to PG&E's letter indicating a lack of interest in finding a way to continue hydro operations by a third party after their license surrender. Our letter provides a FEREC mechanism to accomplish the anadromous fish restoration goals more effectively that the PG&E demolition alternative plan. PG&E initial letter rejecting any form of continued operation of the hydropower after their license is surrendered. This is answered in KC0348 above. Glen takes some strong exception to NOAA's dismissive comments. KC0342 NOAA/NMFS comments on the Davis Hydro's June 2008 Reconstruction Alternative. Davis Hydro went informally to NMFS and asked for informal comments and ideas on how we could work with NOAA and CGFG to build a facility that would restore anadromous fish to the area. These comments were returned and no cooperation has been received. The letter refers to previously filed comments that are available as document KC0044 below. CDFG comments were similar but supplied only on the telephone. When transcribed notes of that conversation were submitted to CDFG for review prior to publishing them, the comments were rejected and inhibited from public distribution without corrections. that the Reconstruction Alternative performs better than the Demolition Alternative.
The PG&E solution will negatively impact the fish in the South Cow relative to what they have agreed to in the "agreement". If is far poorer than the Davis Hydro Solution suggested above.
