Document Description
DWR has requested an amendment to its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) license for the California Aqueduct Project (Project No. 2426) to operate Pyramid Dam to stimulate the natural hydrology of middle Piru Creek. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to avoid the "incidental take" of the federally listed endangered arroyo toad. Stimulation of the natural hydrology involves managing inflow and outflow through Pyramid Lake into middle Piru Creek up to the max. safe design release for Pyramid Dam. The State Water Board is issuing a revised water quality certification in response to a petition for reconsideration.
