CHESTER — The final snowpack survey of the year took a bit more effort for the PG&E team at Lassen Volcanic National Park.
Stephens said Lassen Peak represents 3% of the Feather River watershed, and one of the stations measured 211 inches of snow, equivalent to 118 inches of water. “This has been done since the 1930s, this physical measurement. And they continue to do it so they have a consistent yardstick, so to speak,” said Moreno.
Aside from measuring snowpack for municipal water uses, PG&E will calculate how much hydroelectric power will be generated from water traveling through its power plants along the Feather River.
