k. Description of Request: Condition 3 of the Water Quality
Certification, issued on November 9, 2020, by the California Water
Resources Control Board (California Water Board) for the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission Order Compliance Project for Anderson Reservoir
and Dam requires Valley Water to develop a Cross Valley Pipeline
Extension and Coyote Creek Chillers Project Site-Specific Plan (Plan).
The Plan, approved by the California Water Board, includes construction
of: (1) an extension of the existing Cross Valley Pipeline that starts
at the intersection of Hale Avenue and San Bruno Avenue and terminates
at Coyote Creek, downstream of Ogier Ponds; and (2) chillers that will
cool imported water that will be discharged from the current Cross
Valley Pipeline discharge point into the Cold-Water Management Zone in
Coyote Creek below Anderson Dam. Construction of the Cross Valley
Pipeline extension includes dewatering several segments of pipeline,
adding a new pipeline branch, and construction of an outfall structure
on the bank of Coyote Creek. Since Commission staff analyzed and
approved the chillers in the October 1, 2020 and February 2, 2021
Orders Approving, In Part, Reservoir Drawdown and Operations Plan,
Valley Water has changed its proposed location for constructing and
operating the chillers. Valley Water proposes to install and operate
the chillers at the existing Coyote Pumping Plant (owned by the U.S.
Bureau of Reclamation) located at 18300 Peet Road, Morgan Hill, CA.
