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 its winter pulse flow requirement. Specifically, the
licensee proposes to forego its required 1,000 cubic feet per second
(cfs) flow pulse from January 1-15, 2022. The licensee proposes to
instead, release a flow of 550 cfs in the lower Yuba River from the
Englebright Dam. In addition, the licensee requests that compliance
during the variance period be based on the 5-day running average of
daily average flows, with the 15-minute flow not less than 90 percent
of the adjusted flow requirement. The licensee requests the variance in
order to conserve limited water resources at the project as a result of
current drought conditions.
