Migration Through Lake Billy Chinook Proves Deadly for Steelhead Smolts

Data doesn’t lie: PGE’s own graphs and charts–what you’re looking at below here– read like a tacit admission that changes need to be made to improve water conditions on the lower Deschutes. This week: last summer’s fisheries workshop presentations on the status of Deschutes River fish reintroduction.

PGE’s Own Numbers Affirm Water Quality Trouble in the Lower Deschutes

While PGE’s data corroborates the DRA’s, our respective courses of action differ sharply. The DRA has proposed a three-year experiment: for all months of the year, except March through June when juvenile fish emigrating from upstream of project release sites are collected, the maximum amount of cold water should be released from the depths of Lake Billy Chinook.

“Dean Dark will tell you it’s not about the weeds. It’s ultimately about the water, the wildlife, and the native grasses, shrubs and trees …These invasive plants, says Dark, make not only human visitors, but full-time non-human residents of the canyon less happy. ‘Wildlife suffer,’ says Dark. ‘Streams get choked in. Cheat grass and blackberry prevent cool water from reaching the river.’”

Donor Advantage: Why giving to the DRA Now Might be Better than Later
Donor Advantage: Why giving to the DRA Now Might be Better than Later

As the days shorten and the river settles into its own style of hibernation until next spring, think about the current status of the lower Deschutes. Far from perfect because of nearly 15 years of mismanagement, it is still a beautiful, inspiring place. Here we recreate. And here we can re-create the river that the lower Deschutes River should be.

Bending the Rules: A Timeline of PGE’s Failure to Comply With Water Quality Standards
Bending the Rules: A Timeline of PGE’s Failure to Comply With Water Quality Standards

The language in PGE’s license is rife with references to “Adaptive Management.” In theory, this means that management strategies for the lower Deschutes River should be subject to constant monitoring, evaluation–and adjustment when standards for water quality and fish reintroduction aren’t being met. In practice, PGE, with the acquiescence of the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, and notably, without public input, simply lowered the standards while its failing management strategies remain in place.

Batting 1.000 on pH Violations
Batting 1.000 on pH Violations

A skeptic of the DRA’s science program once derisively commented, “I don’t fish for pH.” This is a little like saying you don’t shower for soap. Of course you fish to catch fish, just as you shower to get clean. And just as you won’t easily get clean unless that bar of Irish Spring is with you in the shower, your fishing experience will be less satisfying in water that isn’t complying with pH standards.

Peer-Reviewed Science Article Tracks Tower’s Negative Influence on Lower Deschutes

These findings, while important to see in a journal paper, simply conclude what long-time anglers, river users and all those who love the lower Deschutes River have known since the tower started operating: The quality of the lower Deschutes River isn’t what it use to be!  Remember this decline was created by the release of more surface water. And it can be improved by the release of more bottom water.
