DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 8377-030]
Isabella Partners; 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 Isabella
Partners' application for a capacity amendment of the Isabella
Hydroelectric Project No. 8377 and have prepared an Environmental
Assessment (EA) for the project.\1\ The licensee proposes to construct
and operate a new 5-megawatt (MW) generating unit which would be
located in a new 40-foot-by-45-foot concrete structure adjacent to the
existing powerhouse, resulting in an increase of the project's total
installed capacity from 12.8 MW to 17.8 MW. The Isabella Hydroelectric
Project located on the Kern River in Kern County, California at the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps)' Isabella Dam on lands
administered by the Corps.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The unique identification number for documents relating to
this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1725634364.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential
environmental effects of the proposed new generating unit, alternatives
to the proposed action, and concludes that the proposed capacity
amendment, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would
not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect
the quality of the human environment.
