RRJ - Rocky Reach Dam Juvenile Bypass System

The original configuration of this site was in place from 1996 until 2002, and consisted of antenna groups installed in the dam's surface collector, gatewell collector, and the juvenile monitoring facility. The current configuration has been in place since April 2010 and consists of six pass-through antennas located in the flowspreaders of the surface collector's dewatering channels. These antennas interrogate PIT-tagged fish entering the juvenile bypass system.
