Fall Creek decommissioned and conveyed to Yreka
PacifiCorp proposes to decommission the Fall Creek Development (filed August 22, 2025) and convey the decommissioned infrastructure and associated lands to the City of Yreka, California for the City's water supply. The filing says the action would cease power generation at Fall Creek, leave infrastructure in place to maintain the City’s water supply and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's hatchery operations, and that no construction or ground-disturbing activities are proposed.
