The current program involves releasing fish according to the targets identified in Table NS-4. Detailed protocols for the disposition of excess hatchery fish will be contained in the WFOP. These goals will be updated annually by the WATER Hatchery Management Team and vetted through WFPOM team. When numerical adult abundance recovery goals are established for the North Santiam spring Chinook salmon population through the recovery planning process, these targets will be adjusted accordingly. Table NS-4. Number of Adult Spring Chinook to be Outplanted Target Number of Origin Location Fish (number of pairs in parentheses) Hatchery Natural North Santiam River 900 (450) X upstream of DET Breitenbush 600 (300) X upstream of DET North Santiam River All X upstream of Mintoa Table NS-5. Outplanting release sites Release Site Dry Creek (head of reservoir) Parish Lake Road (15 river miles above head of reservoir) Hot Springs (Breitenbush River) proposed maintenance period where a shutdown is required for the ladder will be from December 1 to February 15. The following will be performed during the maintenance period: All staff gages and water level indicators will be inspected, cleaned, and repaired as necessary. The fish ladder will be dewatered and inspected for debris, projections, or clogged orifices that injure or impede fish. Necessary repairs will be completed at this time. proposed maintenance period where a shutdown is required for the post sort pools will be from April 15 to May 31. The following will be performed during the maintenance period: All staff gages and water level indicators will be inspected, cleaned, and repaired as necessary. The pools will be dewatered and inspected for damage, cracks, debris, or projections that could injure fish. Necessary repairs will be completed at this time. Specific maintenance activities listed for monthly, quarterly, and annual actions will be appended to the WFOP.
