DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2741-037]
Kings River Conservation District; Notice of Availability of
Environmental Assessment
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC)
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 380, Commission
staff reviewed Kings River Conservation District's application for an
amendment to the license of the Pine Flat Hydroelectric Project No.
2741 and have prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA). The licensee
proposes to add a fourth generating unit (Unit 4) to the project that
will utilize flows from the bypass system. The new Unit 4 would utilize
flows up to 375 cfs but would not increase the existing 8,000 cfs
maximum hydraulic capacity and would increase the generating capacity
of the project by 3.8%. Unit 4 would be constructed in a previously
disturbed area at the toe of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Pine
Flat Dam. The project is located on the Kings River in Fresno County,
California. The project is located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers'
Pine Flat Dam.
The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential
environmental effects of the proposed amendment to the licensee, and
concludes that the proposed amendment, with appropriate environmental
protective measures, would not constitute a major federal action that
would significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
