[Project No. 2107-065]
Pacific Gas & 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 &
Electric's (licensee) application for a temporary variance from
required minimum flows under California State Water Resources Control
Board's section 401 Water Quality Certification condition 1 and U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Forest Service (Forest Service) 4(e)
condition 23 Part 1 of its project license and have prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the variance.\1\ The licensee
proposes to reduce flows released from Poe Dam so that instream flows
of the bypassed reach are maintained at least at 100 cubic feet per
second, from the time of variance approval through November 15, 2025.
The licensee states that this temporary reduction is necessary to
facilitate recoating the radial bypass gates and replacing the seals,
the gate hoist, and its controls. The project is located on the North
Fork Feather River upstream of Lake Oroville near the Town of Pulga, in
Butte County, California. It occupies federal land within the Plumas
National Forest, administered by the Forest Service.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ In accordance with the Council on Environmental Quality's
regulations, the unique identification number for documents relating
to this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1747814721.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential
environmental effects of the proposed temporary flow variance,
alternatives to the proposed action, and concludes that the proposed
variance, would not constitute a major federal action that would
significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
The EA may be viewed on the Commission's website at <a href="http://www.ferc.gov">http://www.ferc.gov</a> using the ``elibrary'' link. Enter the docket number (P-
