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: Due to persistent drought conditions,
the licensee requests Commission approval of a temporary variance of
the minimum flow requirement at streamflow gages YB-316 (Upper Peak
Lower Peak and/or Kidd Lake), YB-207 (Lake Creek below Feeley Lake),
YB-208 (Carr Lake), and YB-209 (Rucker Creek below Blue Lake). The
licensee is requesting to reduce flow at YB-316, to 3 cubic feet per
second (cfs) and that flows at YB-207, YB-208 and YB-209 be reduced
from license required flows of 0.50 cfs (target), 0.20 cfs (allowable)
to proposed flows of 0.50 cfs (target), 0.10 cfs (allowable), measured
as a 48-hour average. As requested, the reduced flow releases would
prevent dewatering of these reaches. If granted, the variance would
last through October 1, 2021, or until adequate precipitation occurs to
ensure that inflow equals outflow at the referenced reservoirs for at
least seven consecutive days, whichever comes later.
l. Locations of the Application: The Commission provides all
interested persons an opportunity to view and/or print the contents of
this document via the internet through the Commission's website at

time, the Commission has suspended access to the Commission's Public
