Poe Dam: Temporary Flow Cut to 100 cfs
Pacific Gas & Electric will temporarily reduce releases from Poe Dam so flows in the bypassed reach stay at least 100 cubic feet per second. The change is to allow recoating the radial bypass gates and replacing seals, the gate hoist, and controls, and will run from approval through November 15, 2025 near Pulga in Butte County, California. Commission staff’s Environmental Assessment says the variance would not significantly affect the human environment.
