Iron Gate and Copco Reservoirs, California Iron Gate and Copco Reservoirs are the terminal impoundments in PacifiCorps’s Klamath Hydroelectric Project located on the Klamath River in northern California. As part of the FERC relicensing activities for the Project, PacifiCorp contracted with MaxDepth Aquatics to assess the fisheries abundance and distribution in the deeper water habitats of the impoundments (report).
MaxDepth crews surveyed the two impoundments in August and October 2003 and April 2004 using a BioSonics split-beam hydroacoustic unit to provide information on the fish communities. The results not only documented the sparse fish abundance, but also revealed the short-term release of gas from the sediment during fall turnover in Copco Reservoir (below).
