I am wondering if the warm water spued out by the power plant increases bacteria rate in the summer which decomposes residual mature salmon dead matter. This would cause a mask of scent marker which might cause the kings to miss the Chena river all together. That combined with parking lot run off which adds more volume of water to the lower chena in a shorter period of time especially in a June/July heavy rain. Do a historical search.What ever happend to the "Bates Rapids"? Has there been any studies compiled on the impact on salmon spawning by the power plant in down town Fairbanks?
