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.
