+One-line Summary: Get hillslope_fsat_equals_zero .true. for use_hillslope
+
+Purpose and description of changes
+----------------------------------
+
+ hillslope_fsat_equals_zero was intended to be .true. for use_hillslope = .true. but was coming back false:
+ - First because of the lack of this line in CLMBuildNamelist.pm:
+   $nl_flags->{'use_hillslope'} = $nl->get_value('use_hillslope');
+ - And since ctsm5.4.040 due to the placement of said line in sub setup_logic_params_file, which is called after sub setup_logic_hillslope
+
+ Here I'm moving that line into sub setup_logic_hillslope, which fixes the problem without breaking anything else.
+
+Significant changes to scientifically-supported configurations
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Does this tag change answers significantly for any of the following physics configurations?
+(Details of any changes will be given in the "Answer changes" section below.)
+
+    [Put an [X] in the box for any configuration with significant answer changes.]
+
+[x] clm6_0 hillslope hydrology
+
+[ ] clm5_0
+
+[ ] ctsm5_0-nwp
+
+[ ] clm4_5
+
+
+Bugs fixed
+----------
+List of CTSM issues fixed (include CTSM Issue # and description) [one per line]:
+ Resolves #4030 Bug: hillslope_fsat_equals_zero is .false. when use_hillslope = .true.
+
+Notes of particular relevance for users
+---------------------------------------
+Changes made to namelist defaults (e.g., changed parameter values):
+ Now get the correct hillslope_fsat_equals_zero for use_hillslope = .true..
+
+Testing summary:
+----------------
+
+ [PASS means all tests PASS; OK means tests PASS other than expected fails.]
+
+  build-namelist tests (if CLMBuildNamelist.pm has changed):
+
+    derecho - OK (2 expected failures)
+
+  regular tests (aux_clm: https://github.com/ESCOMP/CTSM/wiki/System-Testing-Guide#pre-merge-system-testing):
+
+    derecho ----- OK
+    izumi ------- OK
+
+Answer changes
+--------------
+Changes answers relative to baseline: Yes
+
+  Summarize any changes to answers, i.e.,
+    - what code configurations: use_hillslope = .true.
+    - what platforms/compilers: all
+    - nature of change: larger than roundoff
+
+ No simulations have been run with the bug-fix, yet.
