Description of Request: The licensee requests a temporary variance of the minimum flow requirements in the Eel River below Cape Horn Dam, the Eel River below Scott Dam, and the East Branch of the Russian River. The licensee explains that due to current drought conditions and earlier flood season constraints, the storage in the project Lake Pillsbury is approximately 57 percent full. The licensee also states that despite the low reservoir storage level, flows at several compliance points have necessitated that the project operate under a normal water year classification. Therefore, in order to conserve water at the project and avoid reservoir bank sloughing and water turbidity, the licensee requests Commission approval to operate under the dry year summer flow requirements from through December 1, 2015.
