Challenges To Hatchery Program
• Limited water supplies
• Inability to isolate production
• Inability to exclude predators
• Crumbling raceways and pipelines
• Failure of $2 million Treatment Sys.
(Designed by Montgomery Watson)
• Loss of free heat to hatcheries beginning in 2003 ($4,000,000 unrealized utility cost)
• Inability to produce catchable sized Rainbow Trout, Chinook and Grayling
• 30% - 50 % loss in productivity

Immediate Response to Challenges
• Isolated Rearing Systems • Redeveloped and Reclaimed Wells
(2,000 - 3,000 gpm) a “Jack” thing
• Investigated Alternative Water Conservation Strategies
• Sent Staff to Recirculating Aquaculture Training Courses
• Constructed and Operated Pilot RAS for Evaluation
• Entire Facility running at 50% to 75% Reuse.

Why Consider RAS Facilities
• Freshwater Institute, Harry Westers and PR Aqua
• Toured Many, Many, Many, Hatcheries (Public and Private)
• Secure Environment for Staff and Fish
• Control Water Quality and Isolate Production
• Future Program Demands
• Lack of Alternatives
• Staff Commitment

Outcomes
• RAS Work!
• Primary Goals Met
• Small Things Missed
• Steep Learning Curve for Staff
• Building Systems Management Critical
• Optimization Problematic
• Concentrated Effluent Disposal Still Challenging
• Some Staff Near Burnout (recovering quickly)
![Page 35: ADF&G, Cold Water RAS Hatchery Construction and Operation•Isolated Rearing Systems •Redeveloped and Reclaimed Wells (2,000 - 3,000 gpm) a “Jack” thing •Investigated Alternative](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071302/60add5adf7911a46b70cfb66/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Recommendations • Be Proactive
• Eliminate the word “NO”
• Always Include Staff
• Learn From Others
• Establish Clear Goals
• Establish Clear Process
• Start With a Pilot System Now!
• Minimize Third Party Players
• Focus on Solving Problems (Keep it from getting personal)
• Hold People Accountable (Design Build)

Thank You • Harmannus “Harry” Westers Beware of Dogmatic Statement such as, Chinook cannot exceed a rearing
density of 32 kg/m3. Such declarations must be challenged….New ideas should constantly generate creative and innovative responses to operational and design practices (challenges).”
