California Department of Water Resources Project No. 2100-180--California
NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
(August 23, 2017)
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC's) regulations, 18 Code of
Federal Regulations Part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed an application
filed by the California Department of Water Resources on May 17, 2017, and
supplemented June 16 and June 20, 2017, to permanently reroute three existing primary
transmission lines at the Feather River Project No. 2100 between the Hyatt Pumping-
Generating Plant and the Table Mountain Substation. The proposal would allow
California Department of Water Resources to continuously deliver electricity along a
different route away from repair activities at the project's damaged main spillway and
emergency spillway area. The Feather River Project is located on the Feather River in
Butte County, California.
Staff prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the application which
analyzes the potential environmental effects of approving the requested transmission line
modification. In the EA, staff concludes that such an approval, with specified
environmental protection measures, would not constitute a major federal action that
would significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
A copy of the EA is available for review at the Commission's Public Reference
Room or may it be viewed on the Commission's website at www.fere.gov using the
"eLibrary" link. Enter the docket number P-2100-180 in the docket number field to access
the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at
FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll-free at 1-866-208-3676, or for TTY, 202-502-8659.
For further information, contact Mr. John Aedo at (415) 369-3335 or by email at
