k. Description of Request: Condition 3 of the Water Quality Certification, issued on November 9, 2020, by the California Water Resources Control Board (California Water Board) for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Order Compliance Project for Anderson Reservoir and Dam requires Valley Water to develop a Cross Valley Pipeline Extension and Coyote Creek Chillers Project Site-Specific Plan (Plan). The Plan, approved by the California Water Board, includes construction of: (1) an extension of the existing Cross Valley Pipeline that starts at the intersection of Hale Avenue and San Bruno Avenue and terminates at Coyote Creek, downstream of Ogier Ponds; and (2) chillers that will cool imported water that will be discharged from the current Cross Valley Pipeline discharge point into the Cold-Water Management Zone in Coyote Creek below Anderson Dam. Construction of the Cross Valley Pipeline extension includes dewatering several segments of pipeline, adding a new pipeline branch, and construction of an outfall structure on the bank of Coyote Creek. Since Commission staff analyzed and approved the chillers in the October 1, 2020 and February 2, 2021 Orders Approving, In Part, Reservoir Drawdown and Operations Plan, Valley Water has changed its proposed location for constructing and operating the chillers. Valley Water proposes to install and operate the chillers at the existing Coyote Pumping Plant (owned by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation) located at 18300 Peet Road, Morgan Hill, CA.
