RFP - Water Year 2023-2025 Ecological and Operational Streamflow Monitoring

The District seeks to continue flow and temperature monitoring during the "dry season" at Foreman Creek and Boulder Creek. This data will be used in an ongoing conjunctive use study, to support regulatory processes, District operations, and permitting. Dry season monitoring has been taking place at Foreman Creek and Boulder Creek (with a gap in 2021) since 2013 to understand the effects of the diversion on downstream habitat and the watershed as a whole. Monthly monitoring site visits will take place June through November to establish baseline data and make observations during the dry season. Currently, a staff plate and two Solinst Leveloggers are being used to collect continuous depth and temperature data. Consultant staff are encouraged to make regular site Page 3 of 6 visits to note changes in field conditions, collect data, and make repairs as needed. As diversions are brought back online additional dry season monitoring sites will be added. Task 2: Operational gaging at Fall Creek There is currently a real-time station installed at the Fall Creek Fish Ladder. This station reports data back to an online portal managed by the current consultant, which is used to actively manage the diversion. The District would like to continue real-time (reports every 15 minutes) monitoring with site visits made monthly throughout the year to ensure accuracy of gage. The gage will potentially need to be relocated downstream after upgrades to the fish ladder are completed in October 2023. No written report or flow record will be needed but data should be assessable in real-time via an online portal or through the District's Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA).
