Temporary 200 cfs Stream Bypass
The licensee proposes a temporary stream bypass pipeline that could divert up to 200 cubic feet per second (cfs) from South Clear Creek around the Forebay Reservoir and Dam, discharging downstream. The bypass is intended to address dam safety and water quality, support water management until the dam can be decommissioned, and required minimum flows would continue but be delivered by a different method.
