Re: Plan and Schedule for Butte Canal Service Return
Dear Mr. Cruzen:
This is in response to a letter dated March 14, 2024, from Ms. Janet Walther, that
submitted a plan and schedule to submit a long-term plan and ne xt steps regarding the
Butte Canal Service Return, which is part of the DeSabla-Centerville Hydroelectric
Project, FERC No. 803. We have reviewed your submittal, and we have the following
comments that do not require a response:
1. An extended outage of the Butte Creek Canal is likely to have a dverse effects on
aquatic resources through elevated water temperatures in the DeSabla Forebay and
in the downstream reaches of Butte Creek, as evidenced by the r ecent March 26,
2024 letter from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife . Therefore, you
should make every effort to restore flows through the Butte Can al as soon as
possible or provide an alternate strategy for providing cool wa ter to Butte Creek
prior to the warmer months in 2024. We expect this objective will be
accomplished through the development of your annual Operations and
Maintenance Plan.
2. The plan and schedule for submitting the long-term plan and next steps by
December 1, 2024, is acceptable.
