l. Description of Request: The applicant proposes to decommission
and administratively remove the Fall Creek Development from the project
license to facilitate conveyance of the decommissioned infrastructure
and lands to the City of Yreka, California (City). The applicant
proposes to cease power generation, disconnect the generating units
from the power grid, drain the units of any fluids, and convey the
decommissioned infrastructure and associated lands to the City for its
own water supply purposes. No construction, development, or ground-
disturbing activities are proposed. Leaving the infrastructure in place
would maintain the infrastructure necessary for the City's water supply
operations, as well as the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's
(California DFW) hatchery operations at the Fall Creek Hatchery. Both
the City and the California DFW have water supply facilities within the
tailrace channel for these purposes. Documentation of support from both
the City and California DFW was included with the application.
