A brqodstock building has been <br />incorporated Into the design to accommodate tagging. spawning and recovery of <br />broodstock. ! <br /> <br />A state-of.the.art research facility has been incorporated inte? the design to satisfy the <br />special requirements of the Recovery Program. Primary research needs focus on <br />genetics, fish health, and population/environment interactio". Research laboratories <br />devoted to genetics, physiology and pathology are housed tcpgether In a building along <br />with support facilities such as a library, photography laboratory: conference and computer <br />rooms. An outdoor research space is supplied with a variety d,t water types and drainage <br />facilities to support a variety of rearing tank configurations for iconducting fish behavioral <br />experiments. /fI" . i <br /> <br />A hatchery bUII~ Is located. central to the facility. In~ubation of fish eggs for <br />propagation and all augmentation stocks will take place at the ~atchery building until their X <br />first feeding. The hatchery building will also house all intensi~e culture facilities for up to <br />one-half of total augmentation stocks. Sixty augmentatlo~ ponds are provided for <br />extensive culture. . : <br /> <br />The facility includes a visitors center containing aquariums a~d infprmational exhibits to <br />enhance the public awareness of the hatchery operationt rec9very program efforts. and <br />to provide general background information on the endanger~d fish. Walkways are also <br />provided to allow public access to certain areas of the facili~. <br /> <br />Quarantine facilities are strategically placed to receive all inco~ing live fish and/or eggs. <br />All biological products will be screened for diseases and quar$ntined prior to entrance to <br />the remainder of the facility. Access to all facilities is secure~'behind locking gates. <br /> <br />Water conditioning functions have been designed for aU thre~ water types. Heating or . <br />cooling requirements will be a function of the temperature of tije incoming supply and the. <br />specific life stage needs of the various fish stocks. In additio,n, the design Incorporates <br />water treatment facilities for degassing, aeration, screening anp disinfection. Wastewater <br />from all research, brood and culture operations will be adequately treated to prevent ' <br />escapement and to remove solids prior to discharge. Researph facility effluent water will <br />be directed to a pretreatment pond prior to screening to allow!for special treatment, such <br />as removal of pathogens, prior to discharge to settlement P9nds. All quarantine water <br />will be disinfected prior to discharge to the effluent disposal (acUity. <br /> <br />A maintenance and storage building is located near the hatch~ry and research complex. <br />A warehouse space is provided to store equipment and suppll~s. Emergency equipment <br />is provided for low oxygen. loss of power and general alarm d,ondltlons. Three domestic <br />residences are strategically placed outside the facility perimeter security fence at locations <br /> <br />fli~ <br />
