[Project No. 1121-135]
Pacific Gas and Electric Company; 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 CFR part 380, Commission staff reviewed Pacific Gas and
Electric Company's (PG&E) application for an amendment to the license
of the Battle Creek Hydroelectric Project No. 1121 to support a new
Phase 2 of the Battle Creek Salmon and Steelhead Restoration Project
(Restoration Project) and have prepared an Environmental Assessment
(EA) for the proposed amendment.\1\ The Restoration Project is a
collaborative effort to restore fish habitat on Battle Creek and some
of its tributaries. The new Phase 2 amendment requires the removal of
the South Diversion Dam, Soap Creek Feeder Diversion Dam, Lower Ripley
Creek Feeder Diversion Dam, and Coleman Diversion Dam, but does not
include the tailrace connector tunnel from South Powerhouse to Inskip
Canal as originally proposed as part of the Restoration Project. The
project is located on Battle Creek, and North Fork and South Fork
Battle Creek in Shasta and Tehama counties, California. The project
occupies federal lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S.
Bureau of Land Management.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The unique identification number for documents relating to
this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1741169216.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential
environmental effects of not constructing the tailrace connector and
any changes that have occurred since it was originally evaluated in a
2005 Environmental Impact Statement, 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.
