Abstract/Description or Keywords The goal of the project is to collect information on spawning habitats, timing of spawning, species abundance, assess the importance of suspected nursery areas at the confluence of tributaries and main rivers, and provide a qualitative assessment of the risks that the operation of HLK Dam may pose for federally listed species of sculpin and dace. YEAR1-2009 (permit CB/PE09-51451): Year one included a study of these species in the Similkameen drainage where abundances are known to be high and observations could be made in an unimpounded system. Study was transfered to the Columbia system in late 2009 where the project is currently ongoing. Sampling on Tulameen River 310-367800-62000; Otter Creek 310-367800-62000-35700; Similkameen River 310-367800; Allison Creek 310-367800-60900; Norns Creek 300-639200; Columbia River 300-; Beaver Creek 300-619500; Blueberry Creek 300-633000; Kootenay River 349-ᅠ
