below the Butte Head Dam, and in 

Philbrook Creek below Philbrook Dam. 

The licensee requests that the 

instantaneous dry year minimum flow 

requirement of 7 cubic feet per second 

(cfs) at Hendricks Head and Butte Head 

Diversion Dams be temporarily 

modified to a 7 cfs, 48-hour average 

minimum flow. The licensee states that 

the temporary variance would eliminate 

the need to release additional buffer 

flows of 4 to 5 cfs and instead, allocate 

those flows to the lower reaches of Butte 

Creek, where Central Valley spring-run 

Chinook salmon are currently holding. 

In addition, the licensee requests that 

the minimum flow requirement in 

Philbrook Creek be reduced to 0.8 cfs, 

with a 0.2 cfs buffer, for a total of 1 cfs. 

The licensee requests the variance 

due to exceptionally dry conditions and 

limited water availability in the project 

area. Additionally, the licensee states 

that the proposed variance would 

preserve cold water storage in Philbrook 

Reservoir, increase flow to Butte Creek 

via the Hendricks Canal, and decrease 

water residence time in the DeSabla 

Forebay, thus providing additional 

water to Butte Creek during the hot 

summer months to minimize high 

temperature effects to spring-run 

Chinook salmon, and to preserve water 

for release later in the summer months. 

The licensee would also provide 

monthly flow records to the resource 

agencies and notify them of any flow 

disruptions related to the variance. The 

licensee requests the variance until 

February 28, 2022 to protect spawning 

and redds, but may end the variance 

earlier if fall or winter rains bring 

precipitation to early spring-run 

Chinook salmon life stages, and in 

consultation with the project resource 

group. Due to the urgent nature of the 

variance request, Commission staff is 

approving the variance for a limited 

time (until August 12, 2021) until the 

public has an opportunity to review and 

comment on the licensee’s proposal. 

Following the close of the public notice 

period and consideration of any 

comments received, Commission staff 

will take action on the remaining 

timeline associated with the licensee’s 

request.
