Key guidelines used In setting the value for e~ch of the criteria were that <br />the maximum possible point total for any 'site was set at 100, land the criteria categories <br />(e.g. water source, water quality, etc.) were weighted such t~at there was a limit to the <br />maximum number of points which could. be received for ~ny criteria category and <br />subcategory. In addition, a site could receive a fatal flaw ra~ing if a site condition was <br />determined to be not acceptable. The six rating categories an~ the point values assigned <br />to each category are shown In Table -.-? i <br />- TABLE 2 ' <br /> <br />I Spa" <br /> <br />RATING FACTOR CATEGORIES i <br /> <br />Factor Catego'Y <br /> <br />. , <br />MaxImum p:oint Value <br /> <br />, <br />~" <br /> <br />~ Wa~rSouroe ~5 <br />Water Quality ?O <br />Site Physical ?O <br />Biological Considerations 15 <br />Locatlonal Factors '0 <br />Probable Cost 10 <br /> <br />>-- (~~ <br /> <br />The type of water source was the highest rated criteria categc>ry due to its impact on the <br />development of a hatChery! and the propagation of fish. ~roundwater is favored for <br />rearing hatchery fish because it is free of fish diseases whl$h are prevalent In surface <br />water supplies. This Is extremely important to hatche'Y operations, especially for .a <br />hatchery dedicated to holding and the propagation of end,ngered species. For this <br />reaso~ groundwater supplies were given higher point values than surface water <br />supplies. However, surface water supplies tend to pro~ide the most genetically <br />compatible water supply as it more closely resembles natur~1 conditions. <br /> <br />A matrix was developed which tabulates the rating criteria, the: allowable rating points and t... <br />evaluation scores for each of the sites. The matrix Is presen,ed as Table 3. Site scores <br />for each criteria are totaled at the bottom of the matrix. $lte8 which best meet the <br />'I evaluation factors have higher scores. ! <br /> <br />~ RECOVERY FACILITY DESIGN ~ <br />I <br />... <br />1\ The operational requirements for the proposed facility are coniplex in relation to traditional <br />fish hatcheries due to the unIque constraint of working wlt~ rare and endangered fish <br />stocks.
