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.
