DATE: JULY 23, 1996
SUBJECT: REPORT ON A PROJECT TO IMPROVE SURVIVAL RATES OF MIGRATING SALMON
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
AUTHORIZE Chair to a sign a letter to the California.Fishery Restoration Foundation expressing support for
their proposal entitled "Pilot San Joaquin Salmon Outmigrant Survival Improvement Project" which is
designed to improve survival rates of migrating salmon by transporting juvenile salmon from the Tuolome
River to San Francisco Bay in submerged, flow-through cylinders.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
On May 15, 1996,the Contra Costa County Fish and Wildlife Committee voted to recommend to the Board
of Supervisors that it write a letter in support of the California Fishery Restoration Foundation's proposed
project. The purpose of this project is to increase salmon populations by increasing the number of juvenile
salmon from the San Joaquin River watershed which safely reach the ocean and later return to the
tributaries of the San Joaquin River to spawn. The California Fishery Restoration Foundation proposes to
do this by transporting Merced Hatchery juvenile salmon from the upper Tuolome River to the San
Francisco Bay using mobile, flow-through tubes towed by a boat and designed to contain the fish and
protect them from predators and siphons while allowing for proper imprinting of migration routes. This
method is expected to be more effective than either direct release into the upper Tuolome River or trucking
to downstream areas because the tubes simultaneously protect the fish while allowing for imprinting. The
California Fishery Restoration Foundation has indicated that a letter of support from the County would help
their effort to gain funding and regulatory approval for their project.

MONITORING PROGRAM
The experimental group of 50,000 smolts will be coded-wire tagged/adipose fin
clipped ("CWT/Ad") by New West and delivered to Mossdale Landing in May by DFG.
We propose to use coded-wire 1/2 tags to identify these fish. All remaining or
another subsample of fish from the same stock is expected to be tagged by CDFG
prior to their release.
The precise migration rate for the experimental group will be defined by CDFG
but generally it is not expected to exceed the documented rate of about 21 days
for hatchery fish in recent CDFG/FWS studies.
Recoveries of these tagged fish in ocean fishery and spawning escapement surveys
will occur over the three to five year period following the releases. The
results from. these efforts will enable CDFG to evaluate how well the
experimental- group transported in a FATC survived in relation to the controls
and possibly other tagged groups that migrated in the natural channels without
the assistance of FATC systems. We expect this study to also yield data on
straying rates, growth, year of return and other important management
parameters.
In addition, the proposed monitoring progam will include DFG general health
inspections at 2-3 sites during the transportation process. Data gathering will
include but not limited to a record of all mortalities which occur and any
obvious causes, measurements of water temperature and dissolved oxygen on four
hour intervals during the experimental transportation, documentation of the
time, location and approximate tidal phases from the tide book and when the
temperature and dissolved oxygen measurements were taken. A small subsample of
8-10 fish will be taken at the outset of transport at Mossdale and at two other
times downstream during the shielded migration. These subsamples will be
analyzed by a laboratory to determine general changes in gill enzyme and thyroid
hormone activity levels. Also, feed furnished by DFG will be used and DFG
prescribed feeding protocol will be followed during transport.
REPORTING
A brief annual report, in a format acceptable to DFG will be prepared. It will
summarize the tag codes and the number of fish included in the study, all
pertinent dates, the transport times along the migration route, the water
quality and tidal information, feeding and mortality rates, any unique
behavioral reponses observed, mechanical changes or problems encountered and the
manner in which they were resolved. In addition, the report will contain CDFG
general health inspection summaries and the results of the enzyme and hormone
testing. When available, tag recovery information from the ocean fisheries or
escapement surveys by DFG or others will also be included in these reports.
Copies of these reports will be submitted each year in draft by July and in a
final form by August to DFG, Region 4 Anadromous Fisheries Supervisor.

-3-
,
Yes Maybe No
XV. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
a. Potential to degrade: Does the project have the potential to degrade
the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a
fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below
self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community,
reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or
animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California
history or prehistory?
b. Short-term: Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term,
to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term
impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief,
definitive period of time. Long-term impacts will endure well into
the future.)
c. Cumulative: Does the project have impacts which are individually
limited, but cumulatively considerable? (A project may impact on
two or more separate resources where the impact on each resource is
relatively small, but where the effect on the total of those impacts
on the environment is significant.)
d. Substantial adverse: Does the project have environmental effects
which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either
directly or indirectly?
XVI. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. (If more room is needed attach explanations to
checklist.)
VII. DISCUSSION OF LAND USE IMPACTS. (If more room is needed attach explanations to checklist.)
(Note: This is only a suggested form pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15063(d). Public agencies are free to
devise their own format for initial studies. However, the DETERMINATION is an essential component of this form.)
