FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION
Pacific Gas & Electric Company Project No. 2107-065
NOTICE OF INTENT TO PREPARE AN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
(June 12, 2025)
On October 24, 2024, and supplemented on May 9, 2025, and May 13, 2025,
Pacific Gas & Electric Company (licensee) filed an application for a temporary variance
from its minimum instream flow requirements under California State Water Resources
Control Board (California SWRCB)’s section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC)
condition 1 and U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service (Forest Service) 4(e)
condition 23 Part 1 for the Poe Project No. 2107. The project is located on the North
Fork Feather River in Butte County, California. The project occupies federal land within
the Plumas National Forest, managed by the Forest Service.
The licensee proposes to reduce flows released from Poe Dam so that instream
flows of the North Fork Feather River bypassed reach are 100 cubic feet per second (cfs)
from June 1, 2025 through November 15, 2025. The licensee states that this reduction is
necessary to facilitate recoating the radial bypass gates and replacing the seals, the gate
hoist, and its controls. The radial gate apparatus that normally releases regulated flows
into the Poe bypassed reach will be out of service during the repair. The variance would
affect approximately 8 miles of the North Fork Feather River, also known as the Poe
bypassed reach, until it joins Lake Oroville downstream.
The Commission issued a notice of application for filing, soliciting comments,
motions to intervene, and protests for this variance request on May 12, 2025. The public
comment period closed on June 11, 2025.
This notice identifies Commission staff’s intention to prepare an environmental
assessment (EA) under the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. §§4321 et seq)
for the project.1 Commission staff plans to issue an EA by June 20, 2025. Revisions to
the schedule may be made as appropriate.
1 The unique identification number for documents relating to this environmental
review is EAXX-019-20-000-1747814721.
