                         ID #   646

                   Authors   Michele K. Robinson, Dave Ware, Stina Stringer

       Publication Date

            Produced By   Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife

                Summary   Winter is a difficult season for upland wildlife due to extreme cold and low food supplies. As part of the

                                 natural cycle, many birds do not survive the harsh winter months. Human activities have added to these

                                 hardships by impacting winter wildlife habitat in a number of ways.

     Publication Name   Upland Birds, Management Strategies

                         ID #   617

                   Authors   Michele K. Robinson, Dave Ware

       Publication Date   March 1994

            Produced By   Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife

                Summary   Besides providing recreation, upland game birds also play a significant role in the natural scheme of life. It

                                 is extremely important that we carefully consider the human impacts to Washington's wildlife and their

                                 natural environment.

     Publication Name   Occurrence of Gas Bubble Disease Symptoms on Fish in Mid-Columbia River Reservoirs

                         ID #   39

                   Authors   Dell, Michael B., Michael W. Erho, Bernie D. Leman

       Publication Date   September 1975

            Produced By   Chelan County PUD, Fish and Wildlife Operations - Wenatchee, WA

                Summary   Over 30,000 Anadromous and resident fish were examined for Gas Bubble Disease (GBD) symptoms in the

                                  mid-Columbia River region during the 1974 spill season. Types of gear employed to capture fish included

                                 Lake Merwin trap, beach seine, Pennsylvania trap and angling.  For the study period, only 3,221 fish out of

                                 32,289 examined had GBD symptoms.  Game fish numbered 3,016 and 4.2% GBD symptoms.

     Publication Name   Total Dissolved Gas Monitoring at Rocky Reach and Rock Island Hydroelectric Projects in 1997

                         ID #   23

                   Authors   Koehler, Valerie A., and Robert D. McDonald

       Publication Date   December 31, 1997

            Produced By   Chelan County PUD, Fish and Wildlife Operations - Wenatchee, WA

                Summary   The purpose of the 1997 Total Dissolved Gas (TDG) monitoring effort was to determine if the PUD was in

                                 compliance with the temporary waiver to water quality standards (granted by the DOE) and to examine the

                                 effect of dam operations (volume spilled, percent river flow spilled, location of spill) on fluctuations of TDG

                                 in the river below the projects.  A further objective of this study was to examine the rate of dissipation and the

                                  distribution of TDG between the forebays of Rocky Reach and Rock Island dams in the spring and summer

                                 of 1997. This objective was met by initiating weekly TDG transects below the projects.

Genetic Identification of Salmon and Steelhead Stocks

     Publication Name   Genetic Identification of Salmon and Steelhead Stocks in the Mid-Columbia River

                         ID #   19

                   Authors   Hershberger, William K., Dole, Deborah, and Ximing Guo

       Publication Date   July 22, 1988

            Produced By   Chelan County PUD, Fish and Wildlife Operations - Wenatchee, WA

                Summary   This study was designed to investigate, by use of electrophoretic analysis, the genetic characteristics of a

                                 large number of stocks of several Anadromous salmonid species that spawn and rear in the Mid-Columbia

                                 tributaries.  It was anticipated that these data would provide (1) a definition of genetically discrete stocks

                                 that may require "special" consideration in a hatchery compensation program, and (2) an assessment of

                                 the geographic and temporal genetic variation that naturally exists in these stocks.  This information could

                                 then be used to assist tin the development of a genetically sound compensation program for the

                                 Mid-Columbia.

     Publication Name   Regional Sedimentation of Late Quaternary Loess on the Columbia Plateau:  Sediment Source Areas and

                                 Loess Distribution Patterns in Regional Geology of Washington State

                         ID #   429

                   Authors   Busacca, Alan J. and Eric V. McDonald

       Publication Date   1994

            Produced By   Wenatchee Public Library

                Summary   Pages 181-189 copied from Regional Geology of Washington State.  Recent development of stratigraphic

                                 framework of buried soils, loess strata, and correlated volcanic tephra layers in late Quaternary loess in the

                                 Palouse and Channeled Scabland areas makes it possible for the first time to assess regional patterns of

                                 loess distribution and source areas and materials for loess on the Columbia Plateau.  Stratigraphic

                                 descriptions were made of, and samples were collected from, two informally named loess units, L1 and L2,

                                 at 95 sites.  We used geostatistical methods to produce contour maps of thickness and geometric mean

                                 particles size of L1 and L2.

     Publication Name   The Origin and Development of Moses Coulee and Other Scabland Features on the Waterville Plateau,

                                 Washington

                         ID #   566

                   Authors   Larry Gene Hanson

       Publication Date   1970

            Produced By   USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Service

                Summary   Mr. Hanson has employed a multiple hypotheses approach and his investigation has involved such divers

                                 methods as seismic study of critical area, techniques of correlation of basalt flows, and hydraulic

                                 calculations.  The result is a reasoned evolutionary history of the Waterville Plateau that explains the

                                 features seen today.
