RE: DeSabla-Centerville Hydroelectric Project, FERC No. 803-CA
Philbrook Dam, NATDAM No. CA00345
Weir Modification Project – Exhibit Update
Dear Secretary Reese:
This letter provides notification that Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has reviewed the
Philbrook Dam Weir 44A Wing Wall Installation, Final Construction Report dated April 10, 2026, and
has determined that no revisions are necessary to Exhibits A, F, and G. On October 22, 2021, FERC
informed PG&E that within 90 days of facility completion, PG&E must submit revised exhibits for
Commission approval to accurately depict the project facilities as built. Alternatively, if the previously
approved exhibits sufficiently reflect the as-built facilities and require no modifications, PG&E is
required to provide a letter confirming this determination. This correspondence fulfills this Commission
requirement.
This conclusion is based on the provisions outlined in Standard License Article 2 of the DeSabla-
Centerville operating license, which permits the licensee to make minor alterations or departures from
approved exhibits provided such changes do not constitute substantial modifications. The completed
weir modification resulted in an inconsequential change to the project facilities, constructed at a scale
not captured by the existing exhibits. Furthermore, the modification did not negatively impact
efficiency, increase costs, harm the environment, or affect operations.
On November 4, 2025, FERC granted authorization for PG&E to proceed with the project.
Construction was finalized on November 24, 2025, and PG&E subsequently submitted an extension
of time request for the submission of the Final Construction Report (FCR) in a letter dated February
23, 2026. The FCR was officially submitted on April 10, 2026.
If you have questions or comments regarding this matter, please contact Duncan Drummond, license
coordinator for PG&E, at (530) 215-9678.
Sincerely,
Matt Joseph
Supervisor, Hydro License Management
