XXXXXXX River continued from page 9 Protocol,” based on the Tennant Method, developed to sustain fish flows in Montana, Wyoming, and Nebraska rivers. The Tennant Method uses reservoirs to trap winter and spring flows (from melting snow pack), which are then gradually released in drier times of year. Intending to apply this snowmelt method to all California salmon spawning rivers, the Division ignored the fact that northern California coastal rivers are fed by rainfall, not snow. Nor are anadro- mous fish present in east slope Rocky Mountain rivers where the Tennant Method was developed and applied. Incensed over this scientific malpractice, Xxxxx raised $5,000 and hired Dr. Xxxxxx Xxxxx (a respected hydrologist in salmonid science) to review the Russian River Protocol/ Tennant Method as applied to the Xxxxxxx River.7 Trout Unlimited hired Arcata-based Xx. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx (the independent scientist hired by the Court to determine the amount of water needed for fish in the tributaries to Mono Lake).8 Both Xxxxx and Xxxxx found that gradual release of water under the Russian River Protocol-Tennant Method will increase temperatures, turbidity, and sediment in the Xxxxxxx and Russian rivers and their tributaries. Anadromous fish (coho and steelhead) are very sensitive to these factors.
