Description This Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) outlines procedures for stage-and-release monitoring and data collection activities at three reservoirs operated by Icicle-Peshastin Irrigation District (IPID) known as Colchuck, Square, and Klonaqua (Project Lakes). The primary purpose of the efforts detailed in this QAPP are to inform IPID lake releases as a part of the Icicle Strategy Decision Support Tool.

While not the focus of this QAPP, this data is also expected to inform benefits and impacts associated with the proposed Alpine Lakes Reservoir Optimization, Modernization, and Automation Project whose purpose is to augment instream flows, and to inform design. Additionally, data collected will be used to inform temporary donations to the State Trust Water Rights Program (TWRP) of IPID reservoir water rights by better quantifying reservoir releases. A future new QAPP or QAPP addendum will be prepared to address all data and analyses required for the automation design and TWRP donations.

The efforts under this QAPP are funded by Grant Number WROCR-2325-ChCoNR-00050 from the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) Office of Columbia River (OCR).
