California Department of Water Resources & Los Angeles Department 
of Water and Power; Notice of Revised Procedural Schedule for an 
Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Project Relicense

    On January 30, 2020, the California Department of Water Resources 
and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (co-licensees) filed 
an application for a new license to continue to operate and maintain 
the 1,350-megawatt South SWP Hydroelectric Project No. 2426 (South SWP 
Project). On April 30, 2025, Commission staff (staff) issued a notice 
of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) to 
evaluate the effects of relicensing the South SWP Project. The notice 
included an anticipated schedule for issuing a Draft EIS in August 2025 
and the Final EIS by March 31, 2026.
    Staff are still evaluating the effects of relicensing the South SWP 
Project. In order for staff to fully consider all the information filed 
by the co-licensees, the procedural schedule for completing the Draft 
and Final EIS is being revised as follows. Further revisions to the 
schedule may be made as appropriate.
