water</strong> pH was measured on intragravel and water column samples collected at each sample site<br />

using an Oakton waterproof pHTestr.<br />

2.2.4 Salinity<br />

Salinity was tested in the water column at the time of installation of the piezometers using a YSI Pro<br />

Plus multi-meter. Salinity was not collected at all sample dates, as an initial reading (ppt) of 0.0<br />

(rising tide). Further salinity sampling will be conducted in year 2 to confirm the absence of a salt<br />

wedge, as noted by Miller and Northcoast Environment (2003) and Hickey (1981).<br />

2.2.5 <strong>Water</strong> Temperature<br />

To determine water temperatures in the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> tailpond, a Unidata 15k ohm water temperature<br />

probe was installed. The temperature probe senses every 1 minute, logs every 15 minutes and is<br />

time stamped in PST (GMT-8). The memory capacity at this interval is estimated at 424 days (see<br />

Figure 7 for site photos of the installation and Appendix III for a detailed description of the probe<br />

installation). In addition, two Tid-bit TM temperature loggers (redundancy in case one failed) were<br />

installed to measure intragravel temperature and served as back-up to the Unidata temperature<br />

probe. The water temperature probe is housed in a 5’ aluminum pipe. This pipe is rock bolted to a<br />

large rock on the right bank. The cables are protected in flexible aluminum conduit and terminate<br />

inside an aluminum shelter which houses the data storage unit (Figures 7 and 10).<br />

Data from the temperature probe were downloaded from the data storage unit onto a laptop<br />

(Starlogger V.3 software) during two subsequent visits following initial installation. Temperature data<br />

was used to calculate the accumulated thermal units (ATU - daily mean temperature multiplied by<br />

the number of days of incubation) which are used to predict hatch and emergence timing of Chinook<br />

eggs.<br />

2.3 <strong>Water</strong> Depth and Discharge<br />

Adequate water levels are essential throughout salmon egg/fry incubation to ensure redds are wetted<br />

(to avoid desiccation) and to prevent freezing of eggs. To determine water depth at incubation areas<br />

1 and 2 in the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> tailpond, a Keller 2.5 v 5.0 m pressure transducer (a continuous recording<br />

Cambria Gordon and Metlakata <strong>Fish</strong>eries 11


<strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> WUP Monitoring 2008/2009<br />

device) was installed on September 23 rd , 2008 on river right (Figures 7 and 10). Due to concerns of<br />

high flow conditions and the possibility of snagging of the conduit tubing from debris and/or ice,<br />

installation of the pressure transducer at either of the 2 incubation areas selected was not practical.<br />

The water temperature probe is housed in a 5’ aluminum pipe. This pipe is rock bolted to a large<br />

rock on the right bank. The cables are protected in flexible aluminum conduit and terminate inside<br />

an aluminum shelter which houses the data storage unit (Figure 7).<br />

Three benchmark elevations were established to instill confidence in the accuracy of water depth<br />

readings. Permanent rock bolts were installed in the vicinity of the pressure transducer and known<br />

elevations (from tailpond substrate level) were determined with a survey rod and level (1.451 m,<br />

1.798 m, 1.117m). Benchmarks were adjusted to the pressure transducer zero at 0.000 m on<br />

September 23, 2008. At the time of installation, the depth was 0.826 m. Accuracy of water depth<br />

readings from the pressure transducer were confirmed by cross-referencing with actual water depth<br />

readings taken with a rod and level at the three known benchmark elevations and water surface<br />

elevation.<br />

<strong>Water</strong> depths were recorded every 15 minutes at the pressure transducer location. The transducer<br />

was installed at a substrate depth that is lower than the stream substrates at incubation areas 1 and<br />

2. Actual water depth was measured at each sample site using the graduations on the wading rod.<br />

(see Figure 8a). Average hourly water depths at each incubation area can be estimated with the<br />

following equations:<br />

Incubation area 1: Avg water depth = Actual water depth (transducer) – 19 cm<br />

Incubation area 2: Avg water depth = Actual water depth (transducer) – 42 cm<br />

<strong>Water</strong> depth in the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> tailpond is also influenced by a semidiurnal tidal cycle. Hourly tidal<br />

heights at Prince Rupert were obtained from <strong>Fish</strong>eries and Oceans Canada (http://www.lau.chsshc.gc.ca/english/Canada.shtml)<br />

to examine the tidal influence on water depth measurements in the<br />

study area and are included in Appendix II.<br />

2.3.1 <strong>Water</strong> Velocity and Discharge levels<br />

<strong>Water</strong> velocity was measured at each sample site (n=9) using a propeller-type flow-meter (Swoffer<br />

Model 3000) mounted to a 2.0 m wading rod. Readings were taken at 0.6 of the depth with the<br />

Swoffer meter set to display a 40-second average.<br />

<strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong> provided average hourly discharge levels (cms) which included the power generating<br />

outflow through the turbines and the non-power generating flow over the spillway.<br />

2.3.2 Data Analysis<br />

To analyze the effect of total discharge rate on water levels, tidal influence was detached from the<br />

water depth data in the study area. Hourly tide chart readings (Appendix II) were cross referenced<br />

with actual water levels (hourly data obtained from the pressure transducer) and tidal peaks<br />

(considered ‘noise’) were manually identified. Data points which were exaggerated by tidal influence<br />

were excluded from the data-set to reduce noise and augment the underlying data analysis.<br />

Pearson’s product-moment correlation analyses were then applied to the discharge/water level data<br />

to determine if a linear relation exists between total discharge levels and water depth in the tailpond.<br />

2.4 Substrate Composition (Wolman Pebble Counts)<br />

The particle size characteristics and potential temporal changes of particle size at each sample site<br />

were assessed using modified Wolman pebble counts (Wolman 1954). The Wolman pebble count<br />

involves a surveyor following a transect across a river stream width with heel/toe steps, picking up<br />

the first particle touched by a pointed index finger at the tip of the boot. This is performed until 100<br />

particles are measured. Since our study areas and sample sites were relatively small, we used a grab<br />

technique where the observer sampled as much substrate at each sample site (n=9), that could be<br />

held in both hands. The sample was then taken to the shoreline, where the intermediate diameter of<br />

each selected particle was measured with a gravelometer (a piece of aluminum metal with 14 square<br />

holes of common sieve sizes (1/2-phi unit classes) ranging from 2 mm to 180 mm). This was<br />

performed until 100 particles were measured. The Wolman pebble counts were conducted 3 times<br />

during the study: at the eyed stage (September 23 rd –October 27 th , 2008), February 19 th , 2009,<br />

and at the emergence stage (early May 12 th , 15 th , 2009).The crew member completing this task<br />

differed between the three sampling periods; however, on a survey date the same observer was used<br />

at all 9 sites to sample the substrate. See Figure 8 (e and f) for photos of substrate sampling, as well<br />

as an overhead view of the surface substrate at incubation area 2 (photo d).<br />

Data from the Wolman pebble count were arranged and analyzed according to size (13 size classes,<br />

ranging from 2.8 to 180 mm). The percent frequency and cumulative percent finer for each size<br />

class were then calculated and plotted (cumulative frequency curve and particle size histogram).<br />

In order to predict Chinook hatch and emergence timing during year 2 of the study, water<br />

temperature data (available from September 23, 2008 to May 15, 2009), were converted into<br />

accumulated thermal units (ATUs), where one degree Celsius in one day is equal to one ATU. The<br />

15 minute interval temperature dataset was averaged over one day, and ATUs were calculated.<br />

Based on a periodicity review conducted in 2007 (CGL and Metlakatla <strong>Fish</strong>eries 2007), where peak<br />

Chinook salmon spawning was estimated to occur in late August and early September. Figure 9<br />

shows the calculated ATUs and dates expected for hatch and emergence stages for incubating<br />

Chinook eggs (will be installed at the eyed stage of development – see section 4.0) over a three<br />

week period initiating on September 23 rd . A three week window was used in order to buffer for a<br />

range of spawning timing as well as expected changes in water temperature for 2009/2010 in<br />

relation to 2008/2009 temperatures. All estimated eyed, hatch and emergence stage timing is based<br />

on ATU data for Chinook salmon from DFO (DFO 2003).<br />

3.2 Intragravel Physicochemical Parameters<br />

Groundwater/stream-water exchanges in gravel and cobble beds have been found to relate to the<br />

selection of fish spawning habitat (Geist and Dauble 1998; Baxter and McPhail 1999; Baxter and<br />

Hauer 2000; Geist 2000; Geist et al. 2002; Baxter et al. 2002; and Douglas, 2006). The zone of<br />

interaction between to the two water sources forms a volume of saturated sediment called the<br />

hyporheic zone (Edwards 1998), which varies between systems dependent upon the extent of<br />

groundwater and surface water in the system.<br />

In this study, water from the hyporheic zone was sampled from 9 sample sites (marked with installed<br />

piezometers) located within two potential incubation areas and one control area. Figure 10 displays<br />

the incubation areas and location of the sample sites/piezometer markers. A metal sampling syringe<br />

was used in place of sampling from the piezometers (as discussed in methods) and was utilized<br />

throughout the sampling period at all sample sites.<br />

<strong>Water</strong> depth, average velocity, tidal information, and sample time (gathered during the sampling<br />

period September 23 rd , 2008 to May 15 th , 2009) are presented in table 5. Physicochemical<br />

parameters (dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, conductivity) measured at all sample site locations<br />

are presented in Table 6. Due to the proximity of site H to site G, physicochemical data sampled<br />

from G were used for H.<br />

Two physicochemical parameters critical for salmon egg to fry survival are dissolved oxygen (mg/L)<br />

and water temperature ( 0 C). In addition, water velocity (m/s), and water depth (m) are also critical for<br />

egg to fry survival (Bradford and Taylor 1995; Baxter and McPhail 1999; Geist et al. 2002; Soulsby<br />

et al. 2002; Hanrahan et al. 2005).<br />

The intragravel physicochemical parameters monitored during the sampling periods were all within a<br />

suitable range to support incubating salmon eggs. Dissolved oxygen ranged from a low of 9.6 mg/L<br />

to a high of 12.3 mg/L over 8 sample site locations (control site had DO of 8.3 mg/L) (the <strong>BC</strong><br />

guideline for intragravel oxygen include an instantaneous minimum of 6 mg/L and a 30-day mean<br />

not lower than 8 mg/L; RIC 1998). The intragravel pH levels ranged from 7.4 to 7.9 (aquatic life<br />

generally supported in the range 6.5-9.0; RIC 1998). <strong>Water</strong> temperatures ranged from an average<br />

daily low of 0.2 0 C to an average daily high of 10.7 0 C over the baseline sampling period, which is a<br />

suitable water temperature range for Chinook egg to fry development (RIC 1998). All water<br />

velocities exceeded the recommended minimum of 0.02 m/s. Intragravel water temperatures and<br />

water column water temperatures were very similar for all sites.<br />

3.3 <strong>Water</strong> Depth and Discharge<br />

Discharge data from the project site was obtained from <strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong> and includes discharge through<br />

the generation facility and spills over the weir. Discharges over the study period ranged from a low<br />

of 2.24 cms for a short period on January 10 th to an hourly high of 264.56 cms (October 22 nd ,<br />

2008 – storm event). Figure 11 shows the average daily discharge over the study period. Note:<br />

discharge data is not available from Dec 28th, 2008 – Jan 6th, 2009.<br />

<strong>Water</strong> depth data were collected from the pressure transducer gauge. Data points which were<br />

exaggerated by tidal influence were excluded from the data-set to reduce noise and augment the<br />

underlying data analysis. (as previously described in Methods 2.3.2).<br />

spawning period (6.5 cms – August 1 st to October 15 th ) and year round minimum discharge (2.6 cms). If the<br />

reservoir elevation drops below 88.4 m, turbine discharge will be reduced to 1.3 cms to conserve water and<br />

ensure that some flows to the river can be maintained (<strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong> 2006a). Data is not available from Dec 28 th ,<br />

2008 – Jan 6 th , 2009.<br />

3.3.1 Stage/Discharge Relationship<br />

We used the dataset of hourly depth and associated hourly discharge to attempt to develop a stage<br />

discharge curve at the site. This analysis provided strong correlations for some months, but weak<br />

correlations for others.<br />

The nine graphs in Figure 12 show the relationship between total discharge into the tailpond and<br />

water depth for the nine sample months. From September to December, 2008 there are strong<br />

positive correlations (R 2 0.936 to 0.977) between adjusted depth data (tidal back flow depths<br />

removed from the dataset) and total discharge. Weak correlations exist between total discharge and<br />

water depth from January to May, 2009 (R 2 = 0.074 to 0.5372). This could be a result of algae<br />

growth and/or debris build-up on the screen of the pipe that houses the transducer and/or ice buildup<br />

on the shoreline affecting representative water depths and/or affecting how discharge is<br />

distributed into the tailpond. Discharge data from the turbines and spillway will also be verified with<br />

<strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong> to ensure that flow monitoring was accurate during this period.<br />

3.3.2 <strong>Water</strong> Depth in the Study Area<br />

<strong>Water</strong> depth in the study area was recorded every 15 minutes at the datalogger location. The<br />

transducer of the logger was installed at an elevation lower than the stream substrates at incubation<br />

area 1 (transducer is 19cm lower) and incubation area 2 (42cm lower). Table 7 shows the<br />

relationship between water depths at the pressure transducer and incubation areas 1 and 2, as<br />

measured during the three field visits.<br />

The highest depth recorded (except during tidal inundation) was 3.02 m (a storm event on October<br />

22nd, 2008), which corresponded to the highest hourly discharge of 264.56 cms.<br />

The lowest hourly water depth data during the study period was at incubation area 2 from Jan 4th to<br />

6th 2009. The data indicate that area 2 emerged from the water surface by 14 cm between periods<br />

of tidal inundation. During this period, area 1 remained covered by at least 9 cm of water. Average<br />

hourly discharges during this period are not available.<br />

Observers were not at site during this time, and the relationship between total discharge and water<br />

depth is not positively correlated from January to May of 2009, as ice build-up on the shoreline may<br />

be affecting representative water depths and/or affecting how discharge is distributed in the tailpond;<br />

therefore when considering the low depth reading in January, the relationship between the depth<br />

gauge and sample locations should take into consideration ice-build-up as a possible explanation.<br />

Follow-up data from year 2 gathered from the installation of pressure transducer/dataloggers at the<br />

incubation areas is proposed to reduce the uncertainty in this relationship.<br />

See Appendix 1 for average hourly: water depth and discharge (total) data.<br />

3.4 Substrate Composition (Wolman Pebble Counts)<br />

Substrate size has been used to link salmon redd site selection and incubation success in numerous<br />

studies (Lostpeich and Everest. 1981; Tappel and Bjornn 1983; Bradford and Taylor 1995; Geist<br />

and Dauble 1998; Kondolf 2000; McBain and Trush 2001; Merz et al. 2004: Hall and Wissmar<br />

2004; Hanrahan et al. 2005; and Zimmerman and Lapointe 2005). We sampled substrate at each<br />

sample site location in areas 1 and 2 at the initial (September 23 – eyed stage), post-hatch (February<br />

19th, 2009), and emergence (May12th-15th, 2009) stages of the incubation monitoring period.<br />

Sampling at each sample site location over different periods allowed for analysis of temporal changes<br />

in substrate composition and distribution of particle sizes at each site.<br />

Statistical analysis (Pearson’s chi-square test using contingency tables) of particle sizes at each<br />

sample site over time showed that there was no significant difference between sites (p value >0.05).<br />

Therefore, particle size distribution counts for each site were averaged for the three time periods.<br />

The distribution of particle sizes and changes in cumulative size distribution of particles at each<br />

study site (size classes (x-axis) are log 2 transformation of ½ phi steps) from the pebble counts are<br />

shown for each site and sample date in Figure 13.<br />

A wide range of particle sizes were observed for incubation areas 1 and 2 (4 mm – 64 mm), with<br />

area 2 showing a slightly larger cumulative distribution for large particle sizes. Overall, the<br />

incubation areas selected have adequate substrate for Chinook spawning.<br />

4 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YEAR 2<br />

Due to depth/discharge discrepancies encountered in 2009, additional winter site visits are<br />

recommended in January and February of 2010 to monitor ice conditions on site and how this may<br />

relate to discharge and depth. Winter surveys would also provide the opportunity to monitor the<br />

relationship between the pressure transducer depth and manual depth measurements from the<br />

sample site locations. In year 1, there were concerns of damage to and/or loss of water level<br />

recorders installed at the incubation locations as seen with some of the piezometers which were bent<br />

during the study period in year 1. The installation of relatively inexpensive non-vented pressure<br />

transducer/data-loggers at incubation areas 1 and 2 alleviating the equipment loss versus expense<br />

risk is proposed for year 2. In conjunction with the water level recorder currently installed on the<br />

right bank, the proposed pressure transducer/data-loggers installed at the incubation areas would<br />

allow for monitoring of both recording methods; reducing overall uncertainty with regards to water<br />

level.<br />

In order to maintain consistency and allow for comparison between study years, the metal sampling<br />

syringe will be used to extract intragravel samples in years 2 and 3. The piezometers currently<br />

installed at area 1 (which were not bent based on last survey May 12 th , 2009) could be used to<br />

calculate hydraulic head and permeability.<br />

The <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> <strong>Project</strong> <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Use</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> Monitoring Terms of Reference (<strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong> 2006a) for the<br />

Spawning Habitat Monitoring study recommends commencing the egg incubation phase (Year 2 and<br />

3) of the study using green eggs. Chinook salmon gametes (eggs and milt) would be obtained from a<br />

nearby hatchery facility (e.g. Kitimat Hatchery) and transported to <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong>, fertilized on site and<br />

buried at the selected incubation sites. However, the use of green eggs as a starting point for the<br />

incubation study increases the risk of confounding survival results from egg mortality due to embryo<br />

quality, egg collection and fertilization procedures. The remoteness of the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> site and<br />

proximity of hatchery facilities that could supply Chinook eggs, the logistics of arranging travel into<br />

the site, and the need to complete the work during a narrow window of conditions (discharge, tides,<br />

weather) create several challenges that could affect the study if green eggs are used. Viability of<br />

Chinook gametes may be negatively influenced with increasing storage times. Therefore, we are<br />

proposing to use eyed eggs for the study since there is a greater degree of flexibility in the availability<br />

of the eggs and they are much easier to transport at this stage.<br />

Incubators will be buried at two incubation areas, rather than three as described in the TOR. This<br />

decision was made following various site visits to the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> between August 2008 and April<br />

2009 during which time spawning habitat and site conditions in the river could be more carefully<br />

evaluated. The key issues considered were site access and crew safety, equipment installation and<br />

the ability to complete environmental monitoring tasks during low tides. The two incubation areas<br />

selected are located on the right side of the river and were utilized in a previous incubation study in<br />

2003 by DFO (L. Miller and Northcoast Environmental - unpublished data – see Section 1.2.2 and<br />

Site #2 in Figure 4). Area 1 is located in an area between the right bank and a bedrock outcropping<br />

while Area 2 is located just downstream of the outcrop (Figure 10).<br />

Eyed Chinook eggs will be transported from the selected Hatchery facility to the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> site on<br />

the day of installation. Once at the site, eggs will be loaded into Jordan-Scotty incubation cassettes<br />

with 100 eyed eggs filling cells in the bottom-half of each cassette. Although the cassettes are<br />

<strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> WUP Monitoring 2008/2009<br />

designed to hold 200 eggs, there is concern that the availability of Chinook eggs from local<br />

Hatchery facilities may be limited, based on discussions with Hatchery Managers. The statistical<br />

analyses of the study results will be more powerful if more incubators with fewer eggs (i.e. 8<br />

incubators with 100 eggs) as opposed to fewer incubators with more eggs (i.e. 4 incubators with<br />

200 eggs) are used, to deal with the variability in survival and differential survival rates between sites.<br />

Eight incubation cassettes will be buried at each incubation site for a total of 16 cassettes (1600<br />

eggs) for the study group. The cassettes will be buried in an artificial redd excavated in the substrate,<br />

in groups of two placed 30-40 cm apart, to a depth of ~25 cm, such that the top of each cassette<br />

will be approximately 10-15 cm below the surface of the gravel (Figure 14). Each cassette will be<br />

secured by a 50 cm length of ¼ inch polypropylene rope to a 30 cm length of rebar, driven into the<br />

substrate upstream of the cassettes. Cassettes will be flagged with an ID number so they can be<br />

easily located.<br />

A control group of eyed eggs from the same donating adults will remain separate at the Hatchery<br />

facility. The primary purpose of this group will be to demonstrate that there were no fertilization or<br />

survival issues with the batch of eggs used in the study when incubated in an ideal environment. The<br />

treatment of this group of “control” eggs in the same manner as the study group will require that<br />

eyed eggs be placed in Jordan-Scotty incubation cassettes and incubated to the fry/emergence stage<br />

in upwelling incubators (Atkins cells) or other upwelling bulk-type incubator at the designated<br />

facility. If this can not be accommodated due to restricted facility operations, space or availability of<br />

eggs, then the “control group” should be handled using standard hatchery practices of the facility<br />

such that the eyed eggs from which the study group was taken can be maintained separate from<br />

other groups at the hatchery, and survival tracked to the hatch and fry/emergence stages.<br />

Assessment of incubation success will be checked during two stages: at the hatching stage (~520<br />

ATUs), and at the fry/emergence stage (~920 ATUs). Based on water temperatures and ATUs from<br />

2008/2009 this would equate to survey times in early November (hatch) and early May<br />

(emergence). The incubators to be used in this study (Jordan-Scotty incubators) have blocked escape<br />

holes which permits more accurate assessment to the fry stage with no loss of embryos. The<br />

developmental stage of the incubating eggs will be monitored using temperature data collected from<br />

a buried Tidbit temperature logger at the <strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> site to calculate ATUs and schedule the egg<br />

assessment date at the hatch and fry stages. Hatch and emergence site visits will be adjusted from<br />

the 2008/2009 temperature dataset if required (i.e., if water temperatures are warmer or colder at<br />

the time of incubations cassette installation in September).<br />

For each developmental stage inspection, four cassettes from each site will be removed and<br />

assessed. The contents of the incubators will be emptied into a shallow basin and the number of<br />

dead and live eggs/alevins and fry enumerated. The embryos (live and dead) will be handled as per<br />

conditions in the Transplant Permit. Cassettes removed at the hatch stage will not be replaced in the<br />

gravel after assessment due to the amount of disturbance that would be required to excavate and<br />

replant the incubators. This disturbance could adversely affect the embryos in the cassette, as well as<br />

alter the intragravel conditions of flow, permeability and dissolved oxygen delivery within the ‘egg<br />

pocket’ or the surrounding environment of other nearby cassettes, thereby skewing results for the<br />

final stage of development.<br />

Piezometer Installation Procedure<br />

Cambria Gordon and Metlakatla <strong>Fish</strong>eries Appendices


<strong>Falls</strong> <strong>River</strong> WUP Monitoring 2008/2009<br />

The procedure for piezometer installation was based on that described by Baxter et al. (2003) (as<br />

shown in Figure 1) as follows:<br />

1. The driver mechanism (the casing with the driver rod inserted) was placed on the stream<br />

bottom and driven to the desired depth into the streambed by repeated blows with a<br />

sledgehammer;<br />

2. The steel driving rod was removed while the imbedded casing was held in place;<br />

3. the PVC piezometer was inserted into the casing; and<br />

4. While the piezometer was held in place the steel casing was removed, leaving only the<br />

piezometer inserted in the streambed.<br />

5.<br />

The casing was 1.50 m in length and constructed from 33 mm steel pipe (inside diameter was 25<br />

mm) with a steel collar ring welded at the top. The pipe was painted white with Rustoleum and<br />

marked at 10 cm intervals from the bottom- up to assist in piezometer placement (Figure 2a). The<br />

driver rod was made of solid steel that fit snugly inside the casing and had a machined point on one<br />

end. A steel collar ring was welded approximately 15 cm from the top of the rod to prevent the<br />

driving rod from sliding all the way through the casing.<br />

The piezometers consisted of a 21 mm diameter polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe (inner diameter 15<br />

mm). Each pipe was 60 cm long and plugged with a 4 cm wooden dowel, which was inserted into<br />

the pipe and secured with a wood screw to prevent gravel from entering the piezometer (from the<br />

base) (Figure 2b). This dowel also allowed for the addition of a hollow wall anchor through the<br />

center of the dowel to prevent the piezometer from being removed due to high water, flows, ice,<br />

etc. The use of hollow wall anchors allowed for the anchor device to slide down the large steel<br />

casing and open to approximately 4 cm x 1 cm in the substrate. Anchors extended approximately 4<br />

cm below the piezometer. The lower 10 cm of the piezometer above the wooded dowel was<br />

perforated with 8- 9 mm holes (4 on either side)<br />

Piezometers were installed to depths of 25 cm – 40 cm in the stream substratum, comparable<br />

depths for incubation cassette (Chinook redd) installation in year 2. Figure 3 (photos a-e) show<br />

piezometers being installed as well as three installed piezometers (photo f- Site 1). <strong>Water</strong> was<br />

extracted from the piezometers using a short length of plastic tubing attached to a Dynaline 17 oz.<br />

suction gun (Figure 2c). <strong>Water</strong> was extracted from the piezometer and placed in a 250 ml graduated<br />

cylinder to obtain physicochemical measurements. The suction gun enabled water to be extracted<br />

smoothly using a steady pressure to limit the introduction of atmospheric oxygen caused by water<br />

mixing and excess pumping. Table 1 displays the UTM location and depth of installation for each<br />

piezometer.<br />
