Hydroacoustic Evaluation of Fish Passage Through Bonneville Dam in 2005

Description: The Portland District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requested that the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) conduct fish-passage studies at Bonneville Dam in 2005. These studies support the Portland District's goal of maximizing fish-passage efficiency (FPE) and obtaining 95% survival for juvenile salmon passing Bonneville Dam. Major passage routes include 10 turbines and a sluiceway at Powerhouse 1 (B1), an 18-bay spillway, and eight turbines and a sluiceway at Powerhouse 2 (B2).… more

New Zealand: Asia-Pacific energy series, country report

Description: The New Zealand energy sector has undergone significant changes in the past few years. Reform and deregulation came to New Zealand in large doses and at a rapid pace. Unlike Japan where deregulation was designed for a five-year phase-in period or even Australia where the government was fully geared up to handle deregulation, deregulation occurred in New Zealand almost with no phase-in period and very little planning. Under fast-paced Rogernomics,'' the energy sector was but one more element of … more

The composition of a quad of buildings sector energy: Physical, economic, and environmental quantities

Description: In an analysis conducted for the US Department of Energy Office of Building Technologies (OBT), the Pacific Northwest Laboratory examined the fuel type composition of energy consumed in the US buildings sector. Numerical estimates were developed for the physical quantities of fuel consumed, as well as of the fossil fuel emissions (carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides) and nuclear spent fuel byproducts associated with that consumption. Electric generating requirements and the economic… more

ELISA-Based Segregation of Adult Spring Chinook Salmon for Control of Bacterial Kidney Disease, Annual Report FY 1990.

Description: Bacterial kidney disease (BKD), caused by Renibacterium salmoninarum (RS), is a serious disease of salmonid fish worldwide. The disease has a major impact on spring chinook salmon populations in the Columbia River system. There is strong evidence that RS can be transmitted from parent to progeny, and segregation of progeny based on levels of antigen detected in adult fish may obviate this mode of transmission. Results from the second year of a four year study to investigate segregation of brood… more

Idaho Habitat Evaluation for Off-Site Mitigation Record : Annual Report 1985.

Description: Evaluation approaches to document a record of credit for mitigation were developed in 1984-1985 for most of the habitat projects. Restoration of upriver anadromous fish runs through increased passage survival at main stem Columbia and Snake River dams is essential to the establishment of an off-site mitigation record, as well as to the success of the entire Fish and Wildlife program. The mitigation record is being developed to use increased smolt production (i.e., yield) at full-seeding as the … more

Effects of Flow and Spill on the Migratory Behavior and Survival of Juvenile Fall and Summer Chinook Salmon in John Day Reservior : Annual Report 1987.

Description: Juvenile fall chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, were freeze branded, coded wire tagged, and released into the Columbia River in the tailrace below McNary Dam during the summers of 1981--1983. The objectives of the study were to examine the effects of river flow on the passage time and migrational behavior of the juveniles and to subsequently assess any relationship to adult survival. This report details adult recovery data to June 1987. 2 refs., 11 tabs.

Camas Creek (Meyers Cove) Anadromous Species Habitat Improvement Plan: Final Report 1986.

Description: This report represents an analysis of potential enhancement and management options designed to improve instream and riparian zone conditions in the Meyers Cover area of Camas Creek. The efforts expended will contribute to improvement of anadromous species spawning, incubation and rearing habitat. Potential production increases would provide some compensation for hydropower effects in other areas of the Columbia River basin.

Wilderness designation of Bureau of Land Management lands and impacts on the availability of energy resources

Description: In 1964 Congress mandated the establishment of the National Wilderness Preservation System - a collection of federal lands dedicated to the preservation of selected parts of our once vast wilderness. Because wilderness management precludes many traditional land uses, controversy has plagued the efforts of land-management agencies to select and recommend areas for wilderness inclusion. This study examines potential impacts on the supply of energy resources from the possible withdrawal by the Bur… more

Development of a more fish tolerant turbine runner advanced hydropower turbine project. Final report

Description: The Hidrostal pump is a single bladed combined screw/centrifugal pump which has been proven to transport fish with minimal injury. The focus of the ARL/NREC research project was to develop a new runner geometry which is effective in downstream fish passage and hydroelectric power generation. A flow of 1,000 cfs and a head in the range of 75 ft to 100 ft were selected for conceptual design of the new runner. Criteria relative to hydraulic characteristics which are favorable for fish passage were… more
