The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all

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

k. Description of Request: The licensee requests a temporary
variance of its flow release limit requirement from Pyramid Lake.
Specifically, the licensee proposes to temporarily forego its maximum
limit for annually delivering water to the United Water Conservation
District (United) between November 1 and the end of February via middle
Piru Creek from Pyramid Dam. The licensee proposes to temporarily
increase this requirement from the current limit of 3,150 acre-feet of
water per year, to no more than 25,000 acre-feet. The licensee proposes
to deliver their supplemental water to United through middle Piru Creek
from Pyramid Dam from November 1, 2023 through February 29, 2024. The
licensee requests the variance in order to utilize excess water
accumulated during multiple rainstorms in early January 2023 to improve
groundwater conditions in the local area, which have been severely
depleted due to ongoing drought conditions and restrictions on United's
diversion facilities.
