DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2997-031]
South Sutter Water District; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment
On July 1, 2019, South Sutter Water District (SSWD) filed an
application for a major, new license for the 6.8-megawatt Camp Far West
Hydroelectric Project No. 2997 (Camp Far West Project), which was
amended on December 28, 2023. The Camp Far West Project is located on
the Bear River in Yuba, Nevada, and Placer Counties, California. No
Federal or Tribal lands occur within or adjacent to the project
boundary or along the Bear River downstream of the project.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on September 5,
2024, Commission staff issued a notice that the project was ready for
environmental analysis (REA Notice). Based on the information in the
record, including comments filed in response to the REA Notice, staff
does not anticipate that licensing the project would constitute a major
Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment. Therefore, staff intends to prepare a draft and final
Environmental Assessment (EA) on the application to relicense the Camp
Far West Project.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ In accordance with the Council on Environmental Quality's
regulations, the unique identification number for documents relating
to this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1732280168. 40 CFR
1501.5(c)(4) (2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EA will be issued and circulated for review by all interested
parties. All comments filed on the EA will be analyzed by staff and
considered in the Commission's final licensing decision.
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, access
publicly available information and navigate Commission processes. For
public inquiries and assistance with making filings such as
interventions, comments, or requests for rehearing, the public is
encouraged to contact OPP at (202) 502-6595 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#7b342b2b3b1d1e0918551c140d"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="8ac5dadacaeceff8e9a4ede5fc">[email protected]</span></a>.
The application will be processed according to the following
schedule. Revisions to the schedule may be made as appropriate.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Please note, this notice and the schedule herein, supersedes
the Notice of Intent to Prepare an EA issued by staff on August 5,
2021.
\3\ The Council on Environmental Quality's (CEQ) regulations
under 40 CFR 1501.10(b)(1) require that EAs be completed within 1
year of the Federal action agency's decision to prepare an EA. See
National Environmental Policy Act, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., as
amended by section 107(g)(1)(B)(iii) of the Fiscal Responsibility
Act of 2023, Public Law 118-5, 4336a, 137 Stat. 42.
