Petition to Change Water Right License 549 (Application 2754)

Pacific Gas and Electric Company has submitted a petition to the State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Water Rights, to modify Water Right License 549 under Application 2754. The primary objective of this action is to dedicate all licensed water to instream use within North Battle Creek in Shasta County, California. This modification is intended to enhance water flow downstream of the Wildcat Diversion Dam specifically for the benefit and preservation of fish and wildlife. The project is located in Shingletown, Shasta County, specifically within Section 27, T30N, R1W, MDB&M. Because the initiative involves only the dedication of licensed water and requires no construction, building, grading, or excavation, it has been granted a Notice of Exemption under Section 15308 for the Protection of the Environment. The State Water Resources Control Board serves as the lead and approving agency, with Michael Meza and Steve Marquez acting as key administrative contacts for the process.
