(license) requests amendment of the Trinity Project’s resident fish habitat and project tailrace plan and effectiveness monitoring plan, which was approved in a Commission order issued April 22, 2008.1 The Trinity Project uses water from Phelps Creek, then returns it via the project tailrace to the Chiwawa River, several hundred yards above where the historic natural channel of Phelps Creek meets the Chiwawa River. The April 22, 2008 order approved two alternatives for the tailrace plan, both involving routing of water through a short section of pipe to a new 858-foot open tailrace channel that would follow natural contours to a confluence with Phelps Creek above where it meets the Chiwawa River. The licensee now requests, based on consultation with resource agencies, an amendment of the tailrace plan which would utilize 680 feet of primarily buried pipe for the first section of the new tailrace, leading to a shorter open reach. The change would reduce water loss and provide enhanced salmonid habitat in the area where the tailrace would join Phelps Creek. The licensee also requests approval of minor modifications to the effectiveness monitoring plan. l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission’s Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, or by calling (202) 502–8371.
