摘要

The evaluation of reservoir bottom sediments and substrates in upstream and downstream channel reaches, for fisheries studies, FERC relicensing, and potential decommissioning of dams, is often done with limited data. Sediment characteristics (grain size, vertical and lateral extent and presence of contaminants, etc.) are primarily acquired using traditional methods, such underwater grab samples, cores or boreholes. These methods are relatively expensive and the sediment information needs to be broadly extrapolated because of the limited volume of material that is obtained. A number of geophysical methods, including precision bathymetry, sidescan sonar, subbottom profiling and seismic reflection profiling are shown to be cost-effective methods for rapidly acquiring data for sediment characterization. The data, acquired and viewed in real time, provide continuous profiles and plan view images of reservoir and river bottom sediments and substrates that can be used to characterize the sediment (silt, sand, gravel etc.), map the areal and vertical extent of sediment type, determine sediment volumes, and map habitat. Furthermore, while onsite the data can be interpreted and used to identify and select the best locations for obtaining sediment samples and cores for grain size and chemical analysis. Analysis of the sediment samples can then be used to further refine the interpreted geophysical data which are used to produce detailed maps of bottom sediment and substrate. Over-water geophysical investigations were conducted to map depth to bedrock and determine sediment type and thickness for FERC relicensing of three dams on the upper Snake River, and for FERC approval for removing a dam on the White Salmon River in southern Washington. These two case studies illustrate the cost-effectiveness of over-water geophysical methods for low-cost sediment and substrate characterization and for understanding site conditions for fisheries habitat delineation, dam construction and potential dam decommissioning projects.
