The barriers, which consist o f metal racks or gates are being installed into the fo u r ad u lt fishw ay entrances at B onneville’s Second Powerhouse. Each barrier is 12-feet wide and 18-feet long; connected end- to-end the two pieces form a 36-foot high barrier in front of the fishway entrances The gap between the bars is 15- 3/4 inches, too small for sea lions to squeeze through . i “ The idea is to exclude the sea lions while not impeding passage for the fish migrating upriver,” said Michael Chimp, the Corps stru c tu ra l en g in eer who designed the devices. “Once the barriers are in a place we will monitor the movement o f the fish to make sure it doesn’t hinder them ” The Corps wanted to install the barriers before the sea lions left far m ating season, so staff could verify their success at keeping the p innipeds out o f the fishways, said John Kranda, the Corps’ project manager. Even more important, the h a rrie rs will be te ste d throughout the summer fish migration, without sea lions present, to make sure there are no serious problems with fish passage The test will include periods w ith the gates in and out to see if fish pass and behave differently under these two conditions. With the sea lions present this could have trapped one o f the predators inside the ladder. The University o f Idaho will radio tag about 400 salmon to see if fish behavior changes with the entrances installed and when they are removed “It was important to get as much information as we can so we can be ready to deploy next spring when the sea lions return,” Kranda said A decision will be made to provide additional barriers for th e d am ’s First P o w erh o u se e n tran ces following the test program and if any desig n modifications are needed M a g n e tic D oor Signs H ERE H eppner G azette-T im es (.76-922 I
