Description of Request: The licensee requests a temporary variance from the reservoir elevation requirements for the Hebgen Development required by item (4) of Article 403 of the licensee. Specifically, the Hebgen reservoir dropped below the minimum required elevation of 6,530.26 feet beginning July 22 through October 1, 2021. The reservoir elevation fell below the requirements due to low winter snowpack, minimal inflow, and hot and dry conditions in 2021 reducing availability of water in the Madison River drainage and Hebgen reservoir. In addition, maintaining the required minimum and pulse flows contributed to accelerated drafting of Hebgen VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:50 Dec 10, 2021 Jkt 256001 reservoir in 2021. The variance has concluded, and the licensee’s filing requesting a temporary variance is afterthe-fact, as required by Commission staff’s September 10, 2021 letter. l.
