• Loss and Salvage Predictor real-time forecasts from approximately December to mid-June

Species Distribution Estimates

Estimates presented during weekly meetings. Submitted by BOR to SacPAS after weekly meetings for automated generation of plots.

Juvenile Sampling

Juvenile Sampling Summary for 06/20/2022-06/26/2022 (last 7 days) and 06/13/2022-06/19/2022 (previous 7 days)

• Tisdale Weir RST: Preliminary data from CDFW via StreamNet and CDEC; subject to revision.
• Knights Landing RST: Preliminary data from CDFW via StreamNet and CDEC; subject to revision. Turbidity is a discrete measure. KNL measured in FTU which should be roughly equivalent to NTU.
• Sacramento Trawls (@ Sherwood Harbor): Preliminary data from USFWS Lodi and CDEC; subject to revision.
• Sacramento Beach Seines: Preliminary data from USFWS Lodi and CDEC; subject to revision.
• Chipps Island Trawls: Preliminary data from USFWS Lodi and CDEC; subject to revision.
• Mossdale Trawls: Preliminary data from USFWS Lodi and CDEC; subject to revision.
• Averages: calculated for all non-null data points within the 7 day reporting period.

CWT Spring Surrogates

For WY 2022 there are multiple groups of spring-run Chinook salmon hatchery surrogates used to meet requirements in both the Proposed Action and the ITP.

• Proposed Action (PA) 4.10.5.10.2 Additional Real-Time OMR Restrictions and Performance Objectives
• ITP Condition of Approval 8.6.4

PA 4.10.5.10.2 / COA 8.6.4 Young-of-Year Spring-run Chinook Salmon Hatchery Surrogate Summary Table, Water Year 2022

Single-Year Loss Thresholds

Single-Year Loss Thresholds (PA 4-69)

In each year, typically January/February, Reclamation and DWR propose to avoid exceeding an annual loss threshold equal to 90% of the greatest annual loss that occurred in the historical record from 2010 through 2018 for each of:

• Natural Winter-Run Chinook Salmon (loss= 1.17% of JPE)
• Hatchery Winter-Run Chinook Salmon (loss= 0.12% of JPE)
• Natural Central Valley Steelhead from December through March (loss =1,414)
• Natural Central Valley Steelhead from April through June 15 (loss = 1,552)

Daily Loss Table

Alerts: Deer Creek, Mill Creek, Wilkins Slough, Knights Landing

Updated: Monday, 27-Jun-2022 08:30:03 PDT

Monitor Deer Creek and Mill Creek for average daily flow >95 cfs or >50% change from prior day

Monitor for both conditions: Wilkins Slough average daily flow >7500 cfs and Knights Landing temperature <56.3F

DCC Operations

No winter/older Chinook sampling data for Knights Landing, Sacramento Trawls or Sacramento Beach Seines for period, 10/1/2021 - 12/31/2021.

Updated: Monday, 31-Jan-2022 16:15:06 PST

Part 1: DCC operations by Knights Landing or Sacramento Catch Indices (PA 4-56)

   • Sacramento Beach Seines: Verona, Elkhorn, Sand Cove, Miller Park, Sherwood Harbor, Discovery Park, American River, Garcia Bend.
   • 30 November 2020: Sampling at Mossdale Trawls stopped; sampling at the sites deemed "non-essential" during COVID-19 response.
