k. Description of Request: On October
8, 2015, the licensee filed an application
to amend its license and install fish
passage facilities at the project. Public
notice of the application was issued
November 5, 2015. That application was
placed in abeyance on December 21,
2016. The licensee’s October 31, 2017
filing of its revised amendment
application lifts the abeyance.
Therefore, Commission staff notices the
licensee’s revised amendment
application.
The licensee proposes to construct
upstream fish passage facilities on the
east bank of the dam and to modify the
existing spillway to improve
downstream fish passage. To
accommodate the proposed
modifications, the licensee would raise
the project’s normal maximum reservoir
elevation by 3 feet and would replace
the current flashboard system with a
fixed wooden flashboard section along
with one inflatable weir to attain the
proposed higher reservoir elevation. The
licensee states that the amendment is
necessary to facilitate the reintroduction
of steelhead trout and Chinook salmon.
Revisions to the licensee’s original
application include a reduction in the
proposed normal maximum pool
elevation increase from 6 feet to 3 feet,
a modified forebay elevation range for
fish ladder operation, a single fish
ladder exit, and the use of one gate for
downstream fish passage.
l. Locations of the Application: A
copy of the application is available for
inspection and reproduction at the
