staff are not considered part of the Commission record.
The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all

documents with the Commission relating to the merits of an issue that
may affect the responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they

k. Description of Request: The applicant proposes to surrender the
project. No significant modifications to the existing dams, buildings,
or structures and no ground disturbing activities are proposed. The
applicant proposes to fill the forebay and penstock with sand, remove
all electrical equipment (cabinets) from the powerhouse, and close all
the gates to the gatehouse except for the 2-foot by 2-foot fill gate to
provide Aclara Meters' processing water (approximately 0.04-0.05 cubic
feet per second) into the canal. All other flow would continue to be
spilled over the spillway or through the bypass gate in the canal. The
project has been inoperable since 2011 due to a penstock failure.
