Alaska Department of Fish and Game salmon escapement surveys of streams and sloughs above Talkeetna v 46 59 Mitigation-of Impacts on Fish Resources Under pre-project conditions,fish in the Susitna River are sub- ject to highly variable stream conditions.These conditions are controlled by the extremes in weather and climate of the regionc During the summer months,high flows are caused by melting gla- cial ice,and even higher peak flows occur when a storm coin- cides with the already high summer flows.In the winter, neither of these events take place,and the flow is reduced to less than 5%of it's summer volume.These circumstanc-'5,in conjunction with the streambed and sedime,t conditicnf that accompany them,make the Susitna mainstem a iess th~n ideal fishery habitat.In fact,most salmon spawnin,activity is con- fined to tributaries and slough environments.' The primary impact areas of the hydroelectric development are the reservoir areas and the Susitna River from Talkeetna to Devil Canyon.The dams themselves will not curtail the migra- tion of any anadromous species because Devil Canyon is,even n ow,a n at ur alb ar r i er t 0 s uch mig rat ion.The pro je ct wi 11, hDwever,alt~r in many ways the conditions to which fish are subject. The degre~to which the project will change conditions and the impacts accompanying those conditions will also vary by oroject stage and location.The stages considered are cn~stru'ln,in- cluding filling,and operation and maintainence.The.project locations are the Devi 1 Canyon and Watana impol!nJ""e.n{s,the Susitna r~ach downstream to Talkeetna,~he reach between 'falkeetna and Cook Inlet,and the access rOL.:fl4.'IIcI tranmission line routes. For both the project stage and locations,various mitigation methods are available.These approaches have been examined with clDse att~ntion to the following order:avoiding the impact, minimizing the impact,rectifying the impact,reducing or eliminating the impa~t over time,and compensating for the impact.Re~ucing or eliminating impacts includes basic moni- toring both of the resources as impacts develop and of the plan- ned mitigation measures. Mitigation dealing with the project's impacts can be catagorized in several ways.Operational procedure is one such category. Operational procedures are an important aspect of this mitiga-" tion plan.Regulation of downstream flow would be the primary operational procedure for mitigative purposes. Construction or design procedures can also avoid adverse impacts or,at least minimize them.These include the use of s pe cia 1 val ves for s pill i ng e xc e ssw ate r to avo i d or min imi ze dissolved gas supersaturation and the use of multilevel intakes to regulate water temperature. Modification of the existing stream by excavating orby adding gravel to bui ld spawning areas is another type of mitigation opportunity.The placement of the dams on the Susitna River will act to control the extreme conditions ·that occur naturally and,as will be discussed,may make the conditions in the stream more favorable for fish. Such modification of the stream,side channels,or sloughs could protect,replace or even increase the amount of usable habitat. The construction of artificial spawning channels or hatcheries can also be used as a mitigative measure to compensate for loss of fish production,but maintaining existing habitat or creating new habitats by way of the modifications just mentioned are more promising options. A final category of possible mitigation is the management of existing fishery resources to increase their productivity. -Impoundments The impacts associat:J with construction will be of short dur- ation and will be masked by inundation of the area.Intensive management of the recreational fishery in the tributaries above the impoundment water level during the construction stage,how- ever,could protect the grayling populations not directly affected by the construction activities.In addition,insuring that efflu~rrt discharges from the sewage treatment facilities are com p a"t j q)~~W i t h the st rea mI s wate r qua 1i t y,0 r t hat the y are not discharged intn any small tributaries above the impoundments upper water level would protect the grayling fishery that will remain after inundation. For the resident fish,the inundation of the mainstem will pro- bably result in the formation of new habitats that are as hos- pitable to the fish as the former habitats.Furthermore,since no anadromous fish occur above Devil Canyon,no impacts on anadromous fish are associated with athe actual impoundments. Avoiding nr minimizing impacts accociated with operation and maintainence of the Watana impoundment is restricted by engin- eering and economic aspects of the project.For example,fluct- uations of the water level and the storage of water is necessary to provide needed power during the cold months,which are also the periods of low flow.On the other hand the annual fluctua- tions of approximately 27m (90 ft.)in Watana will inhibit the formation of a littoral zone,which is a general requirement for cover and food for rearing fish in lakes;for some species it is also a necessity for spawning habitat. Adverse impacts may be rectified by managing the stream areas not inundated or by developing a resident sport fishery in the reservoirs,the latter of which could provide a replacement for lost stream fishery habitat.Development of a resident reser- voir fishery may be limited by post-project water quality of the reservoirs. .~. The ability to establish a fishery in the reservoir will depend on the water quality characteristics that develop.Although fisheries in other glacially fed lakes in this region hcve not been very productive,indications are that a least a limited fishery could be established in the reservoirs.A clear,pro- ductive upper layer in the reservoir will aid in the development of such a fishery.Initial investigations on the settling rate of incoming sediment,combined with the length and depth of the Watana reservoir,indicate that the necessary clear layer could develop.The fraction of incoming sediment measuring two microns or less,however,may cause the reservoir to remain cloudy in summer and,thus,limit the prospects for establishing a good reservoir fishery. Gas balance of nitrogen and oxygen in the Devil Canyon reservoir is another impact that can be controlled.Installing cone-type valves for spilling instead of using conventional spillways will solve the problems of entraining nitrogen ang oxygen and thus eliminate a problem for fish in the Devil Canyon res~rvoir and downstream.The valve discharges will not plunge more that .6m, on the average,below the surface.This would keep the levels at or less than those that occur naturally.These measures are part of the proposed d~sign. As previously mentioned,the placement of the Devil Canyon facility at he upper limit of the salmon ~)~'A~io~is a positive fa~tor in the design of the project.~o ~he present range or habit at of the five s pee i es of P 4.c.iii c.S <1./"'''n i se x- eluded by th~project.Although it is not within the scope of this study to evaluate the enhancement potential of the upper Susitna River basin above Devil Canyon,whetner or not the project precludes this possible enhancement can be evaluated on a preliminary basis.For example,to permit salmon access farther into the upper basin,the natural barrier of Devil Canyon (without the project)or the barrier represented by the dams (with the project)would need to be circumvented in some manner. More signifi<ant,however,is the consideration that any enhancement plans for the basin above Devil Canyon requiring the U5e of the Susitna for outmigration would be made more difficult by the downstream passage problems presented by the dams.A suggestion has been offered in the past that for enhancing the salmon resources of the upper basin by connecting Lake Louise to the Copper River drainage.Such enhancement,while never enter- tained by the present study,would not b~precluded by the Susitna project.Of course,any proposed action to pe~mit salmon access to the reaches of the upper basin where they do not occur naturally would have other environmental implications that would need to be evaluated . -Downstream Mitigation activities associated with downstream impacts during L the construction stage would be minimal.Avoiding or minimizing impacts could be accompolished princpally by close inspection of the work to see that all prudent measures are undertaken to reduce turbidity or to prevent any toxic material from entering the river. o -River Mouth to Talkeetna Below the confluence of the Chulitna,Susitna,and Talkeetna rivers,the contribution of waters from the Chulitna and Talkeetna rivers is expected to greatly reduce or to eliminate the potential for impacts resulting from flow alteration in the upper river.In addition,the load contribution from the Chulitna River will probably mask any reduction in suspended material caused by settling behind the dams.As one progresses dowmstream,the differences between pre-and post-project conditions will be less and less apparent until,eventually,any change will be well within the range of natural fluctuations. No adverse water qu~lity changes are expected in the lower Susitna River.Poss~bly the changes in flow below Talkeetna could lower the stage in certain areas and thus limit access to some of the sloughs and side channels for spawning.Should this happen then a mitigation measure that would avoi~impacts or minimize them would consist of some alteration of at the mouths of the sloughs,side channels,and tributaries.. Reducing or eliminating impacts thro~gh stream stocking and lake-~ fertilization may also be used.This technique would be applicable to impacts in any reach of the Susitna.Several lakes in ths Susitna drainage that have management potential have already been identified by the Fisheries Rehabilitation Enhancement Division (fRED)of ADF&G. o -Chulitna Confluence to Devil Canyon The most profound impacts of the Susitna Hydroelectric Project on anadromous fish will occur in the Chulitna to Devil Canyon reach of the Susitna River.Likewise a major part of the mitigation effort is concentrated in this area. With the beginning of the filling period of Watana Dam,there will be alterations in the natural stream runoff patterns of the Susitna River below the dam.The data from the 1981 field investigations show that these modified stream flows will also alter the flow patterns in the sloughs frequented by the salmon for spawning,incubation of eggs,and the initial rearing of fry.The reduction in river flow will also modify the existing nat~ral water temperatures regimes.These will be influenced by by the water that enters and is stored and discharged from the Watana reservoir and,sussequently,when the two-dam project is completed,through the Devil Canyon retension basin to the r"iver. Water quality changes will occur,principally by the reduction in the amount of silt and bed load now occurring in an~passing through this section of the river.The-project will reduce both silt and bed load but this is not considered as important as flow and temperature in the effective production of fish in the side sloughs.Impacts associated with downstream temperature regimes could be avoided during some periods of the year and minimized during other periods by the use of multilevel intakes which would provide a mixed flow with water temperatures equal or near to natural conditions.The appropriate multilevel intakes,if included in the design,will allow for temperature regulation of discharged waters.Downstream water temperatures can then be regulated to provide the most desirable temperature for the fish resources.Stream-reaches that have correct temperature conditions for egg development and emergence at the proper time could be considered for management of salmon fisheries and modifi~ations to provide additional habitat. A purpose of mitigation is to maintain the sloughs as fish producers by providing:1)adequate water flowing through the sloughs from either their upper or low~r ends to maintain the necessary water depth for transportation of adult salmon to the spawning grounds;2)water of the necessary temperature and oxygen l~vels for those fish that have entered the sloughs,as their spawning success depends upon the upwelling wat~r areas in the sloughs;and 3)suitable environment for the eggs to incubate,the alevins to form,and the fry to emerge from the gravel at the proper time of the year. At pr~sent,the upwelling water is of insufficient volume to insure th~necessary transport depth required for the adults to enter the sloughs,to pass the spawning grounds and to remain thereon during their stream life. At present,the flows entering the upper ends of the sloughs are controlle~by the river's stage during the migrating and spawning season and by the provision of the necessary support flows.Egg survival is dependent upon the natural temperature regime of the upwelling water,as river inflow generally ceases before the end of the incubation period.Until approximately the first week in October,temperatures above 6 C.are required. Under pres~nt conditi~ns the temperature of the stream water varies between about 11 and 14 C.at the time of maximum spawning~and then gradually cools to not less than 6 C.by the first week in October. Although the source of upwelling water has not yet been determined,it is assumed that it contains sufficient oxygen for fi~al embryo ~evelopment;There are two areas providing the necessary aquifers:1)the major land source above th~sloughs, and 2)the island between the slough and the main channel.In the latter case,the difference in elevation between the water level in the main Susitna channel and the thalweg level of the sloughs gives the hydraulic head to provide the necessary drop for water to percolate through the island gravel into the slough area.Until the ground water surveys proposed for these areas are completed,the contribution from this source cannot be quantified.This study is underway. Various project operating flows for power have been proposed, ranging from 10,400 cfs to 13,400 cfs during the winter generation period.These flows are below the natural expected summer flows,but many times greater than the natural winter flows. The wi nter temperature reqime may be such that a-1"I east a part of the river channel will be free from ice above Talkeetna because of the discharg~of warm~r water from ~he Watana or Devil Canyon reservoirs.nuring the spring breakup of 1982 it was reported that some of the sloughs were wetted owing to the backup from ice jams,creating extraordinary heads and diverting III ate r i n tot he side s lou gh s.This flo w,p 1 us the s pr i ng warm i ng trend,may be the conditions that trigger the young fish to move outward from the sl<il'ghs.Under project conditions,if the ice jams are eliminated,short bursts of water may be required to trigger the outward migration of young fish from the slough~. This is physically possible and would become part of the mit i gat ion pro ce d u res pro po s eod i f the a b s e r vat ion saf 198 2 are typi.cal. r her i ver war k rep art ed by R&M Can s IJ 1 tar)t oS t J,f!va..yo i c us Y'iver cross sections above Talkeetna.lne i"r.,.m<lTI~n old"a..ined from the des,cribed reach areas has bee.n u.Se.tI to de.'ie./e.p an alpproai:h for mitigation to .prevent loss of the sloughs by the elimination of higher flows. The cross sections in the sloughs establts.hed and recorded by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (AOf&G)and equated to the survey data of R&M have made it possible to examine the existing gradients within sloughs 9,19,and 21 (tables 1,2,and 3).The water surface ··elevations of the shorelines of the islands on th~main channel side was obtained for sloughs 9 and 21 by utilizing R&M cross-sectional data and a streight-line channel loss of head (figures 1 and 2). l L The purpose of this approach was to determine whether there can be an intergravel flow to the sloughs with the river discharges at the proposed project flows in order to retain the existing spawning areas and the existing upwelling flows,or if it is possible to improve the sloughs by increasing the existing spawniing areas and the quantity of upwelling flows.The steps taken to demonstrate this type of mitigation are shown by tables 1,2,afld 3,figurss 1 and 2 and Appendic€s A,B,and C. Tables 4 and 5 list the areas used by the spawning fish, including the slough areas,from Talkeetna to Devil Canyon.The data source is the ADF&G.The slough areas were further examined from overflight pi~tures provided by R&M.~ The ADF&G data shown on tables and in the appendices give- pertinent information on needed wetted areas~upwelling flows and other physical data on the sloughs which have been needed to define the pervailing physical conditions.The R&M overflight pictures are Qat provided as a part of this section~but are available.On these overflight pictures are drawn the channel transects which ~rovide the cross-sectional data utilized. These data giv£a means of approximating the river profiles and~ with an assumed streight-line relationship~make it possible to estimate the elevation of the shoreline on the river side if the islands that form the sloughs under study. Interpretation of the various levels affecting sloughs 9 and 21 are shown in ~igures 1 and 2.They show an invert elevation profile of the slough and an equivalent elevation of the main river surface;if such cross sections we~e to be extended across the island area to the river channel~they would give an a.pproximate hydraulic hea<l across th~island.The river stage and elevation obtained from R&M data sources have been combined with the-project level of the slough entrance and these are shown on Figures 1 and 2. Using this combinatinn of data~a flew channel level at the upper ends may be projected to provide the necessary flows in the slo~ghs at riv~r flows of 13~40~cfs measured at Gold Creek~ These will furnish the necessary.water depth for transporting and spawning.On Table 6 is shown the minimum excavation required to provide the new entrance levels needed • .The purpose of this approach was to determine the l~vel of a flat broad-crested weir as one means of control.The required flow was based on a stated depth for transportation of adult salmon into the slough and to provide the depth requi~ed during the spawning period.This is shown on figures 1 and 2.An estimation can be made of the required quantity of excavation for a first approximation of cost and type of construction equipment needed.Operational pr~cedures can be developed to otssure that the physical alterations of tile channel entrances can be maintained in accordance with the new flow regimes. The stability of the channels is of the utmost importance as they can not be permitted to be scoured by the fluctuating flows brought about by storm events during the summer and fall.The data for this study show that the stability of beds is affected Cl t flo ws a"b a ve 750 cf sin s lou gh 9 and 54 cf sin s lou 9h 21 (Table 7).From the studies~it is showrn that the channels would become unstable and that a control works would be r e qui r ed.A n um-b er 0 f me thad s co u 1 d be em p loy ed her e to ins ure the effectiveness of controls at the upper ends cif the sloughs. To insure that there would be sufficient water to provide the necessary oxygen to hatch the eggs and develop the alevins and fry~one of two approaches is indicated~if the ground water studies show that the gravels are permeable and that the principal source of upwelling water is the river.It would be possible to recharge such an aquifer through a surface pooling on an island if the hydraulic head was not sufficient to allow for the necessary percolation rate to recharge the aquifer from the river flows.If the principal source of water is from the major land side,this source would remain unaltered and would be subjected only to natural or climatic changes and generally would be unaltered by stream flow modifications. The upwelling provi~es the necessary water flow,oxygen,and temperature for incubation.It appears that the groundwater tempeature in the slough will vary.from approsimately 2.7 to 3.1 C.and will be modified to some extent by the-stream temperature,making it suitable for the development of eggs. Under project operating conditions,with the major source of silt remo~ed and with an opportunity to draw water of various temperatures,it would be possible to use river water of the same temperature as the ground water in the winter.A decision on this is not requ~red until the ground water surveys are completed,the source of the upwelling is identified,and the need for further augmentatidn is established. The number of fish to be mitigated for will depend upon the return of any year-class,and is variable.To further understand the relationship of the sloughs to the number of spawning fish,Tables 8,9,and 10 have been prepared They show the escapement expected to occur in the slou h in proportion to that of existing areas.The wetted area can be computed in square feet,which may be translated into useful area for spawning fish,as shown in Tables 11 and 12.Under natural conditions the river inflow ceases through the sloughs when the main river reaches the elevation at which the sloughs are dried,which is variable.Under the proposed mitigation l con~itions the sloughs could remain wetted most of the time,and ... hence,their useful areas would be enhanced.The usefullness would be increased under mitigation .conditions as compared with natural conditions when the same criteria were applied.In some years the sloughs would be underused,and in some years they would be overused.Under mitigation conditions,if the runs were to ~e built t~the maximim space available,the run size would ultimately increase. The immediate concern is to insure that the existing populations would have available to them at least a equivalent amount of space as now exists.The percentage of used area,however, might drop if the useful areas were to be increased without an in<:rease in run size.This comparison of conditions is shown on Tables 8,9,(l-nd 1.(). This is not intended to be augmentation but only mitigation,as the mechanics of a slough's relationship to the rearing of young has not yet been fully established.If the space remains equal or greater than now existing that relationship would not be rt~duced . It has been noted that the water flow is important in the development of eggs and young and may be a limiting factor in their development,not only because of space but because of the oxygen needs of the fish.Unless sufficient oxygen can be supplied to support the embryos,added space or added overflows to permit transportation would not in themselves be sufficient. Table 13 shows the oxygen demands of a1evins and eggs from which a minimum flow level can be extab1ishes when the saturation level of the water is known.

Backup data required to develop the tables and figur.es presented in this report are included in the appendices. In summary,mitigation is required for the fish using the sloughs existing in the Susitna River from ralkeetna to Oevi1 Canyon.The number utilizing these sloughs in 1981 have been estimated and are shown in the tables.~~is expected that these numbers will be exceeded in the futw..t"e,particularly the by dominant pink salmon runs that occur in ~he even years.

If the present conditions in the sloughs are to be maintained, the source of the aquifers supplying the upwelling water must be identifie~to be sure that they will be recharged on an annual basis and that they will supply the required flows for egg and a1evin development. The useful wetted areas of these sloughs may be enhanced,but this should not be assumed to be augmentation,as the relationship of their r2aring habits and needs have not been established and related to the physical conditions within the existing sloughs.The current relationships would be adversely affected. J\n estimate is given of the minimum excavation volumes needed to reduce the levels to the entrance channel beds to a point where they can accept water at lower river flows than have existed under natural river conditions at spawning times. It is concluded that it is feasible to examine in detail the mitigation which will sufficiently alter the entrances of the sloughs to provide water at lower levels of discharge in the main river than ~ow occur naturally at spawning times but which \1/i 11 0 c cur under 'p r 0 j e etc 0 ndi t i-0 n s.Car ef u1 des i gn wi 11 be r'e qui red to i -n sur e_the s tab i 1i t Y 0 f the c han ne1s • It is suggested that this type of mitigation is preferable over the development of artificial spawning beds or hatchery systems al t t his time. -Ac~ess Road -Borrow Areas -Transmission lines r - I l t . A majority of the pot~ntia1 impacts associated with the construction,operation,and maintainence of access roads, borrow areas,and transmission lines can either be reduced si-gnificant1y or_eliminated completely.A major portion of the imp act s ass 0 cia t .e-d wit h pub 1i c a cc es san d st ream sed i men tat ion. will be avoided if the mitigation measures already described bi -or Acres are implemented (Acres Amewrican Access Route Selection l Report 1981).for example it is assumed that that the access road.will be controlled as a private road during construction and that management policies will be extab1ished for future use of t-heroad.Furthermore,many potential ·-i,~acts ·can be avoided if restrictions on off-road vehicle use are imposed and if some restrictions are placed on public access beyond Devil Canyon. Additionally,it is assumed that,whenever feasable,borrow sit·es will have a buffer strip between them and any aquatic habitat. o -Road Desi~n and Construction Road design and construction can incorporate measures to minimize mass-movwement erosion of sediment into streams represented by soil creep,slump earth flows,debris avalances, and debris torrents.Control of these phenomena can be accom~olished by avoiding placing roads on the midslope of steep,unstable slopes;by reducing excavation to a minimum;in cDnjunction with balanced ~art~work design,by designing cut and fill slopes at proper angles;by providing vegetative or artificial stabilization of cut and fill slopes;and by constructing retaining walls to contain unstable slopes.Except at stream crossings,roads can be situated to provide a buffer strip of undisturbed land between the road and any streams.In addition,if bridges and arch culverts are used for stream crossings where anadromous fish or migratory resident fishes are L r I',, ![ !l, present,the potential for impact on these species will be minimized.It is assumed that culverts will be of appropriate s i ze and des i g nan d will be ins tal 1ed pro per 1y top e rm i t f ish passage.Any low water crossings may cause impacts if downstream fisheries are present.Where such low water crossings are used,impacts can be reduced if the crossings are properly maintained and used only by light vehicles. Some potential impacts can be avoided if the construction work within or adjacent to streams is not attempted -ing periods of Ihigh streamflow,intensive rainfall,when mi itory fish are spawning,or during crucial rearing times •.nis mitigation approach applies to transmission line construction as well as to ,i c ce ss road con st r uct ion. Oil residue from construction equipment and poss;'ble bacterial and nutrient contamination of aquatic habitats resulting from the presence of con5tructi~n personnel can be minimized by following the standard precautions of the c~nstruction industry. l:tis ass umedt h at 0 i 1 fro m mac hi ne r y will bed i s p 0 sed 0 f properly and not buried at the site.Portable chemical toilets will elilminate possible bacterial ~ontamination.
