VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:55 Jun 21, 2024 Jkt 262001 The first page of any filing should include the docket number P–803–122. Comments emailed to Commission staff are not considered part of the Commission record. The Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure require all intervenors filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of that document on each person whose name appears on the official service list for the project. Further, if an intervenor files comments or documents with the Commission relating to the merits of an issue that may affect the responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency. k. Description of Request: The licensee requests a temporary variance of the instantaneous minimum flow requirements in the West Branch Feather River below the Hendricks Head Dam and in Philbrook Creek below Philbrook Reservoir to be averaged over 48 hours. Specifically, the licensee requests that the instantaneous normal and dry year minimum flow requirements: (1) in the West Branch Feather River, of 15 or 7 cubic feet per second (cfs), respectively, be temporarily modified to between 15 and 7 over 48 hours; and (2) in Philbrook Creek, of 2 cfs (in both water year types), be temporarily modified to between 1 and 2 cfs over 48 hours. The licensee proposes to execute these changes as soon as the Commission grants approval until September 30, 2024. The licensee states that the temporary variance would maximize the delivery of flows released from Philbrook to Butte Creek by eliminating the need to release additional buffer flows to ensure the requisite instantaneous minimum instream flows are always met. The proposed variance would help preserve cold water storage in Philbrook Reservoir, increase flow to Butte Creek via the Hendricks Canal, and decrease water residence time in the DeSabla Forebay, thus providing additional water to Butte Creek during the hot summer months to minimize high temperature effects to Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon, and to preserve water for release later in the summer months towards the end of their holding period when the situation is most critical. Decisions on when and how to implement variance flows, as well as any changes under the variance, will be done in consultation and proceed with concurrence of licensee staff, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, National Marine Fisheries Service, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
