MCGG, OSU partner to help kids
M orrow C ounty G rain G ro w ers and OSU

Arlington and Condon areas The students included 19 boys

a quad track and operate four wheelers. To pass the class
they must back a piece o f equipment through a course

lions from en terin g the
fishways while allowing fish
to pass.
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
