Notice
Summary
Pacific Gas & Electric wants to fix the Lower Feeley Lake Dam by restoring its original height and protecting its slope. To do this, they need permission to temporarily reduce water flow from June to November 2025. This affects local communities near the South Yuba and Bear Rivers and could change river conditions for a few months while the work happens.

Temporary Lower River Flows for Dam Work
If you live near the South Yuba or Bear Rivers (Auburn, Colfax, Grass Valley, Nevada City), PG&E is asking to lower flows released from the Lower Feeley Dam from a 0.5 cubic-feet-per-second (cfs) target to a 0.4 cfs target, and to lower the allowable minimum flow from 0.2 cfs to 0.1 cfs. The change would happen from June 1, 2025 until November 30, 2025 while the dam crest is restored and the upstream slope is protected, and it could change river conditions for a few months.
