RE: DeSabla-Centerville Hydroelectric Project, FERC No. 803–121
2023 Butte Canal Incident – Fisheries Mitigation Plan
Dear Secretary Reese:
The letter presents Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (PG&E) Fisheries Mitigation Plan (Plan) for
the presumed loss of 51–55 Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon (CVSRCS) holding adults or
the assumed quantity of their reproductive loss related to a breach in 2023 at Butte Canal, which is
part of PG&E’s DeSabla-Centerville Project, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) No.
803. PG&E prepared the Plan in accordance with FERC’s November 19, 20241, letter. Included
below are the chronology of PG&E’s responses to the incident, environmental monitoring record,
Plan, and agency consultation record. The Plan proposes either a habitat enhancement project or
funding support for a broodstock program, commensurate with FERC’s mitigation requirement.
Initial Incident Response
Sediment Removal (August–November 2023)
Following the 2023 canal breach, PG&E removed and stabilized downslope debris to minimize
sediment into Butte Creek. PG&E removed approximately 2,600 cubic yards of debris from the
alluvial sediment fan and placed it at an upland location. PG&E installed three armored crossings
to prevent sediment remobilization. FERC’s November 18, 2024, letter recognizes these actions as
essential to prevent further sedimentation.
Water Quality Monitoring and Independent Regulatory Determination (2023–2025)
PG&E responded immediately to determine water quality impacts following the 2023 incident. In
the week following the canal breach, PG&E collected sediment and water samples for full chemical
analysis at locations downstream of the sediment fan. Additionally, PG&E collected and analyzed
turbidity data from long-term monitoring locations.
From September 2023 through June 2024, PG&E collected weekly samples from four sampling
locations in Butte Creek, as required by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board
(CVRWQCB), and analyzed the samples for total suspended solids, settleable solids, dissolved
oxygen, and turbidity. On June 27, 2024, CVRWQCB approved PG&E’s request to terminate
weekly analysis and reporting of total suspended solids, settleable solids, dissolved oxygen, and
turbidity, because all these parameters stabilized to normal levels.

From September 2023 through June 2024 and October 2024 through July 2025, PG&E
continuously monitored turbidity and temperature at upstream and downstream stations and
provided monthly reports to the CVRWQCB, California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW),
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and FERC.
Photo documentation in August–September 2025 verified clear water, visible cobble and bedrock
at the site, reestablished riparian vegetation along the erosion path, and stable armored crossings.
Collectively, these monitoring results demonstrated that sediment mobilization from the breach site
was temporary, water quality conditions returned to pre-breach conditions, and the site presents a
low potential for further sediment inputs. The CVRWQCB independently reached the same
conclusion and formally terminated all monitoring requirements. PG&E filed its final water quality
reports with FERC on November 19, 20252.
Benthic Macroinvertebrates Assessment
PG&E developed a monitoring plan in consultation with CDFW and NMFS (together referred to as
“the Agencies”) to assess the effects of the canal breach on benthic macroinvertebrates (BMI).
PG&E filed the 2023 and 2024 BMI reports on December 31, 20243, and March 25, 20254,
respectively. Below is a summary of the findings.
PG&E conducted BMI surveys in 2023 and 2024 using the Surface Water Ambient Monitoring
Program (SWAMP) protocol to assess the effects of the sediments from the canal breach on the
BMI community. From these data, the California Stream Condition Index (CSCI) score and
Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera (EPT) Index were calculated and used to characterize
the health of the BMI community. Data for all sites sampled were compared to historical CSCI and
EPT Index data. Data collected at all sites fell within the range of historical EPT and CSCI values.
In general, the results did not indicate any clear reach‑wide negative effects on the BMI community
that could be attributed to sediments originating from the breach sediments.
CVSRCS Habitat Assessment
PG&E developed a monitoring plan in consultation with the Agencies to assess the effects of the
canal breach on CVSRCS habitats. PG&E filed the 2023 and 2024 CVSRCS habitat assessment
reports on December 31, 20245, and March 13, 20256, respectively. Below is a summary of the
findings.
PG&E assessed the of effects of sediment on habitat for three life stages of the CVSRCS
Evolutionarily Significant Unit (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha pop. 11; federally and state listed as
threatened) in 2023 and 2024. The assessment in 2023 included aerial photography and ground
truthing to document and describe the distribution of fine red sediment in all habitats within the
reaches from the sediment debris fan to the Parrot Phelan Dam. Fine red sediment was the color
and characteristic of the sediment debris fan and erosional scar that resulted from the 2023

incident. These distinct characteristics allowed PG&E to track the sediment over time. In 2024,
PG&E collected the same data to document the change in the distribution of fine red sediment
throughout the same reaches. The 2023 and 2024 assessments included subsurface core
sampling to assess the presence of fine red sediment that could impede embryo development and
emergence of fry. The assessments also included the assumption that fine red sediment could
have potentially originated from the canal breach.
Results from the 2023 and 2024 assessments showed no levels of fine red sediment within
spawning gravels that would impede spawning, incubation, embryo development, emergence, or
rearing. In addition, the extent of fine red sediment observed following the incident was
substantially reduced by 2024, indicating that habitat function had recovered with no indication of
long-term impairment from the fine red sediments.
Regulatory and Consultation Timeline in Response to FERC’s Letter
PG&E’s filings with FERC concerning the Plan are listed below:
December 31, 20247 PG&E submitted a comprehensive response to FERC’s letter,
consolidating monitoring data and assessments for water quality, BMI,
and fish habitat.
June 18, 20258 PG&E filed a status update and requested additional time to continue
consultation on mitigation alternatives.
September 18, 20259 PG&E filed a second extension request to allow continued agency
dialogue on broodstock funding proposals.
November 26, 202510 FERC granted an extension to January 31, 2026, noting ongoing
consultation and the need to file a final Plan by the new deadline.
FERC’s November 19, 2024, Letter – Required Mitigation Scope
The November 19, 2024, letter directs PG&E to prepare a plan that mitigates “the adverse effects
for the loss of 54–59 percent (51–55 adults) of adult spring-run Chinook, or the assumed quantity
of juvenile salmon that would have resulted from the partially -lost 2023 cohort,” and specifies
mitigation options that “may include habitat improvement, fish stocking, fish passage
improvements, funding for habitat improvement projects or brood stock rearing, or other similar
measures.” This plan is to be created in consultation with the Agencies.
Definition of Key Terms
For purposes of this analysis and unless otherwise noted, the term “cohort” refers to the spawning
cohort, or the adult CVSRCS that were holding in Butte Creek at the time of the incident.

The term “presumed” is used throughout this document following the terminology in FERC’s
November 19, 2024, letter. FERC characterizes both the estimated number of adult salmon lost
(51–55 individuals) and several longer-term biological effects, as presumed based on available
information. Using the estimated adult loss as a starting point, PG&E translates that estimate into
measurable biological outputs that can be mitigated in practice.
For clarity, this document uses the term “mitigation” as FERC employs it in its November 19, 2024,
letter, as actions intended to offset the discrete, incident-related biological loss associated with the
partially lost 2023 cohort.
By contrast, “enhancement” refers to measures that increase habitat quantity or function above
existing conditions. In this instance, because post-incident monitoring indicates that pre-incident
aquatic conditions have been restored, the mitigation options available to PG&E necessarily take
the form of habitat enhancement actions that generate additional spawning, incubation, or rearing
opportunity to compensate for the defined reproductive loss.
Estimation of Reproductive Loss
In response to the scope articulated in the November 19, 2024, letter, PG&E developed, and on
June 18, 2025, filed with FERC, the Butte Creek Framework for Evaluating Mitigation Alternatives
for Central Valley Spring‑Run Chinook Salmon11. This document describes PG&E’s assessment of
potential mitigation pathways that resulted in identifying specific, measurable, well-defined
objectives for mitigation. PG&E then identified quantified actions to meet those objectives for each
life stage and ranked the actions based on how likely they were to be successful. All assumptions,
quantities, and actions were based on peer-reviewed literature. The document provides
established population-based mitigation objectives for each life stage: adult, spawning, and
rearing. Based on this framework, PG&E estimated the reproductive loss associated with the
presumed loss of 51–55 holding adult CVSRCS by translating adult loss into expected juvenile
production. To date, this document represents the best available information for achieving the
required mitigation.
The estimated reproductive loss is 35,000–175,000 fry. The steps calculating these estimates are
as follows:
1. Loss of 23–24 female spawners was estimated assuming a 50:50 sex ratio and applying
average pre-spawning survival estimates based on CDFW’s 2001–2022 escapement
surveys.
2. Female fecundity range was calculated by applying the Kauffman et al. 200912 fork‑length
(FL) relationship (eggs per female = 11.137 × FL - 3065.5) to the minimum (495 mm) and
maximum (945 mm) FL of spawned female carcasses observed by CDFW in 2017, 2018,
2021, and 2022. This calculation resulted in a fecundity range of 2,448–7,459 eggs per

female. This range is similar to the estimated 1,350–7,193 eggs per female for CVSRCS in
Mill and Deer Creeks (CDFG 199813).
3. The embryo survival range of 62–98% was estimated using the Tappel and Bjornn 198314
substrate‑based survival model over a 2-year study: PG&E’s Butte Canal Breach Central
Valley Spring Run Chinook Salmon Habitat Assessment (prepared by PG&E in 2024 and
2025).
PG&E’s Plan – Habitat Enhancement Project
PG&E’s Plan consists of a combination of gravel augmentation and large woody debris placement
to increase spawning, incubation, and rearing opportunity above existing conditions. These actions
would provide a quantifiable mechanism to replace the reproductive output associated with the
partial 2023 spawning cohort loss and generate incremental increases in production over multiple
years. Tables 1 and 2 summarize the population objectives, habitat enhancement measures, and
estimated costs associated with the Plan. The estimated total Plan cost is approximately $2.6 to
$5.1 million.

Agency Consultation
PG&E coordinated with the Agencies throughout 2025, holding 11 meetings and engaging in
correspondence between meetings to evaluate mitigation alternatives in response to FERC’s
November 19, 2024, letter. While the parties did not reach alignment on a mitigation approach,
PG&E remained focused on a mitigation solution that is proportional to the assumed reproductive
loss of the presumed 51–55 holding adults lost and grounded in quantifiable, science-based
objectives. The Agencies declined PG&E’s proposed habitat enhancement mitigation and instead
requested funding for a multiyear broodstock program estimated at approximately $21.2 million
over seven years (email dated June 10, 2025). To understand the basis of this request and to
assess proportionality and effectiveness, on November 10, 2025, PG&E requested from CDFW the
technical rationale supporting the broodstock program’s duration, scale, and monitoring
requirements, including information on how their costs are related to the assumed reproductive
loss of the presumed mortality of 51–55 adult spring-run Chinook (approximately 35,000–175,000
fry).
On January 20, 2025, CDFW provided a single-year cost estimate of approximately $1.7 million a
year for a broodstock program producing 250,000 fry annually while maintaining approximately
20,000 broodstock fish. While informative regarding annual operating costs, this level of program is
more consistent with a recovery-scale conservation program than with mitigation addressing the
partial spawning cohort loss of a single year. This recovery-scale framing is further reflected in the
examples cited in the January 20, 2025, email, including the Russian River Salmon and Steelhead
Conservation Hatchery Program and the Monterey Bay Salmon and Trout Project, which are
expressly designed to address sustained population declines rather than single partial
demographic losses.
The Agencies emphasize that the effects of the 2023 incident were magnified by low population
abundance in recent years and that the resulting cohort reduction created a genetic bottleneck
requiring their proposed intervention. PG&E acknowledges that the incident occurred during a
period of low population abundance and that genetic considerations are relevant at a broader
species-recovery scale. However, PG&E is not responsible for mitigating the causes of reduced
population trends preceding the event, which includes activities that influence various life stages
through the Sacramento River, Delta, and Pacific Ocean. Independent scientific guidance from the
Hatchery Scientific Review Group, an expert panel that included the National Oceanic Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) scientist, states captive broodstock and other segregated conservation
programs, are intended for extreme circumstances, such as when a species is in rapid decline or at
imminent risk of extinction (HSRG 200415). Applying a multigeneration broodstock program to offset
an occurrence in a single year is inconsistent with this guidance and exceeds the scope of FERC’s
directive.
PG&E recognizes the challenges posed by low returns. Those trends, however, are outside
PG&E’s responsibility for this incident and should not expand the scope of mitigation. FERC’s
November 19, 2024, letter defines the obligation narrowly: to mitigate the partial presumed loss
associated with the 51–55 holding adults or there assumed quantity of reproductive loss. PG&E

remains committed to meeting that obligation with a mitigation approach that is proportional,
technically defensible, and measurable.
Broodstock Funding
PG&E recognizes that the Agencies do not support PG&E’s Plan but instead prefer the
development of a broodstock program. PG&E is willing to provide funding of $5.1 million over a 2-
year period beginning in 2027 directly to the Agencies in lieu of PG&E’s Plan. The money could be
used to support development of a broodstock program. This dollar amount is the high end of the
range PG&E would expect to expend through habitat enhancement to address the assumed
quantity of the reproductive loss of the presumed 51–55 holding adults identified in the November
19, 2025, letter. Accordingly, PG&E’s proposed $5.1 million funding meets the mitigation
requirement in FERC’s November 19, 2024, letter.
Conclusion
The completed sediment removal, stabilization, and monitoring actions restored pre-incident
conditions and studies requested by the Agencies showed no lasting habitat impairment.
Accordingly, an enhancement-based plan that increases reproductive opportunity above existing
productivity is appropriate and sufficient to replace the presumed loss of 51–55 holding adults or
the assumed quantity of their reproductive loss. Recovery scale interventions spanning multiple
generations are not required by the letter and are not supported by the record.
PG&E respectfully requests that FERC approve either implementation of PG&E’s habitat
enhancement-based mitigation strategy or, at the Agencies’ election, a funding contribution over 2
years of $5.1 million to satisfy the mitigation requirement. This level of mitigation fully offsets the
discrete reproductive loss associated with the 2023 incident, is supported in the FERC record, and
is proportional to the scope of impact identified in FERC’s Order.
PG&E has taken note of CDFW’s January 29, 2026, correspondence submitted to FERC. Once
reviewed, PG&E will provide comments to FERC if determined necessary. PG&E remains
committed to compliance with FERC’s directive and to implementing a plan that is science based
and aligned with established regulatory principles.

Hi All,
To give PG&E more information on the costs of a captive broodstock program for wild spring-
run Chinook salmon we have discussed in previous meetings (captive broodstock program), I
have attached a budget breakdown of costs associated with annual operations of a captive
broodstock program including monitoring costs associated with a program. There are four tabs
in the attached budget breakdown, which include details on staffing and operating expenses at
current rates; fish feed schedules; and annual in-field monitoring costs at current rates. There
are also important considerations for a captive broodstock facility which I’ve listed below.
· A captive broodstock program requires having multiple life history stages of fish on site
year-round which have different food and space requirements. This has a significant
influence on the costs of operating because staff, equipment, and fish food costs are
all higher compared to facilities where all juvenile production is released seasonally.
For this reason, the staffing costs and operating expenses of a captive broodstock
program are unique. To provide an estimate for these costs in the budget breakdown
we developed a hypothetical steelhead hatchery program budget. Steelhead hatchery
programs have steelhead on site year-round and multiple life history phases are
present at a facility that would need to be cared for concurrently. This is what is done
currently at steelhead mitigation production facilities in the Central Valley.
For more information on the unique needs of captive broodstock programs, two
examples are here:
Monterey Bay Salmon and Trout Project
Conservation Hatchery Program | California Sea Grant
· Water supply is a critical component when identifying a facility to house a captive
broodstock program because salmonids will imprint on the water source in the facility
and try to return as adults to water from that watershed. This is the reason we have
identified the Feather River Thermalito Annex Facility (annex) to locate the captive
Document Accession #: 20260130-5495 Filed Date: 01/30/2026
broodstock program. Because the annex’s water supply is well water, the ability for a
salmon raised in the annex to imprint on this water, and therefore return to the
watershed, rather than Butte Creek after being released, is limited. Well water also
decreases the likelihood of introducing fish pathogens from the hatchery facility’s water
supply to fish on site which decreases treatment costs for fish at the facility.
· All functional hatchery facilities in the Central Valley have existing programs that
cannot be displaced by a new captive broodstock program. The annex is currently not
in use and has been identified as a facility that can be rehabilitated and refurbished to
fit multiple needs, including a captive broodstock program. Additionally, many current
hatchery facilities in California are aging and need extensive rehabilitation, so costs
associated with rehabilitation and refurbishment are not unique to the annex.
· In locating a facility for a captive broodstock program, proximity to release locations is
critical because the distance from the facility to the release location directly influences
the potential for losses during transport and increases the fuel costs and wear on
transport vehicles. The annex is uniquely located in Northern California close to
potential release locations in Butte Creek with easy access to the highway.
· An important component of a captive broodstock program is post-release monitoring
and monitoring the integration of hatchery production in with the natural population. It
is critical to know if hatchery release strategies and release locations in a watershed
are successful and to track status and trends of the receiving population. This is the
reason we included a hypothetical watershed monitoring budget for Butte Creek in the
budget breakdown.
We look forward to discussing this matter at our meeting tomorrow.

Subject: RE: Information Request – Fisheries Mitigation Pathways
Hi Sky,
We won’t have this information available at the meeting but would appreciate if PG&E could
explain the information request in more detail, including the specific ask and reasoning, during
the meeting.
CDFW does not have a “broader interpretation” of the NOV language. Based our knowledge
and expertise of Central Valley salmon biology and the Butte Creek population specifically, the
death of 50% or more of the adult spawning population of Butte Creek spring-run in 2023
included immediate and long-term impacts to population viability.
Thanks,
Anna

NMFS,
Bringing this email back to the top for visibility. Glad to see everyone back in the office.
CDFW,
Would it be possible to provide the requested information a few days prior to the December 3,
2025, meeting? This will help ensure a focused and productive discussion.

Subject: Information Request – Fisheries Mitigation Pathways
Hi CDFW,
As discussed, PG&E is evaluating a contribution to a captive broodstock program as a potential
mitigation path. We understand this approach differs significantly from traditional hatchery
operations and recognize the complexity involved, genetic testing, acclimation to captivity, and
spawning protocols.
Document Accession #: 20260130-5495 Filed Date: 01/30/2026
To support further evaluation, PG&E respectfully requests any available detail on the cost
structure and operational scope of the anadromous broodstock program. Specifically, we’re
hoping to better understand:
• Estimated cost to produce 35,000–175,000 fry, based on fecundity and survival
rates from peer-reviewed sources.
• Scaled program duration required to produce and release that fry quantity (e.g., 1–3
years), assuming a single-cohort mitigation strategy.
• Breakdown of short-term captive broodstock costs, including:
o Juvenile collection and acclimation
o Genetic testing and spawning
o Facility use (temporary or existing infrastructure)
o Monitoring and reporting
• Clarification on any assumptions CDFW is using that would justify CDFW’s cost
estimates, particularly if those assumptions extend beyond the scope of the NOV (e.g.,
species recovery, multi-year population support).
We understand CDFW may have a broader interpretation of the NOV language. We remain
committed to a science-based, scope-appropriate solution and welcome any additional data or
rationale that would help reconcile cost estimates.
Kindly,
Sky Ramirez-Doble
