Unfortunately, SFW&P have had some regulatory inspections scheduled for the beginning of the release schedule, so the start of the release has been delayed.
The updated schedule is here.

South Feather Water and Power reports today as follows:
| Quote: | Good morning Gentlemen,
After discussing the situation and logistics around the Bear Fire / North Complex Fire with SFWP management, we have decided to cancel the scheduled Little Grass Valley Reservoir (LGVR) draw down coming up at the end of this week. This is due to safety concerns to SFWP personnel accessing the area to increase flow, national forests being closed in the State of California, and the unknown condition of the SFWP assets and the river channel in that area. We whole heartedly apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
That being said we still need to draw down LGVR later this fall to have capacity available for winter inflows, but with the unknown condition of PG&E transmission lines in the area we do not know what those release will look like. I will keep you informed as the situation develops with asset conditions and regulatory agencies that will determine what those releases will look like. |

South Feather Water and Power reports today as follows:
| Quote: | We are currently in the process of increasing the downstream release at Little Grass Valley Reservoir and should reach aproximately 400 cfs by early afternoon. The agency will maintain this release for the foreseeable future to draw down the reservoir.
That being said the condition of the South Fork of the Feather River in between Little Grass Valley Dam and South Fork Diversion Dam is unknown. Our safety bouy lines at South Fork Diversion Dam were destroyed in the fire. The U.S. Forest Service is maintaining a closure of the Plumas fire the area of the North Complex Fire. |
