During March–June 2014 and 2015, U.S. Geological Survey Western Ecological Research Center (WERC) initiated a study to assess aquatic prey resources, in coordination with a separate but parallel fish study done by the Columbia River Estuary Study Taskforce. WERC collected data on environmental variables and invertebrate community structure, and the taskforce provided salmonid diet data at restored (Lewis Stream and Porter Point) and reference (Greenhead Slough and Ellsworth Creek) sites. We analyzed these data to determine the functional capacity of the estuary for supporting invertebrate prey resources for fish following restoration.</p><p>The results of our analyses were as follows:</p><ul><li>Water temperatures were roughly 0.74 degrees Celsius warmer in 2015 than in 2014 at all sites, with potential consequences for salmonid bioenergetics in June and July.</li><li>Mudflat was colonized by low marsh species such as pickleweed from 2014 to 2015 at restored Lewis Stream. Vegetation community structure remained stable at Greenhead Slough, Ellsworth Creek, and Porter Point in both years, and consisted of halophilic sedges (for example, <i>Carex lyngbyei</i>) and saltgrass (<i>Distichlis spicata</i>).</li><li>Benthic invertebrate community structure consisted of Polychaeta, Nematoda, Oligochaeta, Amphipoda, and Diptera larvae, all of which contribute to the foraging capacity of juvenile salmon and migratory shorebirds. Benthic invertebrate biomass increased as much as 30-fold at some sites from 2014 to 2015.</li><li>Terrestrial invertebrate community structure was dominated by Dipteran flies, especially at restored Lewis Stream, which primarily was unvegetated in 2014. Other key taxa included Hemiptera, Arachnida, and Collembola.</li><li>Aquatic invertebrate prey consisted of planktonic taxa and terrestrial invertebrate drift that fell into the water column from overhanging vegetation. The restored Porter Point had markedly fewer Copepoda, but had the highest levels of neuston biomass primarily due to Dipteran drift (terrestrial flies that fell into the water column).</li><li>Average proportion similarity index (PSI) values between salmon diet and invertebrate prey availability were relatively low at all sites (&lt;0.1), but were highest at the restored Lewis Stream (0.105±0.102). This likely was influenced by the predominance of Diptera in the surrounding habitat and in the diets of juvenile Chinook and chum salmon (<i>Oncorhynchus tshawytscha</i> and <i>O. keta</i>, respectively).</li><li>The invasive New Zealand mud snail (<i>Potamopyrgus antipodarum</i>) was detected at both Lewis Stream (8 out of 34 aquatic and benthic samples) and Porter Point (1 out of 32 aquatic and benthic samples) restoration sites, but not at reference sites Greenhead Slough or Ellsworth Creek. This invasive species has been observed throughout the Pacific Northwest coastline is not palatable to most fish (including salmonids) and may even be detrimental to some fish species.</li><li>Although invertebrate communities differed between restored and reference sites, invertebrate biomass at the restored Lewis Stream and Porter Point was like or exceeded that of reference sites Greenhead Slough and Ellsworth Creek. The restored sites are still in the early phases of restoration and succession, but our study suggests they have the capacity to support foraging wildlife species such as salmonids.</li></ul>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20181194","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service","usgsCitation":"Woo, I., Davis, M.J., and De La Cruz, S., 2018.

Availability of water is an important issue in the Black Mesa area because of continued water requirements for industrial and municipal use by a growing population and because of the arid climate. Precipitation in the area typically ranges from less than 6 to more than 16 inches per year depending on location.</p><p>The U.S. Geological Survey water-monitoring program in the Black Mesa area began in 1971 and provides information about the long-term effects of groundwater withdrawals from the N aquifer for industrial and municipal uses. This report presents results of data collected as part of the monitoring program in the Black Mesa area from November 2015 to December 2016. The monitoring program includes measurements of (1) groundwater withdrawals (pumping), (2) groundwater levels, (3) spring discharge, (4) surface-water discharge, and (5) groundwater chemistry.</p><p>In calendar year 2016, total groundwater withdrawals were 3,540 acre-ft, industrial withdrawals were 1,090 acre-ft, and municipal withdrawals were 2,450 acre-ft. Total withdrawals during 2016 were about 52 percent less than total withdrawals in 2005 because of Peabody Western Coal Company’s discontinued use of water to transport coal in a coal slurry pipeline.</p><p>From 2015 to 2016, annually measured water levels available for comparison in wells completed in the unconfined areas of the N aquifer within the Black Mesa area declined in 9 of 16 wells, and the median change was –0.1 feet. Water levels also declined in 8 of 16 wells measured in the confined area of the aquifer. The median change for the confined area of the aquifer was 0.0 feet. From the prestress period (prior to 1965) to 2016, the median water-level change for all 32 wells in both the confined and unconfined areas was –10.2 feet; the median water-level changes were –1.6 feet for the 16 wells measured in the unconfined areas and –36.1 feet for the 16 wells measured in the confined area.</p><p>Spring flow was measured at four springs in 2016. Flow fluctuated during the period of record for Burro Spring and Pasture Canyon Spring, but a decreasing trend was statistically significant (p&lt;0.05) at Moenkopi School Spring and Unnamed Spring near Dennehotso. Discharge at Burro Spring has remained relatively constant since it was first measured in the 1980s and discharge at Pasture Canyon Spring has fluctuated for the period of record.</p><p>Continuous records of surface-water discharge in the Black Mesa area were collected from streamflow-gaging stations at the following sites: Moenkopi Wash at Moenkopi 09401260 (1976 to 2016), Dinnebito Wash near Sand Springs 09401110 (1993 to 2016), Polacca Wash near Second Mesa 09400568 (1994 to 2016), and Pasture Canyon Springs 09401265 (2004 to 2016). Median winter flows (November through February) of each water year were used as an index of the amount of groundwater discharge at the above-named sites. For the period of record, the median winter flows have generally remained constant at Dinnebito Wash and Polacca Wash, whereas a decreasing trend was indicated at Moenkopi Wash and Pasture Canyon Springs.</p><p>In 2016, water samples collected from three wells and four springs in the Black Mesa area were analyzed for selected chemical constituents, and the results were compared with previous analyses from the same wells and springs. Concentrations of dissolved solids, chloride, and sulfate have varied at all three wells for the period of record, but neither increasing nor decreasing trends over time were found. Dissolved solids, chloride, and sulfate concentrations increased at Moenkopi School Spring during the more than 25 years of record at that site. Concentrations of dissolved solids, chloride, and sulfate at Pasture Canyon Spring have not varied significantly (p&gt;0.05) since the early 1980s, and there is no increasing or decreasing trend in those data. Concentrations of dissolved solids, chloride, and sulfate at Burro Spring and Unnamed Spring near Dennehotso have varied for the period of record, but there is no statistical trend in the data.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20181193","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the Navajo Nation and the Arizona Department of Water Resources","usgsCitation":"Mason, J.P., and Macy, J.P., 2018, Groundwater, surface-water, and water-chemistry data, Black Mesa area, northeastern Arizona—2015–2016: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2018–1193, 60 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20181193.","productDescription":"vii, 60 p.","onlineOnly":"Y","ipdsId":"IP-097246","costCenters":[{"id":128,"text":"Arizona Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":384544,"rank":3,"type":{"id":22,"text":"Related Work"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20211124","text":"Open-File Report 2021-1124","linkHelpText":"- Groundwater, Surface-Water, and Water-Chemistry Data, Black Mesa Area, Northeastern Arizona—2016–2018"},{"id":360531,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1193/coverthb.jpg"},{"id":360532,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1193/ofr20181193.pdf","text":"Report","size":"6.5 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"Open-File Report 2018-1193"}],"country":"United States","state":"Arizona","otherGeospatial":"Black Mesa Area","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -111.5,\n              35.5\n            ],\n            [\n              -109.5,\n              35.5\n            ],\n            [\n              -109.5,\n              37\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.5,\n              37\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.5,\n              35.5\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","contact":"<p><a data-mce-href=\"mailto:dc_az@usgs.gov\" href=\"mailto:dc_az@usgs.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Director</a>,<br><a data-mce-href=\"https://az.water.usgs.gov/\" href=\"https://az.water.usgs.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arizona Water Science Center</a><br><a data-mce-href=\"https://usgs.gov/\" href=\"https://usgs.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Geological Survey</a><br>520 N.

Mining activities since the late 19th century, specifically placer mining and associated dredging from 1940 to 1953, have left the fluvial system in a highly altered and unnatural state. To improve aquatic and terrestrial habitat in the Yankee Fork, the Bureau of Reclamation and other stakeholders collaborated on the Dredge Tailings Restoration Project and Yankee Fork Rehabilitation Project. In conjunction with these rehabilitation efforts, the U.S. Geological Survey monitored suspended-sediment transport and discharge between 2012 and 2015 at three sites in the lower reaches of the Yankee Fork. Pseudo-hydrographs were developed for the Bonanza and Confluence sites using data from the streamgage site as a surrogate. Results showed a good fit between measured and calculated discharge with R2 values of 0.96 for the Bonanza site and 0.98 for the Confluence site. Both regressions have high hypothesis test statistics (t&gt;23) and low probability values (p&lt;0.0001), indicating a strong linear correlation. Suspended-sediment samples collected mostly during snowmelt runoff showed a positive correlation with stream discharge. Hysteresis in the sample results indicates a supply-limited suspended-sediment transport regime. Percent sand by weight of suspended-sediment samples identified a possible discharge threshold for sand suspension at about 400 cubic feet per second (ft<sup>3</sup>/s) at the Bonanza site and about 1,000 ft<sup>3</sup>/s at the Confluence and Gage sites.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20181189","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation","usgsCitation":"Johnsen, J.W., 2018, Sediment transport monitoring of the Yankee Fork of the Salmon River near Stanley, Idaho, 2012–15: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2018-1189, 17 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20181189.","productDescription":"iv, 17 p.","onlineOnly":"Y","ipdsId":"IP-090600","costCenters":[{"id":343,"text":"Idaho Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":360434,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1189/coverthb.jpg"},{"id":360435,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1189/ofr20181189.pdf","text":"Report","size":"12.7 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"OFR 2018-1189"}],"country":"United States","state":"Idaho","city":"Stanley","otherGeospatial":"Salmon River","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -115.4892,\n              43.5222\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.2392,\n              43.5222\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.2392,\n              44.7725\n            ],\n            [\n              -115.4892,\n              44.7725\n            ],\n            [\n              -115.4892,\n              43.5222\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","contact":"<p><a href=\"mailto:dc_id@usgs.gov\" data-mce-href=\"mailto:dc_id@usgs.gov\">Director</a>, <a href=\"https://id.water.usgs.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-mce-href=\"https://id.water.usgs.gov\">Idaho Water Science Center</a><br>U.S. Geological Survey<br>230 Collins Road<br>Boise, Idaho 83702</p>","tableOfContents":"<ul><li>Abstract</li><li>Introduction</li><li>Sediment Characteristics and Transport</li><li>Monitoring Approach</li><li>Results</li><li>References Cited</li></ul>","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"publishedDate":"2018-12-18","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2018-12-18","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5c1a1531e4b0708288c2351a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Johnsen, James W. 0000-0001-8241-1265","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8241-1265","contributorId":211602,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Johnsen","given":"James","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":343,"text":"Idaho Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":753008,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

The MA SYE was developed by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection to provide a planning-level decision-support tool designed to help decision makers estimate daily mean streamflows and selected streamflow statistics to assess sustainable water use at ungaged sites in Massachusetts. The MA SYE provides estimates of unaltered streamflow (which is assumed to occur in the absence of any water withdrawals or wastewater discharges and with minimal human development), net streamflow alterations caused by water use, water-use-adjusted streamflow, streamflow yields (estimated unaltered streamflow minus user-defined flow targets), and estimates of the accuracy and uncertainty of estimated unaltered streamflow. The MA SYE uses basin characteristics and water-use volumes (water withdrawals and wastewater-return flows) obtained from the U.S. Geological Survey online StreamStats application to estimate the unaltered and water-use-adjusted streamflows. The MA SYE is a database application with a graphical user interface developed by using Visual Basic for Applications with the 32-bit version of Microsoft Access. The graphical user interface is designed include full documentation for users: an introductory instruction form and onscreen help within each interactive form, including explanation buttons,

Often, reintroductions are implemented after the factors that originally led to species extirpation have been reduced, eliminated, or mitigated. For anadromous <i>Oncorhynchus</i> spp. (Pacific salmon) and <i>O. mykiss</i> (steelhead), addressing barriers to migration, which have been a primary factor in the decline and extirpation of many populations, has been an integral component of recovery efforts. Mitigation has included barrier removal, developing fish passage opportunities, and (or) actively trapping and hauling juvenile and adult anadromous salmonids around barriers.</p><p>With any reintroduction, there are a number of concerns regarding the ecological impact of the reintroduction efforts. Three of the main tenets to consider when assessing reintroductions are (1) the potential benefits if reintroduction is successful, (2) the biological risk through interactions of reintroduced strains with existing populations, and (3) the factors potentially limiting a successful reintroduction. This report focuses on information and data to address the second and third factors as they apply to the upper Lewis River in Washington.</p><p>The upper Lewis River historically contained wild populations of <i>O. tshawytscha</i> (Chinook salmon), <i>O. kisutch </i>(coho salmon), and steelhead. These populations were extirpated after completion of hydropower facilities on Lake Merwin in 1932, Yale Lake in 1953, and Swift Reservoir in 1958, which prevented fish from migrating to and from ocean environments. However, recent licenses issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission require the installation and operation of an upstream fish passage facility at Lake Merwin and a downstream fish passage facility at Swift Reservoir. The licenses were developed in consultation with the National Marine Fisheries Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The overarching goal of this fish reintroduction project is to establish viable, self-sustaining, naturally reproducing, harvestable populations of spring Chinook salmon, winter steelhead, and coho salmon at levels higher than minimum viable populations.</p><p>This report uses a combination of field data and existing information to address six key objectives related to the reintroduction in order to inform decisions about passage at the Yale Lake and Lake Merwin hydropower projects. The objectives are (1) a review of information relevant to anadromous fish reintroduction and full fish passage; (2) a habitat assessment of tributaries to Swift Reservoir, Yale Lake, and Lake Merwin; (3) a field study to assess adult potential for spawning success; (4) an assessment of juvenile production and outmigration success; (5) a Lake Merwin predator impact study; and (6) a set of studies assessing interactions between anadromous and resident fish.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20181190","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with PacifiCorp","usgsCitation":"Al-Chokhachy, R., Clark, C.L., Sorel, M.H., and Beauchamp, D.A., 2018, Development of new information to inform fish passage decisions at the Yale and Merwin hydro projects on the Lewis River, Washington—Final report, 2018: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2018–1190, 206 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20181190.","productDescription":"xv, 206 p.","onlineOnly":"Y","ipdsId":"IP-078496","costCenters":[{"id":481,"text":"Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":360226,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1190/coverthb.jpg"},{"id":360227,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1190/ofr20181190.pdf","text":"Report","size":"12.8 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"OFR 2018-1190"}],"country":"United States","state":"Washington","otherGeospatial":"Lewis River","contact":"<p>Director,&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/centers/norock/\" data-mce-href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/centers/norock/\">Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center</a><br>U.S. Geological Survey<br>2327 University Way, Suite 2<br>Bozeman, MT 59715</p>","tableOfContents":"<ul><li>Acknowledgments</li><li>Executive Summary</li><li>Chapter A.

This study summarizes lithostratigraphic features and deposits in 8 of 10 boreholes drilled in 2 basins located in the western part of Fort Irwin. The western part of Fort Irwin straddles the eastern edge of the Miocene Eagle Crags volcanic field; therefore, many of the rocks penetrated in the boreholes are primary volcanic deposits (lava flow, pyroclastic flow, and fallout tephra deposits) and tuffaceous or lithic-rich sedimentary rocks (siltstone to cobble conglomerates) deposited in alluvial, fluvial, lacustrine, and possibly groundwater discharge environments. Boreholes were drilled with mud-rotary techniques that result in cuttings samples, and only two to four cores ranging in length from 3 to 5 feet (ft) were collected in each borehole.</p><p>Correlation of lithostratigraphic features to borehole geophysical logs (especially gamma and resistivity) helps to establish properties of the rock and enables identification of depositional sequences of similar rock types. Lithostratigraphic features and resistivity in boreholes compare reasonably well to nearby time-domain electromagnetic sounding (resistivity) model results.</p><p>There is no direct age control on the rocks penetrated in the boreholes. The abundance of tuffaceous material as primary or slightly redeposited matrix is used to identify rocks deposited during the activity of the Eagle Crags volcanic field in the Miocene. In contrast, sedimentary rocks composed of detrital and epiclastic grains (only a few of which are tuffaceous rocks as clasts) are inferred to have been deposited during the Quaternary or Pliocene(?). The lithostratigraphic-based estimates of relative age indicate the typical thickness of the Quaternary or Pliocene(?) deposits is 70–170 ft, and that several water-bearing horizons are probable in the Miocene(?) section.</p>","largerWorkType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"largerWorkTitle":"Geology and geophysics applied to groundwater hydrology at Fort Irwin, California","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20131024D","usgsCitation":"Buesch, D.C., 2018, Lithostratigraphic framework in boreholes from Goldstone Lake and Nelson Lake Basins, Fort Irwin, California, chap.

The Fort Irwin area is underlain by rocks ranging in age from Proterozoic to Quaternary that have been deformed by faults as young as Quaternary. Pre-Tertiary sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic bedrock and Miocene volcanic and sedimentary rocks are exposed in the mountains and ridges, between which are basins containing Quaternary to Pliocene deposits. During the Miocene, in the western part of Fort Irwin, development of the Eagle Crags volcanic field resulted in a complex assemblage of lava flows, pyroclastic flow and fallout tephra deposits, and volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks that were deposited in alluvial, fluvial, and locally lacustrine environments; in the eastern part of Fort Irwin, epiclastic sedimentary rocks and minor tuffaceous rocks were deposited in alluvial, fluvial, and locally lacustrine environments. In the Pliocene and Quaternary, sandstone and conglomerate were deposited in alluvial and fluvial environments, and locally fine-grained materials were deposited in lacustrine, eolian, playa, and groundwater discharge environments. The Fort Irwin area is transected by Neogene to Holocene northwest- and east-striking (and fewer northeast-striking) strike-slip, normal, and locally thrust faults. Structural blocks between faults are broadly warped, and locally rocks adjacent to the faults are folded and sheared. Many of these faults influenced the formation or modification of basins, especially after about 11 million years, when the Eastern California Shear Zone developed in this area.

The overall goal of the Rapid Ecoregional Assessments (REAs) is to compile and synthesize regional datasets to facilitate evaluation of the cumulative effects of change agents on priority ecological communities and species. In particular, the REAs identify and map the distribution of communities and wildlife habitats at broad spatial extents and provide assessments of ecological conditions. The REAs also identify where and to what degree ecological resources are currently at risk from change agents, such as development, fire, invasive species, and climate change. The REAs can help managers identify and prioritize potential areas for conservation or restoration, assess cumulative effects as required by the National Environmental Policy Act, and inform landscape-level planning and management decisions for multiple uses of public lands.</p><p>Management questions form the basis for the REA framework and were developed in conjunction with the BLM and other stakeholders. Conservation elements are communities and species that are of regional management concern. Core management questions relate to the key ecological attributes and change agents associated with each conservation element. Integrated management questions synthesize the results of the primary core management questions into overall landscape-level ranks for each conservation element.</p><p>The ecological communities evaluated as conservation elements are shortgrass, mixed-grass, and sand prairies; all grasslands; riparian and nonplaya wetlands; playa wetlands and saline lakes; and prairie streams and rivers. Species and species assemblages evaluated are the freshwater mussel assemblage, Arkansas River shiner (<i>Notropis girardi</i>), ferruginous hawk (<i>Buteo regalis</i>), lesser prairie chicken (<i>Tympanuchus pallidicinctus</i>), snowy plover (<i>Charadrius</i> <i>nivosus</i>), mountain plover (<i>Charadrius montanus</i>), long-billed curlew (<i>Numenius americanus</i>), interior least tern (<i>Sternula antillarum athalassos</i>), burrowing owl (<i>Athene cunicularia</i>), black-tailed prairie dog (<i>Cynomys ludovicianus</i>), bat assemblage, swift fox (<i>Vulpes velox</i>), and mule deer (<i>Odocoileus hemionus</i>).</p><p>The Southern Great Plains REA is summarized in a series of three reports and associated datasets.

The CT SSWUE provides estimates of unaltered streamflow (which is assumed to occur in the absence of any water withdrawals or wastewater discharges and with minimal human development), net streamflow alterations caused by water use, water-use-adjusted streamflow, streamflow yields (estimated unaltered streamflow minus user-defined flow targets), and estimates of the accuracy and uncertainty of estimated unaltered streamflow. The CT SSWUE uses basin characteristics and water-use volumes (water withdrawals and wastewater-return flows) obtained from the U.S. Geological Survey online StreamStats application to estimate the unaltered and water-use-adjusted streamflows. The CT SSWUE is a database application with a graphical user interface developed by using Visual Basic for Applications with the 32-bit version of Microsoft Access.

HNAs are led periodically by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Upper Mississippi River Restoration (UMRR) Program, which is the primary habitat restoration program on the UMRS. The UMRR Program helps determine how Federal, State and nongovernmental agencies can best address environmental issues on one of the world’s largest and most diverse river systems. Each indicator in this report represents at least one management objective developed for the river system. These objectives were developed in a previous planning effort using an ecosystem management conceptual framework (USACE, 2011). The objectives represent five essential ecosystem characteristics: hydraulics and hydrology, biogeochemistry, geomorphology, habitat, and biota. Subsequent to the 2011 planning effort, the UMRR increased its focus on improving the health and resilience of the UMRS. The indicators presented here are based on the five essential ecosystem characteristics and four aspects of ecosystems thought to support general ecosystem resilience (the ability of an ecosystem to adapt and respond to disturbances): (1) connectivity, (2) diversity and redundancy, (3) controlling variables, and (4) slow processes. Thus, we developed indicators that quantify both essential ecosystem characteristics and characteristics of a resilient river system. The indicators documented in this report focus on important aspects of river floodplain hydrogeomorphology, given the fundamental role hydrogeomorphology plays in determining habitat conditions and ecosystem health and resilience at broad geographic scales. The information contained within this report provides a broader scale (for example, system-wide) context for management decisions made at finer scales (for example, within river reaches or at project sites) and is designed for use in the formal system-wide Habitat Needs Assessment II (HNA–II) led by the UMRR Program.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20181143","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Upper Mississippi River Restoration Program","usgsCitation":"De Jager, N.R., Rogala, J.T., Rohweder, J.J., Van Appledorn, M., Bouska, K.L., Houser, Jeffrey, N., and Jankowski, K.J., 2018, Indicators of ecosystem structure and function for the Upper Mississippi River System: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2018–1143, 115 p., including 4 appendixes, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20181143.","productDescription":"xiii, 115 p.","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-092913","costCenters":[{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":360203,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1143/coverthb2.jpg"},{"id":360204,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1143/ofr20181143.pdf","text":"Report","size":"45.5 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"OFR 2018-1143"}],"country":"United States","otherGeospatial":"Upper Mississippi River System","contact":"<p>Director, <a href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/centers/umesc\" data-mce-href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/centers/umesc\">Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center</a><br>U.S. Geological Survey <br>2630 Fanta Reed Road <br>La Crosse, WI 5460</p>","tableOfContents":"<ul><li>Acknowledgements</li><li>1.

In April 2015, the USFWS determined that the Bi-State DPS did not warrant listing under the ESA, but monitoring continued for assessment of long-term population stability (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 2015a). Threats to this population include geographic isolation, expansion of single-leaf pinyon (<i>Pinus monophylla</i>) and Utah juniper (<i>Juniperus osteosperma</i>), anthropogenic activities, changes in historical wildfire cycles and the conversion of native shrubs to invasive annual grasslands, and recent changes in predator communities. As part of a broad long-term monitoring program, we used an integrated population model to estimate finite rate of population change (λ) of each subpopulation within the Bi-State DPS from 2003 to 2017. Since 2012, the Bi-State DPS experienced multiple years of drought conditions associated with periods of population decline across multiple populations. The 14-year average (λ) for the Bi-State DPS is 0.98 (95 percent CRI=0.70–1.31). Three subpopulations (Mount Grant, Fales, Bodie Hills) showed continued evidence of stability and growth as the average λ exceeded 1.0. Moreover, we implemented the first year of an experimental pre-nesting female and brood translocation program to bolster a critically low population of sage-grouse in Parker Meadows, California. Finally, we report summary statistics describing sage-grouse movements and relative abundance of avian predators across all years of the study. </p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological

For the burst swim speed experiment, we identified a slightly reduced, but statistically significant difference in burst-swimming speeds for gastric- and surgical-tagged fish implanted with dummy radio and acoustic transmitters. For the swim tunnel experiment, surgical-tagged fish were one-half as likely to gulp air at the surface of the swim tunnel as untagged and gastric-tagged fish. We observed higher probabilities of fish gulping air at the surface for fish with tag ratios greater than 5 percent, suggesting that smaller fish required greater adjustment to their buoyancy than larger fish. We also observed that gastric-tagged fish had, on average, steeper swimming angles than untagged and surgical-tagged fish in the swim tunnel.</p><p>In Chapter 2, we conducted a field-based laboratory experiment at John Day Dam to assess the sustained swimming performance (i.e., critical swimming speed or <i>U<sub>crit</sub></i>) of in-river migrating subyearling Chinook salmon that were surgically implanted with dummy radio and acoustic transmitters. Statistical tests indicated a significant reduction (about 8.3 centimeters per second [cm/s] or 1 body length per second) in sustained swimming performance for fish implanted with either radio or acoustic transmitters. We also found a significant reduction in <i>U<sub>crit</sub></i> of -1.38 cm/s for every 1 degree Celsius (°C) increase in temperature.</p><p>In Chapter 3, we assessed the effects of water temperature on the physiology, mortality, and swimming performance of juvenile Chinook salmon in laboratory and field experiments. Juvenile Chinook salmon generally showed elevated stress response, elevated mortality, and reduced swimming performance as water temperature increased. We concluded that the water temperature threshold for handling and tagging fish with minimal impacts seems to be near 23 °C. At 25 °C, we documented very high mortality and dramatically reduced swimming performance of tagged fish relative to controls. Telemetry studies conducted at 25 °C would not meet the critical assumption that the transmitter has minimal impacts on the study fish.</p><p>In the Chapter 4, we evaluated the effects of antenna length and antenna material on the subsequent tag output power, reception, and detection of tagged fish. In a laboratory, we compared the relative signal strengths in water of 150-megahertz transmitters over a range of antenna lengths (from 6 to 30 cm) and materials (one weighing about one-half of the other). The peak relative signal strengths were at 20 and 22 cm, which are about 1 wavelength underwater at the test frequency. The peak relative signal strengths at these antenna lengths were about 50 percent greater than those of 30-cm antennas, a length commonly used in fisheries research.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20181186","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers","usgsCitation":"Perry, R.W., and Liedtke, T.L., eds., 2018, Effects of transmitter type, tagging method, body size, and temperature on behavior, physiology, and swimming performance of juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha): U.S. Geological Survey Open Report 2018–1186, 74 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20181186.","productDescription":"viii, 74 p.","onlineOnly":"Y","ipdsId":"IP-076451","costCenters":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":360005,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1186/coverthb.jpg"},{"id":360006,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1186/ofr20181186.pdf","text":"Report","size":"1.9 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"OFR 2018-1186"}],"contact":"<p>Director, <a href=\"https://wfrc.usgs.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-mce-href=\"https://wfrc.usgs.gov/\">Western Fisheries Research Center</a><br>U.S. Geological Survey<br>6505 NE 65th Street<br>Seattle, Washington 98115</p>","tableOfContents":"<ul><li>Executive Summary</li><li>Chapter 1.

The barrier island system provides numerous economical (tourism, fisheries) and natural (habitat for migratory birds, natural protection of inland and coastal areas from storms) benefits to the State of Alabama. The complex geomorphology of Dauphin Island is partly a response to temporal variations in the direction and magnitude of sediment transport along and across the barrier island system. In this report, we present open-ocean and back-barrier shoreline change rates at different time scales to evaluate the island’s dominant behavior (expansion or widening and contraction or narrowing) over the last 75 years. The spatial and temporal variability of barrier island width provides baseline and historical context for potential restoration alternatives being considered as part of the Alabama Barrier Island Restoration Feasibility Study. Open-ocean shorelines have eroded continuously over the last 75 years, with rates ranging from 1.5 to 4 meters per year. Back-barrier shorelines are less uniform than open-ocean shorelines, but are, on average, also eroding over the same period. Periods of back-barrier progradation are observed but generally occur during discrete, large altering events like hurricanes that overwash or breach narrow sections of the barrier island. Because both shorelines are eroding, the width of the island has decreased during the last 75 years. The section to the west of a breach that opened during Hurricanes Ivan and Katrina (known as Katrina Cut) exhibits a steady, rapid decrease in width while the section to the east of the breach has gone through periods of expansion and contraction and has only recently begun slowly narrowing. Although the recent trends indicate declining widths, the back-barrier progradation rates in this area were the highest compared to other time periods, which abated extreme narrowing caused by increased open-ocean shoreline erosion. These data and the interpreted results indicate that both short-term (annual) and long-term (decadal) cross-barrier sediment exchange is a key component of sustaining barrier island width. Therefore, any mechanisms that influence this exchange, whether from natural processes (overwash, breaching, or inlet dynamics) or human activities (development, post-storm recovery, restoration), should be considered when evaluating the long-term sustainability of barrier island systems.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20181170","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District","usgsCitation":"Smith, C.G., Long, J.W., Henderson, R.E., and Nelson, P.R., 2018, Assessing the impact of open-ocean and back-barrier shoreline change on Dauphin Island, Alabama, at multiple time scales over the last 75 years: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2018–1170, 20 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20181170.","productDescription":"vii, 20 p.","onlineOnly":"Y","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-092796","costCenters":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":359767,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1170/ofr20181170.pdf","text":"Report","size":"949 KB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"OFR 2018-1170"},{"id":359766,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1170/coverthb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alabama","otherGeospatial":"Dauphin Island","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -88.3626937866211,\n              30.1667\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.03447723388672,\n              30.1667\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.03447723388672,\n              30.3333\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.3626937866211,\n              30.3333\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.3626937866211,\n              30.1667\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","contact":"<p>Director, <a href=\"https://coastal.er.usgs.gov/\" data-mce-href=\"https://coastal.er.usgs.gov/\">St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center</a><br>U.S. Geological Survey<br>600 4th Street South<br>St. Petersburg, FL 33701</p>","tableOfContents":"<ul><li>Acknowledgments</li><li>Abstract</li><li>Introduction</li><li>Methods</li><li>Results</li><li>Discussion</li><li>Summary</li><li>References Cited</li></ul>","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"publishedDate":"2018-11-30","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2018-11-30","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5c025a67e4b0815414cc782a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Smith, Christopher G. 0000-0002-8075-4763 cgsmith@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8075-4763","contributorId":3410,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Smith","given":"Christopher","email":"cgsmith@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[{"id":186,"text":"Coastal and Marine Geology Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":24708,"text":"Lower Mississippi-Gulf Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":749193,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Long, Joseph W. 0000-0003-2912-1992","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2912-1992","contributorId":202183,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Long","given":"Joseph W.","affiliations":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":749194,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Henderson, Rachel E. 0000-0001-5810-7941","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5810-7941","contributorId":209952,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Henderson","given":"Rachel E.","affiliations":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":749195,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Nelson, Paul R. panelson@usgs.gov","contributorId":209953,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Nelson","given":"Paul","email":"panelson@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":749196,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

This information is intended for use in conducting an Environmental Assessment prior to the transfer of ownership (conveyance) to the State. The Colorado State Land Board filed a selective application to obtain public land and mineral estate in lieu of lands to which the State of Colorado was entitled but did not receive at the time of statehood. To address this legal obligation, 339 parcels of Federal lands (organized into 89 indemnity units [IUs]), currently under management by the BLM, have been identified as suitable for transfer to the State. The IUs include 23,130 acres of surface and mineral estate and 6,150 acres of mineral estate only. The specific land parcels to be transferred to the State will be finalized after an Environmental Assessment and other evaluations are completed.</p><p>To provide the biophysical information necessary for conducting a future Environmental Assessment of the potential effects of the proposed land transfer, information on ecological communities, soil characteristics, and land use was summarized at three levels: (1) all of Colorado, (2) lands under the jurisdiction of the BLM, and (3) the 89 IUs. Information was also synthesized and summarized for 179 plant and animal species or subspecies of management concern to evaluate which species had the potential for occurrence on IUs.

The purpose of the FSC is to collect downriver migrating juvenile salmonids (Chinook salmon [<i>Oncorhynchus tshawytscha</i>], Coho salmon [<i>Oncorhynchus kisutch</i>], and steelhead [<i>Oncorhynchus mykiss</i>]) at the North Fork Dam and to safely route them around the hydroelectric projects. The objective of the imaging sonar component of this study was to assess the behaviors of both smolt and predator-size fish (smolt [60–250 millimeter] and predator 350–650 [millimeter]) observed near the FSC and to determine if the presence of predator-size fish influenced the abundance of smolt-size fish. An imaging sonar was deployed near the entrance to the FSC during the spring smolt out-migration period. The imaging sonar technology was an informative tool for assessing abundance and spatial and temporal behaviors of both smolt and predator-size fish near the entrance of the FSC. Both smolt and predator-size fish were regularly observed near the entrance, with greater abundances observed during day than during night. Behavioral differences were also observed between the two fish-size classes, with smolt-size fish traveling straighter with more directed movement, and predator-size fish generally showing more milling behavior. Additionally, the presence of predator-size fish may be effecting the abundance and direction of travel of smolt-size fish, as counts of smolt-size fish were reduced in conjunction with the presence of predator-size fish and a greater proportion of smolt-size fish were observed traveling away from the FSC when predator-size fish were present than when predator-size fish were absent. Results of modeling potential predator-prey interactions and influences indicated that both the number of juvenile fish tracks and photoperiod had the strongest effects on the number of predator fish tracks, with more predator-size fish tracks observed as the number of smolt-size fish tracks increased. Overall, the results indicate that predator-size fish are present near the entrance of the FSC, concomitant with smolt-size fish, and their abundances and behaviors indicate that they may be drawn to the entrance of the FSC because of the abundance of prey-sized fish found there.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20181182","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with Portland General Electric","usgsCitation":"Smith, C.D., Plumb J.M., and Adams, N.S. 2018, Fish behavior and abundance monitoring near a floating surface collector in North Fork Reservoir, Clackamas River, Oregon, using multi-beam acoustic imaging sonar: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2018-1182, 28 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20181182.","productDescription":"vi, 28 p.","onlineOnly":"Y","ipdsId":"IP-100791","costCenters":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":359740,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1182/coverthb2.jpg"},{"id":359741,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1182/ofr20181182.pdf","text":"Report","size":"5 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"OFR 2018-1182"}],"country":"United States","state":"Oregon","otherGeospatial":"North Fork Dam","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -122.73376464843749,\n              45.0657615477031\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.73263549804688,\n              45.0657615477031\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.73263549804688,\n              45.45724086262233\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.73376464843749,\n              45.45724086262233\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.73376464843749,\n              45.0657615477031\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","contact":"<p>Director, <a href=\"https://wfrc.usgs.gov/\" target=\"-blank\" data-mce-href=\"https://wfrc.usgs.gov/\">Western Fisheries Research Center</a><br>U.S. Geological Survey<br>6505 NE 65th Street<br>Seattle, Washington 98115</p>","tableOfContents":"<ul><li>Abstract</li><li>Introduction</li><li>Methods</li><li>Results</li><li>Discussion</li><li>Acknowledgments</li><li>References Cited</li></ul>","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"publishedDate":"2018-11-28","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2018-11-28","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5bffb75be4b0815414ca8e44","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Smith, Collin D. 0000-0003-4184-5686 cdsmith@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4184-5686","contributorId":7915,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Smith","given":"Collin D.","email":"cdsmith@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":751447,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Plumb, John M. 0000-0003-4255-1612 jplumb@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4255-1612","contributorId":3569,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Plumb","given":"John","email":"jplumb@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":751448,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Adams, Noah S. 0000-0002-8354-0293 nadams@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8354-0293","contributorId":3521,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Adams","given":"Noah","email":"nadams@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":751449,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Point measurements of water temperature and water quality (dissolved oxygen, specific conductance, and pH) also were collected at multiple locations and depths within the river and in the lower reaches of three major tributaries (Clackamas and Molalla Rivers, and Johnson Creek). These datasets were collected to identify potential locations of cold-water refuges for sensitive fish species, and to characterize daily, seasonal, and spatial variability in water conditions. These datasets may be useful for local municipalities that are required to identify cold-water refuges (as defined in State of Oregon water-quality standards) and determine approaches for protecting and enhancing these features as part of their Willamette River water-temperature Total Maximum Daily Load implementation plans. This report documents the data collection methods, provides summary graphs and maps of the water-temperature data, and outlines steps for accessing the data.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20181184","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the City of Lake Oswego, City of Wilsonville, Meyer Memorial Trust, and Benton Soil and Water Conservation District","usgsCitation":"Mangano, J.F., Piatt, D.R., Jones, K.L, and Rounds, S.A., 2018, Water temperature in tributaries, off-channel features, and main channel of the lower Willamette River, northwestern Oregon, summers 2016 and 2017: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2018-1184, 33 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20181184.","productDescription":"iv, 33 p.","onlineOnly":"Y","ipdsId":"IP-099746","costCenters":[{"id":518,"text":"Oregon Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":359616,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1184/ofr20181184.pdf","text":"Report","size":"11.1 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"OFR 2018-1184"},{"id":359615,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1184/coverthb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Oregon","otherGeospatial":"Lower Willamette River","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -122.85736083984375,\n              45.268121280142886\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.57995605468749,\n              45.268121280142886\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.57995605468749,\n              45.66108710567762\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.85736083984375,\n              45.66108710567762\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.85736083984375,\n              45.268121280142886\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","contact":"<p><a href=\"mailto:dc_or@usgs.gov\" data-mce-href=\"mailto:dc_or@usgs.gov\">Director</a>, <a href=\"https://or.water.usgs.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-mce-href=\"https://or.water.usgs.gov\">Oregon Water Science Center</a><br>U.S. Geological Survey<br>2130 SW 5th Avenue<br>Portland, Oregon 97201</p>","tableOfContents":"<ul><li>Abstract</li><li>Introduction</li><li>Data Collection Methods and Dataset Access</li><li>Temperature Data by Monitoring Reach</li><li>Summary</li><li>Acknowledgments</li><li>References Cited</li><li>Appendix 1.

The Laurentide Ice Sheet shaped the landscape of the region about 12,000 to 14,000 years ago. The retreat of the ice sheet left behind low-permeability glacial till and a landscape dotted with millions of depressions known today as prairie potholes. The wetlands that subsequently formed in these depressions, prairie-pothole wetlands, provide critical migratory-bird habitat and support dynamic aquatic communities. Extensive grasslands and productive agricultural systems surround these wetland ecosystems. In prairie-pothole wetlands, the compositions of plant, invertebrate, and vertebrate communities are highly dependent on hydrogeochemical conditions. Regional climate shifts between wet and dry periods affect the length of time that wetlands contain ponded surface water and the chemistry of that ponded water. Land-use change can exacerbate or reduce the effects of climate on wetland hydrology and water chemistry.</p><p>A mechanistic understanding of the relation among climate, land use, hydrology, chemistry, and biota in prairie-pothole wetlands is needed to better understand the complex, and often interacting, effects of climate and land use on prairie-pothole wetland systems and to facilitate climate and land-use change adaptation efforts. The Pothole Hydrology-Linked Systems Simulator (PHyLiSS) model was developed to address this need. The model simulates water-surface elevation dynamics in prairie-pothole wetlands and quantifies changes in salinity. The PHyLiSS model is unique among other wetland models because it accommodates differing sizes and morphometries of wetland basins, is not dependent on a priori designations of wetland class, and allows for functional changes associated with dynamic shifts in ecohydrological states. The PHyLiSS model also has the capability to simulate wetland salinity, and potential future iterations will also simulate the effects of changing hydrology and geochemical conditions on biota. This report documents the development of the hydrological and geochemical components of the PHyLiSS model and provides example applications.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20181165","usgsCitation":"McKenna, O.P., Mushet, D.M., Scherff, E.J., McLean, K.I., and Mills, C.T., 2018, The Pothole Hydrology-Linked Systems Simulator (PHyLiSS)—Development and application of a systems model for prairie-pothole wetlands: U.S. Geological Survey Report 2018–1165, 21 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20181165.","productDescription":"vii, 21 p.","numberOfPages":"34","onlineOnly":"N","ipdsId":"IP-098927","costCenters":[{"id":480,"text":"Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":359586,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1165/coverthb.jpg"},{"id":359587,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1165/ofr20181165.pdf","text":"Report","size":"10.2 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"OFR 2018–1165"},{"id":359588,"rank":3,"type":{"id":7,"text":"Companion Files"},"url":"https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/5b840f3ee4b05f6e321b4f04","text":"Pothole Hydrology Linked Systems Simulator (PHyLiSS)"}],"contact":"<p>Director, <a data-mce-href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/centers/npwrc\" href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/centers/npwrc\">Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center</a> <br>U.S. Geological Survey<br>8711 37th Street Southeast <br>Jamestown, ND 58401</p>","tableOfContents":"<ul><li>Acknowledgments</li><li>Abstract</li><li>Introduction</li><li>Pothole Hydrology-Linked Systems Simulator (PHyLiSS) Model Documentation</li><li>Using the Pothole Hydrology-Linked Systems Simulator (PHyLiSS) Model</li><li>Stella Architect Interface</li><li>Applications and Future Directions</li><li>Summary</li><li>References Cited</li></ul>","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":4,"text":"Rolla PSC"},"publishedDate":"2018-11-20","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2018-11-20","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5bf52b66e4b045bfcae27ffc","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"McKenna, Owen P. 0000-0002-5937-9436 omckenna@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5937-9436","contributorId":198598,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"McKenna","given":"Owen","email":"omckenna@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":480,"text":"Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":748684,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Mushet, David M. 0000-0002-5910-2744 dmushet@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5910-2744","contributorId":1299,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mushet","given":"David","email":"dmushet@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":480,"text":"Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":748685,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Scherff, Eric J.","contributorId":193076,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Scherff","given":"Eric J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":748686,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"McLean, Kyle 0000-0003-3803-0136 kmclean@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3803-0136","contributorId":168533,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"McLean","given":"Kyle","email":"kmclean@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":480,"text":"Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":748687,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Mills, Christopher T. 0000-0001-8414-1414 cmills@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8414-1414","contributorId":150137,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mills","given":"Christopher T.","email":"cmills@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":211,"text":"Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":171,"text":"Central Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":748688,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

This hotspot is characterized by a high number of rare and endemic species, which persist alongside a major urban epicenter. San Diego County has implemented a strategic management plan that identifies species, based on low numbers of occurrences or high level of threat, for which management practices are recommended. In creating a management plan for rare species, it is important to strike a balance between preserving locally adapted traits and maintaining genetic diversity, as species’ ranges fluctuate in response to a changing climate and habitat fragmentation. This project, in partnership with the San Diego Natural History Museum, aims to provide a reference point for the current status of genetic diversity of rare plant species that will inform future preservation and restoration efforts. We focused on six threatened or endangered plant species: <i>Acanthomintha ilicifolia</i>, <i>Baccharis vanessae</i>, <i>Chloropyron maritimum</i> ssp. <i>maritimum</i>, <i>Deinandra conjugens</i>, <i>Dicranostegia orcuttiana</i>, and <i>Monardella viminea</i>. For each species, botanists from the San Diego Natural History Museum visited all known occurrences in San Diego County and collected leaf tissue for genetic and cytological analysis. We then developed a panel of genetic markers to estimate genetic diversity and population structure. This population genetic survey provided insight into the amount of genetic differentiation across each species’ range, identified isolated occurrences potentially subject to inbreeding or genetic bottlenecks, and identified areas that are rich sources of allelic diversity. Finally, we convened a panel of experts to review results and compatible management options for each species. A summary of the management workshop is included in this report. Overall, we found low genetic differentiation among occurrences across the San Diego region for all species, with the exception of <i>A. ilicifolia</i>. Relative inbreeding was low and consistent across sites, and genetic diversity across sites was variable, with noted exceptions. These findings allow for a wide array of management options that are compatible with panmictic population structure in five of the six surveyed species.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S.

The original PSPAP (v. 1.0) was a catch-effort based monitoring program where population abundance and trend were monitored using a relative index, catch per unit effort. In 2013, the Missouri River Recovery Program (MRRP), led by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), began a reassessment of science and monitoring approaches to support a new river management plan. The need to redesign the PSPAP was triggered by the recognition that the PSPAP v. 1.0 would not be optimally effective in contributing information needed to make decisions about the pallid sturgeon fundamental management objective—to avoid jeopardizing the continued existence of the pallid sturgeon from USACE actions in the Missouri River—identified in the Missouri River Science and Adaptive Management Plan. The fundamental management objective includes two management subobjectives: (1) increase pallid sturgeon recruitment to age 1 and (2) maintain or increase numbers of pallid sturgeon as an interim measure until sufficient and sustained natural recruitment occurs. These two management subobjectives motivated the development of two fundamental information objectives for PSPAP v. 2.0: (1) to provide information needed to quantify recruitment to age 1 and (2) to quantify pallid sturgeon population abundance and trend. The charge to the authors of this report was to develop an approach to monitoring the pallid sturgeon population in the Missouri River that would contribute information toward gauging overall performance of management actions to achieve the fundamental objectives of the MRRP and to potentially improve understanding of linkages from the management activities to population responses. We used transparent and robust processes to identify alternative monitoring designs that meet the fundamental objectives for managing pallid sturgeon in the MRRP, with a focus on simulation models to evaluate the performance of varying monitoring. This report documents the process of comparing potential alternative monitoring design abilities to provide decision-relevant information for management of the species. The process includes&nbsp; evaluation of information content and attendant uncertainties and considers tradeoffs in types of information valued by stakeholders. The anticipated end product of this process will be synthesized in a decision-support tool that can be used to facilitate learning and iterative revisions of the monitoring roadmap.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20181166","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the Missouri River Recovery Program","usgsCitation":"Colvin, M.E., Reynolds, S., Jacobson, R.B., Pierce, L.L., Steffensen, K.D., and Welker, T.L., 2018, Overview and progress of the pallid sturgeon assessment framework redesign process: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2018–1166, 87 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20181166.","productDescription":"vii, 87 p.","numberOfPages":"96","onlineOnly":"Y","ipdsId":"IP-097824","costCenters":[{"id":192,"text":"Columbia Environmental Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":359394,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1166/ofr20181166.pdf","text":"Report","size":"5.31 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"OFR 2018–1166"},{"id":359393,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1166/coverthb.jpg"}],"contact":"<p>Director, <a data-mce-href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/centers/cerc\" href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/centers/cerc\">Columbia Environmental Research Center</a> <br>U.S. Geological Survey <br>4200 New Haven Road <br>Columbia, MO 65201</p>","tableOfContents":"<ul><li>Acknowledgments</li><li>Abstract</li><li>Introduction</li><li>Context of the Pallid Sturgeon Population Assessment Program in the Adaptive Management Program</li><li>The Need to Initiate a Pallid Sturgeon Population Assessment Program Redesign Geographic Context</li><li>Redesign Process Overview</li><li>Identify Stakeholder Views on Objectives for the Monitoring Program</li><li>Calculate Performance Metrics Given Alternative Monitoring Designs</li><li>Synthesize Outputs and Develop a Decision-Support Tool to Compare Alternative Monitoring Designs</li><li>Refine Preliminary Outputs with Pilot Studies</li><li>Summary</li><li>References Cited</li><li>Appendix 1.

The SRP is a partnership between The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to provide ecologically sustainable flows downstream of dams while still meeting human needs and congressionally authorized purposes. TNC, USACE, and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) developed this framework specifically for the spawning reaches and lower, alluvial reaches of the Middle Fork Willamette, McKenzie, North Santiam, South Santiam, and main-stem Santiam Rivers. This monitoring framework links stakeholder-defined ecological goals and environmental flow recommendations with measurable objectives and monitoring activities to assess whether those objectives are achieved. Monitoring activities are described for distinct spatial scales (reaches, zones, and sites), which are coupled with appropriate measurement frequency (monthly to decadal or following specific flow conditions). Initial monitoring efforts could focus on developing baseline datasets for tracking future changes and developing robust relationships between flow and hydrogeomorphic and vegetation processes. These relationships would support stakeholders in developing refined environmental flow recommendations that could be efficiently evaluated in the future using continuous discharge records and strategic field-based monitoring.</p><p>Environmental flow recommendations were developed to achieve certain hydraulic targets (generally defined through water-surface elevation and inundation extent) to support critical habitats for native species at different times of the year. Additionally, flow recommendations were created to support geomorphic processes that create and sustain important riparian and aquatic habitats. The spatial extent, depth, timing, duration, and frequency of inundation extents can be monitored using a combination of water-level loggers, crest-stage gages, surveys, and mapping from aerial photographs or satellite images. Changes in channel morphology (such as increases in gravel bars, side channels or channel width) can be evaluated through repeat mapping of aerial photographs or lidar and carried, and repeat surveys of channel-bed elevations could document patterns of incision or aggradation. Changes in bed texture (such as fining or coarsening) could focus on spawning habitats for spring Chinook salmon (<i>Oncorhynchus tshawytscha</i>). Deposition of fine-grained sediment in floodplain channels could be evaluated with deposition pads, repeat surveys, or lidar.</p><p>Environmental flow recommendations also were developed to promote various stages of floodplain forest succession, with a focus on black cottonwood (<i>Populus trichocarpa</i>) because its life history is tightly coupled with floodplain hydrology and disturbance processes. Monitoring approaches for vegetation include strategies for tracking all phases of stand recruitment, establishment, and succession for black cottonwood. Potential recruitment sites can be identified by mapping unvegetated gravel bars from aerial photographs or lidar. Reach-scale patterns of stand recruitment and early succession can be monitored at the reach scale by mapping seral stages of floodplain vegetation from aerial photographs and lidar at the decadal scale. These monitoring approaches also could identify areas of stand recruitment or floodplain recycling. Site-scale monitoring of black cottonwood recruitment and establishment could focus on vegetation plots situated along floodplain transects within laterally dynamic monitoring zones to track seedling establishment or stem exclusion and early seral succession. Reach-scale landcover mapping from aerial photographs and lidar would complement site-scale observations and aid in characterizing overall status and condition of floodplain forests, which could be related to streamflows and hydrogeomorphic processes.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20181157","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with The Nature Conservancy and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers","usgsCitation":"Wallick, J.R., Bach, L.B., Keith, M.K., Olson, M., Mangano, J.F., and Jones, K.L., 2018, Monitoring framework for evaluating hydrogeomorphic and vegetation responses to environmental flows in the Middle Fork Willamette, McKenzie, and Santiam River Basins, Oregon: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2018–1157, 66 p.,\nhttps://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20181157.","productDescription":"vi, 66 p.","onlineOnly":"Y","ipdsId":"IP-090522 ","costCenters":[{"id":518,"text":"Oregon Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":359441,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1157/ofr20181157.pdf","text":"Report","size":"11.1 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"OFR 2018-1157"},{"id":359440,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1157/coverthb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Oregon","otherGeospatial":"Middle Fork Willamette, McKenzie, and Santiam River Basins","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -123.33,\n              43.8333\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.1667,\n              43.8333\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.1667,\n              45\n            ],\n            [\n              -123.33,\n              45\n            ],\n            [\n              -123.33,\n              43.8333\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","contact":"<p><a href=\"mailto:dc_or@usgs.gov\" data-mce-href=\"mailto:dc_or@usgs.gov\">Director</a>, <a href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/centers/or-water\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-mce-href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/centers/or-water\">Oregon Water Science Center</a><br>U.S. Geological Survey<br>2130 SW 5th Avenue<br>Portland, Oregon 97201</p>","tableOfContents":"<ul><li>Executive Summary</li><li>Introduction</li><li>Study Area and Reaches</li><li>General Monitoring Framework Considerations</li><li>Monitoring Hydrogeomorphic Responses to Environmental Flows</li><li>Monitoring Riparian Vegetation Responses to Environmental Flows</li><li>Conclusions</li><li>Acknowledgments</li><li>References Cited</li><li>Appendixes 1–4</li></ul>","publishedDate":"2018-11-14","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2018-11-14","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5bed4271e4b0b3fc5cf91c76","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Wallick, J.

Between 2004 and 2016, about 37,000 acre-ft of groundwater was withdrawn by these wells for municipal supply. In addition, about 37,000 acre-ft of shallow seepage was captured by French drains adjacent to the North and West Dams and used for municipal supply, irrigation, or returned to the reservoir. From 2002 through 2016, about 141,000 acre-ft of water seeped beneath the reservoir to recharge the underlying Navajo Sandstone aquifer, which includes about 14,200 acre-ft of recharge during the 2015–16 time period since the last report published in 2016.</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>Water quality continued to be monitored at various wells in Sand Hollow during 2015–16 to evaluate the timing and location of reservoir recharge as it moved through the aquifer.

Native prairies managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) in the Prairie Pothole Region of the northern Great Plains have been extensively invaded by nonnative, cool-season species of grasses. These invasions were believed to reflect a common management history of long-term rest and little or no defoliation by natural processes (burning and grazing). To address the challenges associated with these invasive species, the FWS embraced a collaborative approach in 2008, in partnership with U.S. Geological Survey, to restore native prairies on lands managed by FWS. This approach is known as the Native Prairie Adaptive Management (NPAM) initiative and was based on the application of an adaptive decision-support framework to assist managers in selecting management actions despite uncertainty and in maximizing learning from management outcomes. The primary objective of this approach was to increase the composition of native grasses and forbs on native, unbroken sod while minimizing costs. The alternative management actions that were used to meet this objective include grazing, burning, burning and grazing, and rest (no action).<br></p><p>A major challenge for FWS resource managers participating in the NPAM initiative was the recognition that other taxa, besides native grasses and forbs, may be affected by the alternative management practices, thus complicating the adaptive-management cycle and deepening the uncertainty. Specifically, many grassland birds are sensitive to changes in vegetation composition and structure, and thus management that alters vegetation also may affect bird populations. The primary objectives of this study were to assess the effects of alternative management actions on grassland birds on FWS-owned grasslands that are managed under the adaptive-management framework, and to assess the association of vegetation structure and composition as mechanisms for triggering grassland bird responses to management.<br></p><p>We surveyed breeding birds and sampled vegetation on 89&nbsp;native prairie NPAM units managed by the FWS during 2011–13, including 55&nbsp;units in 2011, 87&nbsp;units in 2012, and 87&nbsp;units in 2013. The NPAM units were in 19 FWS refuge complexes and wetland management districts, including 14&nbsp;complexes in FWS Region 6 (North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana) and 5 complexes in FWS Region 3 (Minnesota). Generalized linear mixed models were used to evaluate the effects of management actions on vegetation structure, vegetation composition, and densities of common bird species. Vegetation structure and composition varied among study units and years, and many of these differences were linked to specific management activities or to the recency of those activities. We recorded 110&nbsp;bird species in the 89&nbsp;adaptive-management units. Models of bird abundance reflected not only disturbance-derived changes in vegetation structure and species-specific vegetation preferences but also the influence of defoliation treatments. Vegetation composition was less important to grassland birds than vegetation structure; in particular, mean vertical obstruction (vegetation height-density), bare-ground cover, and litter depth positively or negatively influenced densities of some grassland bird species. The diversity of bird responses to management in this study underscores the complexity of natural grassland systems and the need for heterogeneity management in grasslands in this region.<br></p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20181152","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and

S3 is a deterministic life-stage-structured population model that tracks daily growth, movement, and survival of juvenile salmon. A key theme of the model is that river flow affects habitat availability and capacity, which in turn drives density-dependent population dynamics. To explicitly link population dynamics to habitat quality and quantity, the river environment is constructed as a one-dimensional series of linked habitat units, each of which has an associated daily timeseries of discharge, water temperature, and useable habitat area or carrying capacity. In turn, the physical characteristics of each habitat unit and the number of fish occupying each unit drive survival and growth within each habitat unit and movement of fish among habitat units.</p><p class=\"p1\">The physical template of the Restoration Reach was formed by classifying the river into 356 meso-habitat units comprised of runs, riffles, and pools. For each habitat unit, we developed a timeseries of daily flow, water temperature, amount of available spawning habitat, and fry and parr carrying capacity. Capacity timeseries were constructed using state-of-the-art models of spatially explicit hydrodynamics and quantitative fish habitat relationships developed for the Trinity River. These variables were then used to drive population dynamics such as egg growth and survival and juvenile movement, growth, and survival.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20181174","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service","usgsCitation":"Perry, R.W., Jones, E.C., Plumb, J.M., Som, N.A., Hetrick, N.J., Hardy, T.B., Polos, J.C., Martin, A.C., Alvarez, J.S., and De Juilio, K.P., 2018, Application of the Stream Salmonid Simulator (S3) to the restoration reach of the Trinity River, California—Parameterization and calibration: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2018-1174, 64 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20181174.","productDescription":"vi, 65 p.","onlineOnly":"Y","ipdsId":"IP-092954","costCenters":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":359376,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1174/ofr20181174.pdf","text":"Report","size":"10.7 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"OFR 2018-1174"},{"id":359375,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1174/coverthb2.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","otherGeospatial":"Trinity River","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -123.12927246093751,\n              40.635319920747456\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.7674102783203,\n              40.635319920747456\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.7674102783203,\n              40.77950154452172\n            ],\n            [\n              -123.12927246093751,\n              40.77950154452172\n            ],\n            [\n              -123.12927246093751,\n              40.635319920747456\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","contact":"<p>Director, <a href=\"https://wfrc.usgs.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-mce-href=\"https://wfrc.usgs.gov/\">Western Fisheries Research Center</a><br>U.S. Geological Survey<br>6505 NE 65th Street<br>Seattle, Washington 98115</p>","tableOfContents":"<ul><li>Executive Summary</li><li>Introduction</li><li>Methods</li><li>Results</li><li>Discussion</li><li>Acknowledgements</li><li>References Cited</li><li>Appendix 1.
