Petition to Change Water Right License 2611 (Application 9114)

The Forest Service has submitted a petition to the State Water Resources Control Board Division of Water Rights to modify Water Right License 2611, also known as Application 9114. The primary objective of this change is to remove domestic use from the license and instead dedicate the water to fish and wildlife preservation and enhancement through instream flow downstream of the licensed point of diversion. This project is located at the Blue Canyon Ranger Station Spring near Blue Canyon in Placer County, California. The project is classified as a forecast with a NAICS code of 541620 and is managed by the SWRCB Division of Water Rights. A Notice of Exemption was filed on June 26, 2026, under Section 15308 for the protection of the environment, as the modification involves the dedication of water for instream flow and requires no construction, building, grading, or excavation. Key points of contact include Michael Meza of the SWRCB and Forest Supervisor Jason Jimenez of the USDA.
