<br />. 001868 <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />types and drainage facilities to support a variety of rearing tank configurations for <br />conducting fish behavioral experiments. <br /> <br />A hatchery building is located central to the facility. Incubation and culture to first feeding <br />of all augmentation stocks will take place here. The hatchery building will also house all <br />intensive culture facilities for up to one-half of total augmentation stocks. Sixty <br />augmentation ponds are provided for extensive culture. <br /> <br />Quarantine facilities are strategically placed to receive all incoming live fish and/or eggs. <br />All biological products will be screened for diseases and quarantined prior to entrance to <br />the remainder of the facility. Access to all facilities is secured behind locking gates. <br /> <br />Water conditioning functions have been designed for all three water types. Heating or <br />cooling requirements will be a function of the temperature of the incoming supply and the <br />specific life stage needs of the various fish stocks. In addition, the design incorporates <br />water treatment facilities for degassing, aeration, screening and disinfection. Wastewater <br />from all research, brood and augmentation culture operations will be adequately treated <br />to prevent escapement and to remove solids prior to discharge. Research facility effluent <br />water will be directed to a pretreatment pond prior to screening to allow for special <br />treatment, such as removal of pathogens, prior to discharge to settlement ponds. All <br />quarantine water will be disinfected prior to discharge to the effluent disposal facility. <br /> <br />A maintenance and storage building is located near the hatchery and research complex. <br />A warehouse space is provided to store equipment and supplies. Emergency equipment <br />is provided for low oxygen, loss of power and general alarm conditions. Three domestic <br />residences are strategically placed outside the facility perimeter security fence at locations <br />which allow for observation into critical areas of the hatchery complex by off-duty hatchery <br />workers and their families. <br /> <br />COSTS <br /> <br />The conceptual level design prepared for this study includes a hatchery building and <br />broodstock rearing ponds for augmentation; ponds for holding additional broodstock and <br />for refugia; and a research building and outside research facilities. This design represents <br />a state-of-the-art facility to assist in the recovery of the endangered fishes. <br /> <br />The intent during the evol~ion of the design of thi~Very facil~ to provide <br />design and cost information for those components and facilities which would be part of <br />a model facility. This information could then be used to assist in the final selection of the <br />recovery facility components; selection of the site, and would also be a starting point for <br />the preliminary design. <br /> <br />Estimated conceptual design level costs for capital construction were developed for on <br />a comparable unit or system basis and are shown in Table 7,8 and 9.
