2 Santee-Cooper: A Lock on Fish Passage A brief review of upstream passage of American shad In the Santee Cooper System, South Carolina Steve Leach Normandeau Associates, Inc. sleach@normandeau.com

3 Objective: To briefly describe the Santee Cooper, South Carolina system and outline American shad passage in the system by navigation lock and fish lock Cooper R. Santee R.

4 History of the Santee-Cooper System Large-scale anthropogenic perturbations Santee Canal : , first summit canal in U.S. Santee-Cooper Project Santee River Diversion online Jefferies Station / Pinopolis Dam,130 MW rm 48 Santee Dam 3,400 ft. long spillway 8 mi. long earthen dam rm 89

5 Cooper River Fish Passage Striped bass can live out their life cycle in freshwater 1 Santee Cooper striped bass preferentially prey on blueback herring 2 Blueback herring use the Pinopolis Lock for upstream passage 3 Since 1957, the lock has been operated in season specifically for fish passage (more on that in a couple of minutes) But 1 Scruggs, G.D., Jr. and J.J.C. Fuller Indications of a freshwater population of striped bass, Rocus saxatillis (Walbaum), in Santee Cooper Reservoir. Proceedings of the Southeastern Association of Game and Fish Commissioners: Stevens R.E The striped bass of the Santee Cooper Reservoir. Proceedings of the Annual Conference Southeastern Association of Game and Fish Commissioners 1: Fuller J.C., Jr Job Completion Report, Investigations Projects, Santee-Cooper Reservoirs. SCWRD,

6 Santee River diversion = Charleston Harbor silt! USACE proposes the Cooper River Rediversion Project 1968

7 Cooper River Rediversion Project Completed 1985 Restored Santee R. flow to ~10,400 cfs Included new canal with 84 MW powerhouse, and fishway designed into the dam not retrofit! St. Stephen fish lock operational 1986 (more on that in a couple of minutes)

8 37 mi. bypass reach 2 powerhouses 1 spillway

9 Cooper River Fish Passage - Monitoring Annual passage monitoring hydroacoustic monitoring since 1975 Species assemblage estimated by trammel net, electrofishing, and rotenone Little attraction flow / exit flow Milling of exiting fish verified by DIDSON Growth of American shad recreational fishery annual creel survey

10 Biomass (tonnes) Pinopolis Lock, Cooper River, SC. Annual estimated biomass passed during spring monitoring period. 1,600 1,400 1,200 1, Rediversion Proportion of shad increased in the 1990 s

11 Proportion (%) Cooper River Fish Passage Monitoring American Shad Radio Telemetry Study 2002, 2003 To estimate efficiency of Pinopolis Lock in attracting and passing adult American shad Normandeau Associates Effectiveness of the Pinopolis Lock at attracting adult blueback herring and American shad, Spring Draft report prepared for Santee Cooper - South Carolina Public Service Authority.

12 Cooper River Fish Passage Monitoring HTI 3D Telemetry Study Timko M.A., D. Cooke, T. Steig, and S. Leach Monitoring of shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum), blueback herring (Alosa aestivalis) and American shad (A. sapidissima) with acoustic tags at Pinopolis Locks, SC to assess fish passage under induced flow conditions., HTI., Seattle.
