Reclamation is offering this grant to support the continued development and quality assurance of the Lake Roosevelt temperature model. This grant is for providing additional funds to Portland State University (PSU) to perform peer review of multiple temperature model runs of Lake Roosevelt and Grand Coulee Dam. The initial cooperative agreement with PSU in 2011 aimed to develop this model to evaluate operational and structural alternatives influencing water flow and temperature regulation. The model also informs in-season watershed management decisions and holds potential for future inclusion of other biological and water quality constituents. Peer review is crucial to ensure quality assurance and quality control of Reclamation’s modeling efforts, enhancing its utility for environmental management.

| Description: | In 2011, Reclamation and Portland State University (PSU) entered into a cooperative agreement whereby PSU is to develop a temperature model of Lake Roosevelt, created by the Grand Coulee dam project. Development of this model affords the ability to evaluate operational and structural alternatives that can influence the regulation of water flow and temperature. It also has the potential to inform in-season watershed management decisions to reduce take, consistent with Section 14.5.2 of the 2008 Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) Biological Opinion (BiOp). The benefit to constructing a temperature model of Lake Roosevelt allows for the future inclusion of other biological and water quality constituents.
Additional funds are required for further evaluation of this project. Therefore, it is Reclamations intent to provide additional funds to PSU to perform peer review of multiple temperature model runs of Lake Roosevelt and Grand Coulee Dam. Peer review of model runs helps insure quality assurance and quality control (QA-QC) of Reclamations modeling effo |
