DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2153-066]
United Water Conservation District; Notice of Intent To Prepare
an Environmental Assessment
On May 26, 2020, as supplemented on September 7, 2021, February 2,
2022, September 8, 2022, and January 3, 2024, United Water Conservation
District (UWCD) filed a non-capacity amendment application for the
Santa Felicia Project No. 2153 (project). The project is located on
Piru Creek in Ventura County, California. The project occupies federal
lands administered by the U.S. Forest Service.
The purpose of the amendment application is to implement the Santa
Felicia Dam Safety Improvement Project. The Dam Safety Project proposes
to replace the existing outlet works and modify the existing spillway
and dam to address the potential for failure under seismic loading
conditions and increase the conveyance capacity to sufficiently pass
the inflow design flood. On June 1, 2020, the Commission issued a
public notice of UWCD's request for a license amendment soliciting
comments, motions to intervene, and protests. No comments, motions to
intervene, or protests were received.
This notice identifies Commission staff's intention to prepare an
[[Page 23010]]
environmental assessment (EA) for the project and the planned schedule
for the completion of the environmental review. The target date for
staff to issue the EA is July 2024.\1\ Revisions to the schedule may be
made as appropriate. The EA will be issued and made available for
review by all interested parties and all comments filed on the EA will
be analyzed by staff and considered in the Commission's final decision
on the proceeding.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 42 U.S.C. 4336a(g)(1)(B) requires lead federal agencies to
complete EAs within 1 year of the agency's decision to prepare an
EA. This notice establishes the Commission's intent to prepare an EA
for the project; therefore, the EA must be issued within 1 year of
the issuance date of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
With this notice, the Commission is inviting federal, state, local,
and Tribal agencies with jurisdiction and/or special expertise with
respect to environmental issues affected by the proposal to cooperate
in the preparation of the EA planned to be issued July 2024. Agencies
wishing to cooperate, or further discuss the benefits,
responsibilities, and obligations of the cooperating agency role,
should contact staff listed at the bottom of this notice by April 18,
2024. Cooperating agencies should note the Commission's policy that
agencies that cooperate in the preparation of any environmental
document cannot also intervene. See 94 FERC ] 61,076 (2001).
The Commission's Office of Public Participation (OPP) supports
meaningful public engagement and participation in Commission
proceedings. OPP can help members of the public, including landowners,
environmental justice communities, Tribal members and others to access
publicly available information and navigate Commission processes. For
public inquiries and assistance with making filings such as
