    k. Description of Request: Condition 3 of the Water Quality 
Certification, issued on November 9, 2020, by the California Water 
Resources Control Board (California Water Board) for the Federal Energy

and Dam requires Valley Water to develop a Cross Valley Pipeline 
Extension and Coyote Creek Chillers Project Site-Specific Plan (Plan). 
The Plan, approved by the California Water Board, includes construction 
of: (1) an extension of the existing Cross Valley Pipeline that starts 
at the intersection of Hale Avenue and San Bruno Avenue and terminates 
at Coyote Creek, downstream of Ogier Ponds; and (2) chillers that will 
cool imported water that will be discharged from the current Cross 
Valley Pipeline discharge point into the Cold-Water Management Zone in 
Coyote Creek below Anderson Dam. Construction of the Cross Valley 
Pipeline extension includes dewatering several segments of pipeline, 
adding a new pipeline branch, and construction of an outfall structure 
on the bank of Coyote Creek. Since Commission staff analyzed and 
approved the chillers in the October 1, 2020 and February 2, 2021 
Orders Approving, In Part, Reservoir Drawdown and Operations Plan, 
Valley Water has changed its proposed location for constructing and 
operating the chillers. Valley Water proposes to install and operate 
the chillers at the existing Coyote Pumping Plant (owned by the U.S. 
Bureau of Reclamation) located at 18300 Peet Road, Morgan Hill, CA.
