emailed to Commission staff are not

The Commission’s Rules of Practice 

and Procedure require all intervenors 

filing documents with the Commission 

to serve a copy of that document on 

each person whose name appears on the 

official service list for the project. 

Further, if an intervenor files comments 

or documents with the Commission 

relating to the merits of an issue that 

may affect the responsibilities of a 

particular resource agency, they must 

also serve a copy of the document on 

that resource agency. 

k. Description of Request: The 

licensee requests approval to 

temporarily remove its ramping rate 

requirements under Article 33(d) to 

perform low level outlet gate testing at 

North Battle Creek Dam during the 

months with no minimum flow 

requirement (November–March). The 

licensee is required by the California 

Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD) to 

conduct the testing annually and in the 

presence of DSOD every three years. 

Temporary removal of its ramping rate 

requirements would allow the licensee 

to perform the testing in a significantly 

shorter amount of time than with 

ramping rate requirements in place. 

Accordingly, the licensee is requesting 

the temporary ramping rate variance 

from November 1, 2022 through March 

31, 2023 to allow sufficient time and 

flexibility for scheduling and 

conducting the test. The gate full travel 

test will result in approximately 40 

cubic feet per second entering North 

Fork Battle Creek and remain in the 

creek until it reaches Macumber 

Reservoir. No species of special concern 

are located in the reach directly below 

North Battle Creek Dam that would be 

affected by the testing. 

l. Locations of the Application: This 

filing may be viewed on the 

Commission’s website at http://

www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.
