[Docket Nos. 2299-040 and -042]
Turlock and Modesto Irrigation Districts; Notice of Application
to Amend License
September 9, 1998.
By letter dated March 6, 1998, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(Corps) requested the Commission modify article 38 of the license for
the Don Pedro Project, No. 2299. Consultation among the Turlock and
Modesto Irrigation Districts (licensees) and the Corps resulted in a
joint request, filed on August 14, 1998, to amend subparagraph (a) of
article 38. The licensee requests the paragraph be amended to read:
Article 38(a). Flows below La Grange bridge may be altered by
the licensees at any time in connection with the operation of the
project for flood control purposes or other emergencies provided
that, if such flood control operations are required, flows shall be
made to meet the requirements of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's
approved Water Control Plan, Water (Flood) Control Diagram, and
Emergency Spillway Release Diagram or an approved deviation from
these documents. The licensees shall take reasonable measures to
insure that releases from the project do not cause the flow in the
Tuolumne River at the Modesto gage to below Dry Creek to exceed
9,000 cfs unless otherwise agreed to by the Corps of Engineers.
After flood control criteria within the reservoir have been met, the
licensees shall reduce the releases from the project as soon as it
is reasonably practicable.
Please submit any comments on the request within 30 days from the
date of this notice. Any comments, conclusions, or recommendations that
draw upon studies, reports, or other working papers of substance should
be supported by appropriate documentation. Please affix Project No.
2299-042 on all filings.
