Petition to Change Water Right License 2611 (Application 9114)

The Forest Service has petitioned the State Water Resources Control Board to amend Water Right License 2611 by eliminating domestic use and establishing a dedicated instream flow for Fish and Wildlife Preservation and Enhancement downstream of the existing point of diversion in Placer County. This change reflects a shift in water priority from human consumption to ecological support, aiming to improve stream conditions and protect aquatic habitats. The petition, submitted under Application 9114, seeks to reallocate the water right to benefit natural resources, ensuring sustainable flow levels that support native species and ecosystem health. The petition was posted on June 29, 2026, and is being processed by the California State Water Resources Control Board’s Division of Water Rights. Key contacts include Michael Meza of the Division of Water Rights as the primary point of contact and Jason Jimenez, Forest Supervisor, representing the U.S. Forest Service. The action is focused solely on California, with no physical performance location specified beyond the general area of Placer County. There is no solicitation number or procurement type associated with this petition, as it is a regulatory request rather than a contracting opportunity.
