<br />, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />Task 3: <br /> <br />Denlop Design Criteria <br /> <br />Objective: <br /> <br />To develop design criteria for the endangered fish hatchery. <br /> <br />Responsibility: <br /> <br />All team members will contribute to this task. <br /> <br />Methodology: <br /> <br />Development of the design criteria for the proposed hatchery will be accomplished <br />jointly by the project team to utilize the experience of each member in their field of <br />expertise. The criteria will be reviewed and integrated to achieve a unified, workable <br />hatchery design. The following sections describe the methodology for determining the <br />necessary criteria for key hatchery components: <br /> <br />1. Biological design and culture techniques based on fish life stage requirements: <br />Information will be assimilated from literature and applied, with project team <br />expertise, to evaluate design needs based on known life history requirements. <br /> <br />2, Site requirement criteria will be based on proximity to wild populations, good <br />water Quality, and the effects of climate and temperature. Project team <br />biologists will utilize their expertise regarding endangered fish and the proposed <br />sites to select appropriate criteria. Engineering site requirement criteria such <br />as land area and topographic needs, geologic suitability, availability of support <br />utilities, proximity to support services, etc. will be determined by the project <br />team based upon the needs of the proposed facility and the experience of the <br />project team in economical and efficient site development. <br /> <br />3. Research facility needs identified in Task 2 will be applied to design criteria to <br />satisfy these needs, e.g. multiple feeding troughs to assess various diets. <br /> <br />4. Operation and maintenance criteria will be determined largely from conferences <br />with personnel from the Dexter and Willow Beach National Fish Hatcheries and <br />the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. <br /> <br />5, Visitor/education center criteria will be based on excellent examples of visitor <br />center facilities currently existing at various hatcheries throughout the country; <br />information on these will be collected and coordinated with the goals of the <br />CWCB for the proposed hatchery. <br /> <br />6. Water Quality, water supply/heating criteria will be based upon knowledge of <br />the physical and chemical reQuirements of the species, together ",ith the <br />experiences of the Dexter and Willow Beach National Fish Hatcheries. <br /> <br />7, Waste treatment facility criteria will be based upon existing criteria for <br />conventional hatcheries currently in operation, The team will coordinate with <br />the Colorado Department of Health-Water Quality Control Division, <br /> <br />Work Products: <br /> <br />A Task Report containing detailed narrative of specific hatchery design criteria will <br />be provided for review and approval by the Technical Advisory Committee before <br />proceeding with the remaining tasks, <br /> <br />5 <br />
