[Project No. 137-221]
Pacific Gas and Electric Company; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment
On November 15, 2023, the Pacific Gas and Electric Company
(licensee) filed an application for a non-capacity amendment at the
Tiger Creek regulator dam of the Mokelumne River Hydroelectric Project
No. 137. The dam is located on Tiger Creek in Amador County,
California.
The licensee proposes to construct a new 240-foot-long, 40-foot-
wide concrete spillway and plunge pool at the right abutment of the
Tiger Creek regulator dam. As part of the proposal, the licensee would
construct a spoil area, and a temporary and permanent access road at
the dam site which would be closed to the public during construction.
The licensee also intends to develop a staging and spoils area on
Doakes Ridge approximately 0.7 miles
[[Page 85530]]
southwest of the dam site and place a staging area and concrete batch
plant on state route 88 in Pioneer, California. State route 88 and
Tiger Creek Road between Pioneer and the dam site would be used as a
haul route. The existing spillway would be abandoned in place. The
licensee expects construction to take approximately 2 years.
On July 26, 2024, the Commission issued a public notice for the
proposed amendment. On August 2, August 5, and August 20, 2024, the
California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the California State Water
Resources Control Board, and the U.S. Department of the Interior filed
notices of intervention, respectively.
This notice identifies Commission staff's intention to prepare an
environmental assessment (EA) for the project.\1\ The planned schedule
for the completion of the EA is June 18, 2025. Revisions to the
schedule may be made as appropriate. The EA will be issued and made
available for review by all interested parties during a 30-day public
comment period. All comments filed on the EA will be reviewed by staff
and considered in the Commission's final decision on the proceeding.
