[Project No. 2187-046]
Public Service Company of Colorado; Notice of Intent To Prepare
an Environmental Assessment
On April 3, 2025, the Public Service Company of Colorado (PSCo or
licensee) filed an application for a non-capacity amendment for the
Georgetown Project No. 2187. The project is located on South Clear
Creek in Georgetown and Clear Creek counties, Colorado. The project
occupies federal lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service.
The licensee is constructing a stream bypass pipeline to
temporarily divert up to 200 cubic feet per second (cfs) from South
Clear Creek around the Forebay Reservoir and Dam, ultimately
discharging just downstream of the dam. The bypass pipeline addresses
dam safety and water quality concerns and supports water management
efforts until the dam can be decommissioned. The required minimum flows
would continue to be released; however, the delivery method would
change. A Notice of Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, Motions to Intervene, and Protest was issued on July 8, 2025.
This notice identifies Commission staff's intention to prepare an
environmental assessment (EA) analyzing the proposed action. The
planned schedule for the completion of the EA is November 12, 2025.\1\
Revisions to the schedule may be made as appropriate. The EA will be
issued and made available for review by all interested parties. All
comments filed on the EA will be reviewed by staff and considered in
the Commission's final decision on the proceeding.
