Description of Request: PacifiCorp’s proposal to surrender the Paris Project exemption (P–703) is part of a larger habitat restoration effort proposed by PacifiCorp and the parties to a relicensing settlement agreement for PacifiCorp’s Bear River Hydroelectric Project (P–20). PacifiCorp proposes to decommission the Paris Project and stop the diversion of water from Paris Creek into the irrigation canal that serves the Paris Project. After decommissioning and exemption surrender, flows currently diverted through the canal would be returned to Paris Creek for the enhancement and restoration of approximately 3.5 miles of cold-water habitat for Bonneville Cutthroat Trout in the currently bypassed reach of Paris Creek. To partially mitigate the cost of the proposed decommissioning of the Paris Project, PacifiCorp proposes to amend the license for the Bear River Project to reduce the minimum instream flow requirement in the Grace Development’s bypassed reach. This reduction in required minimum instream flow would allow PacifiCorp to increase hydroelectric generation at the Grace Development to offset lost generation associated with the Paris Project decommissioning. l.
