  • 4.3-1 4.3 HYDROLOGY and WATER QUALITY This Section Describes Water Resources at Pacific Gas and Electric Company's Hydroelect
    4.3 Hydrology and Water Quality 4.3 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY 4.3.1 INTRODUCTION TO HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY This section describes water resources at Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s hydroelectric facilities and associated Watershed Lands in Northern and Central California, and addresses how utilization and management of the water resources for power production affects the physical environment and other beneficial uses. The section provides an overview of discretionary and non- discretionary factors affecting water use and management, including applicable regulatory constraints. The section then addresses the following for each asset: the location of the drainage basin, the flow of water through the different facilities, a general discussion of water quality, physical characteristics of Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s water conveyance systems and capacities, maximum powerhouse capacities, and considerations, including specific regulatory constraints, that affect the management of water for power production and other purposes. Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s hydroelectric facilities were built, for the most part, in the early and mid part of the 20th Century. The existing facilities and their operations are integrated into the water supply system for the State and can affect water quality in the surrounding watershed. 4.3.1.1 Water Use Water is used at Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s hydroelectric facilities primarily for the nonconsumptive purpose of generating electric power. Other uses include minor consumption at powerhouses and recreational facilities (e.g., for drinking water, sanitation, or maintenance activities), provision of recreational opportunities, sale or delivery to other parties, and fish and wildlife preservation and enhancement.
