Contract Description:
Activity:
This is a project for the Administration and System Operation of the Columbia River Basin PIT Tag Information System (PTAGIS).

Agency:
Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC).

Goal:
The goal of this project is to operate and maintain the Columbia River Basin-wide database for PIT Tagged fish and to operate and maintain the established interrogation systems. The data collected by this system is accessible to the general public from the PTAGIS web portal.

The measurable goal for the system is to collect 100% valid data and provide that data  in “near-real” time with downtime of any system component of not more than one percent as measured during the period of peak out-migration.

Background:
In 1984, Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) entered into an agreement with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to research and develop a passive integrated transponder (PIT) tag for use in the Columbia River Basin (CRB) Fish and Wildlife Program (FWP). The PIT tag system enables large amounts of data to be produced using relatively few tags, compared to traditional tagging and marking systems.

In 1988 and 1989, NMFS contracted with PSMFC to develop and operate a prototype database system to help NMFS meet, in a timely manner, its contractual and verbal agreements involving PIT tag data.  The database was designed to meet immediate needs as well as provide a framework for a formalized database system for the Columbia River Basin PIT tag program.

In April 1989, NMFS announced its intention to phase out of the operation, maintenance and management of the PIT tag systems in the Columbia River Basin. Subsequently, BPA contracted with PSMFC because it was the only agency experienced in data management with no vested interest in the interpretation of data generated from PIT tags, while being independent of water or fish and wildlife management responsibilities.

The actions that PSMFC was directed to implement under the PTAGIS contract include:
1. Management of a long term Columbia River Basin-wide database system accessible to all entities;
2. Maintenance and documentation of fish tagging and interrogation software;
3. Operation and maintenance of equipment at the remote sites;
4. Provision of technical support for the software and hardware;
5. Provision of training to users; and
6. Distribution of PIT tags and associated equipment.

Location:
The PIT Tag Operation Center (PTOC) has been established at the PSMFC office in Portland, OR to house PTAGIS and to utilize the PSMFC data facilities.
The PTOC field office in Kennewick WA, is primarily responsible for equipment maintenance of 21 key PIT Tag interrogation sites, with a total of 564  PIT tag detection antennae located throughout the BPA service area.

PSMFC provides operations and maintenance (O&M) support for the electronic data collection portion of the PIT tag interrogation systems at the Corps operated facilities, under a “Memorandum of Agreement” between BPA and the Corps. PSMFC maintains PIT Tag actuated separation (diversion) gates at various fish facilities. PSMFC also installs and maintains the programmable logic controllers (PLC’s) used by smolt monitoring and facility personnel to collect daily sub-samples. Information related to the sub-sample is incorporated into the PIT tag interrogation files.

Remote interrogation sites are owned and operated by other entities, such as the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) or Yakama Nation (YN). The major interrogation sites include:
