Report on BPC Special Project Peer Review and Future Study Recommendations of Salmonid Fish Tagging Study (Hearn, et al., 2012) presented by Josh Trotter

Contract Summary Parties involved: ARCADIS, ECORP, and BPC Conduct a review of the Hearn, et al. Fish Tagging Study with two perspectives: 1.A technical “peer” review 2.A review of the peer review result, and future directions the Study should take. The 2 nd perspective will be with respect to the benefits to be gained by the dredging community (e.g. widening Environmental Windows, reducing uncertainty about occurrence of fish in project sites, etc.)

Key Terminology 1.The Study = the interim draft report entitled “Salmonid Smolt outmigration and distribution in the San Francisco Estuary 2010” by Hearn, et al. (published in 2012) 2.The 1 st letter = ARCADIS’ 1 st letter to the BPC, which contains the peer review of the Study 3.The 2 nd letter = ARCADIS’ 2 nd letter to the BPC, which contains the evaluation of report and comments & suggestions for future directions the research on sensitive fish species should take

Peer Review, ARCADIS’ 1 st Letter According to the reviewers’ comments: “The Study is very well written: remarkably few editorial/format errors were detected” “data analyses appear to be thorough and extensive” “…a number of broad conclusions appear to be weakly supported or entirely unsupported by information presented in the Study”

Key Fish Study Questions relevant to the LTMS 1.What are the temporal and spatial distributions of emigrating salmonid smolts and immigrating adults for each of the sensitive species? 2.What is the transit time for these life stages through the Bay? 3.What are the temporal and spatial distributions of green sturgeon and longfin smelt in the Bay? 4.What are the probabilities of potential effects of dredging and dredged material disposal on the species? 5.What environmental factors influence immigration and emigration, and how might they influence the environmental work windows?

Peer Review Discussion and Recommendations for Future Study, ARCADIS’ 2 nd Letter Study’s Research Questions: 1.What are the general migratory patterns of outmigrating late-fall run Chinook salmon smolts and steelhead trout smolts and to what extent does their spatial distribution coincide with the location of dredged material placement sites and dredging sites? 2.What is the exposure time of outmigrating salmonid smolts to the various dredged and dredged material placement sites throughout the San Francisco Bay Estuary? 3.What are the spatio-temporal patterns of occurrence of green sturgeon in the San Francisco Bay Estuary, especially in relation to the location of dredging operations?

ARCADIS’ 2 nd Letter, Future Study Recommendations Identified issue(s) with specific elements of the Study, and made recommendations for the Study and future fish tagging Studies. Study elements covered :  Release Design  Control Design and Use  Migration Pathways  Environmental Variables  Potential Exposure to Toxins  Smolt Emigration Mortality

ARCADIS’ 2 nd Letter, Next Steps 1.Finalize the Interim Draft Report (Hearn, et al., 2012) 2.Review and Evaluate Relevant Information (i.e. extensive literature review) 3.Evaluate the Potential Effects of Dredging and Dredged Material Disposal (incorporating Study recommendations)

Conclusion Value of the Study (Hearn, et al. 2012) ARCADIS’ Study Recommendations Next Steps Have ARCADIS and ECORP satisfied their contractual obligations?
