k. Description of Request: The licensee requests a temporary
variance of the minimum flow requirements at streamflow gage YB-292,
located in Mormon Ravine above Newcastle Powerhouse. Specifically, the
licensee requests that the instantaneous 5 cubic feet per second (cfs)
minimum flow requirement be reduced to 3 cfs from May 11 to October 15,
2015. During this time the licensee would also maintain a target flow
of 5 cfs, based on a 24-hour average flow at gage YB-292. The licensee
states that the variance is necessary due to reduced water deliveries
in the upstream canal system during the ongoing drought and the large
fluctuations caused by irregular water withdrawals in the canal system
made by other users.
l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street NE., Room 2A, Washington,
