Southern California Edison is currently in the process of relicensing their Kern River #3 (KR3) hydroelectric project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). In support of that effort they have been conducting a Whitewater Boating Study for the last two paddling seasons. We’re amplifying SCE’s request for participation in their Flow Comparison Study for flows on the North Fork Kern below Fairview Dam. This survey will have you rank your flow preferences for each section within the project-affected reach and further instructions are available at the link below. Your participation can help to shape the future of flows on the North Fork Kern!

Flow Comparison Evaluation Form: Use the link below to access the flow comparison evaluation form. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KR3_Flow_Comparison_Eval

Thank you for participating in the flow comparison evaluation form. Your feedback is important, please encourage other boaters with direct knowledge of the North Fork Kern to participate in the study. The survey will be available online through August 16, 2024.

More information about the KR3 relicensing is available at SCE’s relicensing website at https://www.sce.com/regulatory/hydro-licensing/kr3.
