k. Description of Request: The
licensee requests a temporary variance
of the minimum flow requirement in the
East Branch Russian River. The licensee
states that it is planning to conduct
repairs to project works, including:
Replacing the penstock shutoff valves,
replacing the standpipe connection, and
installing penstock protection. In order
to complete the work, the licensee is
requesting a temporary variance of its
Dry year minimum flow requirement of
35 cubic feet per second (cfs) between
November 1, 2014 and March 15, 2015.
During this time, the licensee proposes
to release flows through a conduit into
a seasonal creek that is a tributary to the
East Branch Russian River immediately
downstream of the project powerhouse.
The licensee states that during the
repair period, it would release a
minimum flow of 20 cfs from the
conduit into the East Branch Russian
River, which would include the release
of up to 5 cfs for the Potter Valley
Irrigation District. As the project is
currently operating according to the Dry
year criteria, the licensee states that if

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 192 / Friday, October 3, 2014 / Notices
site conditions reach a Critically Dry
year status, it would instead, maintain
the license-required minimum flow of 5
cfs. Upon completion of construction,
the licensee states that it would notify
the resource agencies and return to the
license-required flows.
