  1. Debris Management • Trashracks • Screen Cleaning Systems

  2. Trash racks - Criteria “Open channel intakes shall include a trash rack which shall be kept free of debris.” “In certain cases, a satisfactory profile bar screen can substitute for a trash rack.” Comment - No trashrack would be rare situation - such as an on-river screen.

  6. Trashrack Spacing • Salmon can reject passage through small bar spacing's (3”). • Recommend no smaller than 4”, but only go this small if there is a compelling reason to do so. • Usually 6” – 9” spacing works pretty well. • Need to carefully assess what debris may be present.

  7. Trashrack Maintenance • Install at a 1:5 (horizontal:vertical) slope (or flatter) for ease of cleaning. • Provide easy access for cleaning. • Provide range of freedom for manipulating debris. • Need to clean trashrack whenever head drop exceeds a few inches, or whenever debris accumulates
