S. Fish and Wildlife Service. CHUTE CAMP DAM Following destruction of their American River Head Dam (Chute Camp Dam) by the floods of November, 1950, the Pacific Gas and Electric Com- pany applied for an amendment to its Federal Power Commission license to cover reconstruction of the dam at a slightly different location on the South Fork of the American River in El Dorado County. No specific flows for maintenance of fish life had ever been established for release below the old dam and the department and the Fish and Wildlife Service recommended that such releases be made. Negotiations followed field studies made in coopera- tion with P. G. & E. and a compromise settlement was made. The company agreed to release a minimum of 10 cubic second feet in the summer and 5 in the winter. An additional clause calling for reconsideration of these flows upon development of upstream water storage was also included in the amended license. FEATHER RIVER A 70-page report was prepared for the State Engi- neer on the fish, wildlife and recreational resources in relation to the reservoir to be created by construction of the Oroville Dam in order to have plans for recre- ational development ready when work starts. The report covered fisheries and \\ ildlife aspects of the reservoir on preproject and postproject bases and contained recommendations for fish and wildlife man- agement and recreational use of the reservoir area, including potential access, camping, boat launching and picnicking areas.
