Purpose All dams pose some level of risk to public safety, regardless of size or impoundment. The recreational opportunities provided by dams naturally attract the public. Therefore, the use of sound judgement with respect to public safety is necessary to keep the public safe on the South Feather Power Project (Project). Public safety measures are necessary to eliminate, limit, or mitigate the public’s exposure to hazards created by a hydropower facility and its operations. This Public Safety Plan (PSP) outlines the strategy that SFWPA will employ to implement such measures to minimize, if not eliminate, known public safety hazards associated with the assets, operations, surrounding areas, and recreational facilities located within the Project. 2. Regulatory Requirements Section 10(c) of the Federal Power Act (16 USC §§ 791a-825r) authorizes the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) to establish regulations requiring owners of hydroelectric projects under its jurisdiction to operate and properly maintain such projects for the protection of life, health, and property. Part 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) issued January 21, 1981 (Order No. 122), delegates the FERC Regional Engineer the authority to require safety devices, where necessary. Section 12.52 of the Regulations provides, “To the satisfaction of, and within a time specified by the Regional Engineer, an applicant or licensee must install, operate, and maintain any signs, lights, sirens, barriers, or other safety devices that may reasonably be necessary or desirable to warn the public of fluctuations in flow from the project or otherwise to protect the public in the use of the project lands and waters”. The Director, Division of Dam Safety and Inspections, the Regional Engineers, and other Commission authorized representatives also have broad general authority under Section 12.4 of the regulations to require modifications or changes in project works or operation, including installation of safety devices. The approval of existing safety devices, and the maintenance or removal of any safety devices, is addressed in a letter from FERC to all licensees on August 2, 1991. SFWPA must adequately maintain such devices or measures in the operation of their Project. Failure to do so would constitute a violation of the Commission's regulations and could subject SFWPA to the enforcement provisions of the Federal Power Act. 3. Objectives This PSP provides guidance on the proper use and maintenance of physical barriers, signage, incident reporting procedures and analysis, and public awareness programs used to warn and restrict the public from potential hazards associated with the Project lands and waters. Document Accession #: 20250923-5006 Filed Date: 09/23/2025 2 The objectives of the PSP are to: • Address potential hazards to the public and the use of appropriate public safety measures identified through a public safety risk assessment (PSRA) • Identify and assign SFWPA roles and responsibilities necessary to implement and maintain a public safety program for the South Feather Power Project; and • Prescribe a process and approach for investigating and reporting public safety incidents at the South Feather Power Project 4. Scope This plan applies to all reservoirs, dams, conduits, powerhouses, and their appurtenant facilities located within the Southern Feather Power Project. This plan also includes Lake Wyandotte, which is not a FERC licensed project. 4.1. Project Description The South Feather Power Project (Project) is located in northern California in Butte, Plumas, and Yuba Counties on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada. A portion of the Project is situated on federal land managed by the United States Forest Service as part of the Plumas National Forest, and a portion is located on federal land managed by the United State Bureau of Land Management. Project assets are located on the South Fork of the Feather River, on Lost Creek, a tributary to the South Fork Feather River, and on Slate Creek, a tributary to the North Fork Yuba River. Elevations of Project facilities range from 5,050 feet above sea level at Little Grass Valley Dam to 225 feet above sea level at Kelly Ridge Powerhouse. SFWPA operates the Project under FERC License No. 2088. The Project is comprised of the Sly Creek Development (2088-04, 2088-05, 2088-06, and 2088-07), Woodleaf Development (2088-03), Forbestown Development (2088-02), and Kelly Ridge Development (2088-01 and 2088-08) and encompasses a total of eight dams, seven tunnels, four powerhouses, and 21 miles of canals and conduits spread across 82 square miles. The Sly Creek Development consists of Little Grass Valley Dam (embankment) and its appurtenant structures, Slate Creek Diversion Dam (concrete arch), South Fork Diversion Dam (concrete arch), Sly Creek Dam (embankment), and Sly Creek Powerhouse. The Woodleaf Development consists of Lost Creek Dam (concrete arch) and its appurtenant structures, and the Woodleaf Penstock and Powerhouse. The Forbestown Development consists of Forbestown Diversion Dam (concrete arch) and Forbestown Penstock and Powerhouse. The Kelly Ridge Development consists of Ponderosa Diversion Dam (embankment) and its appurtenant structures, Miners Ranch Canal, Miners Ranch Dam (embankment), Kelly Ridge Power Canal, Penstock, Tunnel, and Pipeline, and Kelly Ridge Powerhouse. Document Accession #: 20250923-5006 Filed Date: 09/23/2025 3 A ninth dam, Lake Wyandotte Dam (CA00267), is a non-FERC dam under the jurisdiction of the Department of Water Resources (DWR) Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD). Lake Wyandotte is a small reservoir constructed in 1923 by the Agency to supply domestic and irrigation supplies. However, after the Clean Water Act was passed in 1975, Lake Wyandotte ceased to be used for domestic purposes. There are less than two dozen customers receiving irrigation water from the reservoir. The reservoir continues to be used by the public for fishing and boating recreation and is therefore included in the scope of this PSP. 5. Approval We, the undersigned, on this date acknowledge the Public Safety Plan as an integral part of emergency preparedness and procedures. We understand the plan and accept our roles and responsibilities as described herein. We understand that this plan requires updating as directed by corporate and regulatory policy. Signatures and dates on this approval page will be revised when major changes are made in the document or scope of the program and on an annual basis. ______________________________ ___________ Regulatory Compliance Manager Date ______________________________ ___________ General Manager Date 6. Roles and Responsibilities The following personnel have designated public safety responsibilities. Position Routine Responsibilities Regulatory Compliance Manager • Maintains the Public Safety Plan and associated schematics, including annual revisions and submittals to the Commission as required. • Purchases additional signs, warning devices, and barriers as needed. • years. • Reviews PSRA annually and when a public safety incident occurs. • Ensures personnel are trained and understand their responsibilities related to the Public Safety Plan. • Ensures Project compliance with the Public Safety Plan. • Power Division Manager • Provides monthly safety topics to SFWPA employees. Maintenance Foreman • Ensures that the intent of the Public Safety Plan is carried out. • Ensures necessary to support the maintenance devices, and programs prescribed within is followed by all SFWPA employees. Document Accession #: 20250923-5006 Filed Date: 09/23/2025 4 Position Routine Responsibilities All SFWPA Employees • Maintain an awareness of the measures and procedures prescribed in this plan. • Report any compromised, damaged, or missing public safety measure or features. • Report any observed occurrence of a public safety hazard within and surrounding the site and associated recreational areas. • 6.1. Plan Maintenance In accordance with the Commission’s Annual Reminder of Responsibilities and the Commission’s Guidelines for Public Safety at Hydropower Projects (March 1992), revisions to the PSP will be e-filed with FERC by the Regulatory Compliance Manager as they occur and at least every ten years. The Regulatory Compliance Manager is responsible for reviewing, updating, and maintaining the documents associated with the Public Safety Program. At a minimum, the PSP and PSRA for the South Feather Power Project and associated recreational sites will be reviewed annually. 7. Public Safety Risk Assessments Dam owners and operators are responsible for reducing the risk of failures and incidents caused at or around their dams. Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Emergency Operational Planning Dam Incident Planning Guide defines a dam incident as an emergency that threatens the integrity of the dam or its components and could result in an increased risk to nearby populations. An incident includes operational releases from the dam (e.g., principal spillway, emergency/auxiliary spillway) that can result in flooded roads, homes, or businesses. Public Safety Risk Assessments (PSRAs) are qualitative field assessments of potential risks to public safety conducted to identify the hazards that need to be addressed in the Public Safety Plan for a project site. As part of the cyclical process associated with management of the public safety plan, routine review of the hazards and the measures taken to safe guard the public are to be undertaken on a routine basis. The Regulatory Compliance Manager is responsible for reviewing the PSRA Report for the South Feather Power Project on an annual basis and when a public safety incident occurs. A PSRA of the South Feather Power Project and recreational facilities will be conducted once every three years to identify any new or additional potential public safety hazards. New hazards may form for a variety of reasons including, but not necessarily limited to, changes in public use and access to the facility, changes in operation of the facility, or changes to existing public safety mitigation measures. In addition to identifying potential public safety hazards, these field assessments include a review of the condition and adequacy of existing public safety mitigation measures. As Document Accession #: 20250923-5006 Filed Date: 09/23/2025 5 a result, it is advisable that PSRAs be conducted in concurrence with preventative maintenance program requirements. All PSRAs will be conducted by competent staff or contractors, who have the necessary knowledge, experience and training to recognize and adequately address potential public safety hazards. 7.1. Summary of Most Recent SFWPA PSRA SFWPA conducted a public safety risk assessment on July 18, 2024. The PSRA was conducted utilizing the CDA’s Guidelines for Public Safety Around Dams (2011) and FEMA’s Dam Safety Warning Signs Best Practices (2021). It is SFWPA’s responsibility to manage the Project’s risk and to assess and prioritize those risks. As a result of the July 18, 2024 PSRA, SFWPA developed a standard for what is considered a high, medium, or low risk based on SFWPA’s risk tolerance, regulatory environment, and public value. The boundary for each of these three action levels will be assessed and evaluated every three years as new research and policies are released. SFWPA 2024 Risk Boundaries The risk ratings for the Project’s assets and results of the July 18, 2024 public safety risk assessment are included in Appendix B. 8. Risk Treatment and Mitigation Once potential hazards and associated risk have been identified, it is important to take measures to reduce risk to the public through risk treatment and mitigation practices. Risk treatment can take the form of:  Eliminating the hazard where practical, as the most effective means of risk reduction.  Mitigating the hazard where practical, by altering operations.  Controlling exposure/access to the hazard by installing physical control measures to warn or deter access by the public to hazardous zones. Document Accession #: 20250923-5006 Filed Date: 09/23/2025 6  Educating the public of the hazards associated with the operation of dams and generating stations.  Preparing for emergency response by posting 24/7 emergency contact phone numbers at and around the dam facility. 8.1. Public Safety Control Measures All dams require some type of safety devices, warning systems, or other measures. The amount of protection necessary increases as public exposure to the hazards increases. Safety devices and measures can be divided into five basic categories: 1. Educating and informing the public 2. Visual and audible warnings of hazardous areas 3. Physical restraining devices 4. Escape devices 5. Procedures for safer operations The requirements for specific safety devices at each dam will be determined on a case- by-case basis. 8.2. Public Safety Outreach and Education A key component in managing public safety is engaging the public in understanding the hazards associated with the Project. SFWPA strives to make the general public aware of the hazards associated with its dams by working cooperatively with the United States Forest Service (USFS) to ensure proper signage regarding water safety is posted at public campgrounds and recreation areas. SFWPA also participates in National Dam Safety Awareness Day annually in order to raise awareness of risks associated with recreating around dams. The comprehensive informational booklet created by FEMA “Living With Dams: Know Your Risk” is also provided on SFWPA’s public website. SFWPA developed a Public Safety Outreach Program that includes an informational brochure, additional messaging, and outreach events intended to further educate the public. The Public Safety Outreach Program and its attachments are included as Appendix C. 8.2.1. Public Safety Stakeholders Contact information for key public safety stakeholders is provided below.

Visual Warnings Physical public safety measures are used to control the public’s exposure to potential hazards through the use of warning systems such as signage, sirens, and warning lights. Warning measures are necessary to warn of hazardous spillways, powerhouse intake areas, tailraces, and other hazardous areas and conditions. 8.3.1. Signage Signage is one of the primary means of informing the public of hazards around SFWPA’s hydroelectric facilities. SFWPA has danger and warning signs properly located and spaced throughout the Project to prevent persons from entering potentially hazardous areas. All applicable public safety signs have been inventoried and identified in the site-specific public safety photographs and schematics included as Appendices A and B. 8.3.2. Lights SFWPA utilizes lights to illuminate signs, infrastructure, and hazardous areas. An inventory of lighting at the Project has been included in the site-specific public safety photographs and schematics included as Appendices A and B. Hazards to the public are also mitigated by restricting public access to potentially dangerous areas through the use of physical safety measures, including fences, railings, guard rails, safety booms, and buoys/barriers. Document Accession #: 20250923-5006 Filed Date: 09/23/2025 8 8.3.3. Safety Booms and Barriers Safety booms/log booms and boat buoys/barriers act as physical barriers to delineate a dangerous water area. Safety booms and buoys are located at the Project’s spillways, upstream of gates, at intake entrances, tailraces, and upstream of powerhouse intakes. The Project’s safety booms and barriers are identified within the site-specific public safety photographs and schematics included as Appendices A and B. 8.3.4. Fences and Barricades Fencing and barricades are used throughout the Project to control access and provide effective barriers where there is a risk of a vertical fall, to prevent vandalism and unauthorized access to flow equipment, along steep banks, and where other control measures are not effective to deter access by the public. Fences and barricades located at the Project’s developments are detailed within the site- specific public safety photographs and schematics included as Appendices A and B. 8.4. Escape Devices Escape devices include such items as life preservers, safety ropes, escape nets, escape ladders and suspended cables. These items provide a means of escape for persons who are otherwise unable to get out of hazardous waters. Escape devices located at the Project are included in the site-specific public safety photographs and schematics included as Appendices A and B. 8.5. Project Operating Procedures SFWPA is in the process of developing standard operating procedures for Project operations that involve variations in water flows and levels. 9. Inspection and Maintenance of Public Safety Measures 9.1. Inspection and Maintenance Control measures at the Project are inspected at least annually and during routine patrols. Inspections are recorded in the “Annual PM” folder on the server for each station. If an unmitigated hazardous condition or defective control measure is encountered, personnel will promptly notify the Regulatory Compliance Manager and Maintenance Foreman, who will ensure the condition or measure is remedied and will notify the Commission if necessary. All safety measures identified as needing repair will be remedied as quickly as possible. 9.2. Public Safety Measure Removal, Loss, or Damage Notification Pursuant to the Commission’s Annual Reminder of Responsibilities, section 23, for non- periodic installation/removal of public safety measures, at least ten days in advance of Document Accession #: 20250923-5006 Filed Date: 09/23/2025 9 removing a public safety measure at the Project, or within ten days of discovering a lost or damaged public safety measure, SFWPA is required to notify FERC that they will be removing a public safety measure or that a public safety measure has been lost or damaged. The notification to FERC will include the reason and proposed date for removal, and a schedule for reinstallation. SFWPA must also provide FERC with written notification no later than 10 days after reinstallation of the control measure. Based on the information submitted, FERC may require changes to SFWPA’s removal and reinstallation plan and may prescribe such additional safety measures as are deemed appropriate. For devices that are routinely removed or rendered inoperative on an annual basis, a one- time notification to FERC providing the reason for removal, and submission of a schedule for periodic removal and reinstallation is appropriate. During any period when an approved device is temporarily removed, SFWPA must develop such additional measures as are appropriate to properly notify and protect the public if there is any increased danger while the approved device is not in place. SFWPA’s notification to FERC must include a description of those additional measures. 9.3. Monitoring Effectiveness of Public Safety Measures The effectiveness of control measures and the maintenance program for such measures, must be monitored in order to provide assurance that the public is protected as planned. The effectiveness of control measures are reviewed whenever a public safety incident occurs, and at least every three years during the public safety risk assessment. 10. Public Safety Incidents A public safety incident is considered the potential or actual interaction between a member of the public and a hazard associated with a dam or its operations. All actual and potential safety incidents will be recorded and investigated as described in this section. 10.1. Internal Reporting 10.1.1. SFWPA Reporting Process SFWPA Project personnel are trained to report all public safety incidents or issues with public safety control measures to the Regulatory Compliance Manager, SFWPA Operations, or the Maintenance Foremen. The Regulatory Compliance Manager is responsible for investigating the reported incident, determining the severity of the injury, and performing the necessary level of reporting. Document Accession #: 20250923-5006 Filed Date: 09/23/2025 10 10.1.2. SFWPA Public Safety Incident Log SFWPA maintains a public safety incident log that documents actual occurrences of injury or death and near misses. Both types of incidents provide an opportunity for SFWPA to review the effectiveness of its existing control measures and the potential need for additional public safety measures. The public safety incident log records fatalities, injuries, strandings requiring rescue, trespassing or otherwise entering a dangerous area, and any failure of a control measure. The Regulatory Compliance Manager reviews the public safety incident log annually to determine if there is a systematic nature to the events which requires a modification, or if there is a pattern developing indicative of a change in use or in the degree of public interaction at a particular site. If a public safety incident involves serious injury, rescue, or death at the Project, then the Regulatory Compliance Manager will also report the incident to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) as explained below. 10.2. FERC Reporting Pursuant to 18 CFR §12.10, SFWPA is required to report to FERC any deaths, serious injuries, or rescues that occur at the Project or involve Project operations. 10.2.1. Initial Report - 18 CFR §12.10(b)(1) SFWPA is required to report to the Regional Engineer any drowning or other incident resulting in death, serious injury, or rescue that occurs at the Project works or involves Project operations. The initial report must be made promptly after the incident is discovered, which generally means within 72 hours, via telephone, and must include a description of the cause and location of the incident. The Regional Engineer may request SFWPA to provide an email summarizing the telephone conversation. 10.2.2. Written Report - 18 CFR §12.10(b)(2) Following the initial report, SFWPA must also submit a written report to FERC within the time specified by the Regional Engineer, which is typically within 10 days of the public safety incident. For any death, serious injury, or rescue that is considered or alleged to be Project-related, or occurs at the Project works, SFWPA must submit to the Regional Engineer a written report that describes any remedial actions taken or proposed to avoid or reduce the chance of similar occurrences in the future. Serious injuries and rescues that are not Project-related do not require a written report. For any death that is not Project-related, the applicant or licensee may report the death by providing a copy of an article from print or electronic media or a report from a law enforcement agency, if available. Document Accession #: 20250923-5006 Filed Date: 09/23/2025 11 10.2.2.1. Project Related According to 18 CFR §12.10(b)(3), project-related means any deaths, serious injuries, or rescues that: 1. Involve a project dam, spillway, intake, outlet works, tailrace, power canal, powerhouse, powerline, other water conveyance, or other appurtenances; 2. Involve changes in water levels or flows caused by generating units, project gates, or other flow regulating equipment; 3. Involve a SFWPA employee, contractor, or other person performing work at a licensed project facility and are related in whole or in part to the work being performed; or 4. Are otherwise attributable to project works and/or project operations. Per the Commission’s Annual Reminder of Responsibilities, deaths, serious injuries, or rescues that involve a licensee’s employee, contractor, or other person performing work at a licensed project facility and are related in whole or in part to the work being performed are considered project related and therefore must be reported to the Regional Engineer. All employee/contractor incidents that meet the above definition will be reported regardless of where they occur on Project lands and waters. This requirement is independent from any obligation the licensee has to report the incident to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. 10.2.2.2. Serious Injury Pursuant to 18 CFR §12.10(b)(4), serious injury means any injury that results in treatment at a medical facility or a response by SFWPA or another trained professional. At SFWPA, if a person breaks a bone or is transported by ambulance, it is considered a serious injury and requires an initial and written report if related to Project works. 10.2.2.3. Verification The written report must be verified (notarized) in accordance with 18 CFR §12.13. 18 CFR §12.13 provides: If a document submitted in accordance with the provisions of this part must be verified, the form of verification attached to the document must be the following: Document Accession #: 20250923-5006 Filed Date: 09/23/2025 12 11.

The tour should be led by qualified SFWPA staff who will educate students on the role and importance of dams, with a focus on dam safety and public safety. When feasible, schedule the field trip to coincide with National Dam Safety Awareness Day to enhance educational impact. Distribute FEMA’s “Dam Safety with Beaverly” activity book to students. National Dam Safety Awareness Day Messaging National Dam Safety Awareness Day is observed annually on May 31. It serves as an important reminder to dam owners to understand their roles and responsibilities to safeguard life and property ownership. Each year, utilize prepared messaging from FEMA, or develop your own messaging to spread dam safety awareness in your community. SFWPA can also use pictures and information from school field trips referenced above as a way to spread positive information on Dam Safety Awareness Day. The National Hydropower Association (NHA) and Northwest Hydroelectric Association (NWHA) typically provide pre-made templated and easy to use National Dam Safety Awareness Day messaging to its members each year.
