RE: Bucks Creek Hydroelectric Project, FERC No. 619-CA
Authorization Request for Grizzly Forebay Recreation Improvements
Dear Frank L. Blackett:
This letter presents an application to construct recreation improvements at Grizzly
Forebay, which is part of Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (PG&E) Bucks Creek
Hydroelectric Project, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) No. 619. FERC
issued a new license for the Bucks Creek Project on June 16, 2022. State Water
Resources Control Board (SWRCB) 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) Condition
21 and U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service’s (Forest Service) section 4(e)
Condition No. 55 require the licensees implement the Bucks Creek Recreation
Management Plan (RMP).
Table 3.1-1 of the RMP identifies the following recreation improvements at Grizzly
Forebay in license year 1 (2023):
Facility Activity
Grizzly Forebay Campground
- Perform Trail Maintenance
- Install Wildlife Resistant
Food Lockers
- Fuel Treatment
Grizzly Forebay Gauging Station Trail - Perform Trail Maintenance
Due to significant precipitation and unprecedented snowpack in 2022/2023, access to
the Bucks Creek project was restricted until early June which delayed site condition
assessments and planning. Due to these constraints, PG&E was only able to implement
the following RMP year 1 activities:
• Grizzly Forebay Campground: Perform Trail Maintenance and Fuel Treatment
• Grizzly Forebay Gauging Station Trail: Perform Trail Maintenance
PG&E sought approval from the Forest Service to complete the remainder of the year 1
work (Install Wildlife Resistant Food Lockers) by December 31, 2024, in an email dated
May 19, 2023. The Forest Service provided a concurrence email on June 30, 2023 . This
was filed with FERC on May 8, 2024.

In addition to installation of the wildlife resistant food lockers, PG&E is taking advantage
of the facility closure and accelerating the RMP implementation schedule to complete
the following recreation improvements at Grizzly Forebay (originally required in license
year 3 - 2026):
Facility Activity
Grizzly Forebay Recreation Area - Replace restroom
- Install signage
The wildlife resistant food lockers and bathroom installation are prefabricated with a
standard design; therefore PG&E did not have the typical 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100%
design stages. The 100% design package was provided to the Forest Service on June
25, 2024.
A Project Description, including 100% design drawings, is provided in Enclosure 1. A
Quality Control Inspection Program is included as Enclosure 2. Documentation of
initiating Forest Service consultation is provided as Enclosure 3.
This project is scheduled for construction from October 1, 2024 through November 15,
2024. Dates are subject to change due to weather, resource availability, and emergent
projects in the area.
For general questions, please contact Jamie Visinoni, senior license coordinator for
PG&E, at (530) 215-6676.

A. BACKGROUND
1. FACILITY DESCRIPTION
Grizzly Forebay Dam is a part of PG&E's Bucks Creek hydroelectric system (FERC Project No.
619-CA) in the northern Sierra Nevada. Grizzly Forebay Dam is on Grizzly Creek, a tributary of
the North Fork of the Feather River, in Plumas County, about 17 miles west of Quincy, California,
as shown on Figure 1. The primary purpose of the project is hydropower generation. The reservoir
serves as the forebay for the Bucks Creek Powerhouse and afterbay for the Grizzly Powerhouse.
In addition to the dam and spillway, facilities included as part of the Bucks Hydroelectric Project
include a power tunnel and two penstocks which convey water to the Bucks Creek Powerhouse.
Grizzly Forebay Recreation area is a parking area with 12 single-vehicle parking spaces (including
1 accessible space), 1 single‐unit vault restroom and a boat launch. The recreation facility is located
approximately 30 miles northeast of Oroville. The campground is classified as a Forest Service
Development Scale 2 campground and within United States Forest Service (USFS) land.
See Figure 1 for Project Location.
2. DIRECTIONS
From Hwy 70 near Oroville take CA-162 E/Oro Dam Blvd E exit and follow CA-162 E for 1.2
miles. Turn right onto CA-162 E/Olive Hwy, continue onto Oroville Quincy Hwy/Spanish Ranch
County Rd for about 54 miles. Turn left onto PNF 36 Rd and continue approximately 5.2 miles.
Stay right at the fork and continue for 4 miles. Turn left and continue for approximately 1 mile to
the Grizzly Forebay Recreation area parking lot.
3. LAND USE
The proposed improvements would be implemented within the existing Bucks Creek Project
boundary on possessory parcels of the licensee (SBE Parcels 113-32-012-1 and 113-32-011-1).
The Bucks Creek Recreation Management Plan identifies three recreation facilities at the Grizzly
Forebay based on the associated activity: Grizzly Forebay Gaging Station Trail, Grizzly Forebay
Recreation Area, and Grizzly Forebay Campground. Recent measures implemented at Grizzly
Forebay under the Recreation Management Plan include trail maintenance (Grizzly Forebay
Gaging Station Trail and Grizzly Forebay Campground) and wildfire fuels treatment (Grizzly
Forebay Campground). The current measures would take place in the Grizzly Forebay Recreation
Area and Grizzly Forebay Campground as follows:
• Grizzly Forebay Recreation Area
− Replace Restroom (Including ORAR)
Document Accession #: 20240626-5116 Filed Date: 06/26/2024
− Install Signage
• Grizzly Forebay Campground
− Install Wildlife Resistant Food Storage Lockers
Access to the Grizzly Forebay Recreation Area and the Grizzly Forebay Campground is by way
of the existing Grizzly Forebay Access Road (Road 16B in the Plumas Forest/PG&E Road
Maintenance Agreement). The Grizzly Forebay Campground may also be accessed by way of the
existing Grizzly Powerhouse Access Road (Road 21B in the Plumas Forest/PG&E Road
Maintenance Agreement). The Grizzly Powerhouse Access Road is equipped with a gate that is
normally locked for safety and security purposes. A temporary gate on the Grizzly Forebay Access
Road is proposed during construction activities.
No new staging areas or access routes will be required, and no facility expansion is proposed.
Some staging is likely to occur at the existing Laydown Area 3 south of Haskins Bay. This is an
existing staging/LZ area on licensee-owned land within the existing p-619 license boundary.
4. PURPOSE AND NEED
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued a new license for the Bucks Creek
Hydroelectric Project (FERC 619) on June 16, 2022. As part of the new license, PG&E must
complete recreational enhancements to meet license conditions that incorporate State of
California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) 401 Water Quality Certification
(WQC) Conditions and United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service (Forest
Service)4(e) Conditions. A Recreation Management Plan (RMP) with a date of October 2019
was submitted in support of the Bucks Creek Hydroelectric Project (FERC 619). The purpose of
the plan was to describe protection, mitigation and enhancement measures for recreation
resources that will be implemented during the license term and document consultation with state
and federal agencies regarding the measures.
As part of this RMP, PG&E has committed to replacing the existing vault toilet and installing bear
resistant food storage boxes.
5. FERC AND DSOD PROCESS
FERC issued a new license for the Bucks Creek Project on June 16, 2022. State Water Resources
Control Board (SWRCB) 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) Condition 21 and U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Forest Service’s (“Forest Service”) section 4(e) Condition No. 55
require the licensees implement the Bucks Creek Recreation Management Plan (RMP). The
Grizzly Forebay restroom replacement and food storage lockers installation are required by the
RMP, as such, the project will require FERC authorization. Implementation of the construction
Document Accession #: 20240626-5116 Filed Date: 06/26/2024
project will not require a license amendment or variance request, but upon completion may require
updates to the Exhibit R.
The planned construction project will not require submitting a project application to DSOD since
the project will not affect any dams.
6. PROJECT SCHEDULE
Upon authorization of this Project, PG&E’s General Construction Civil crew will perform work
as stated in the scope of work section of this Project Description. All work within the scope of this
project will take approximately five weeks to complete, and is planned to begin on October 1,
2024.
• 1/2 week – mobilize and prep work area
• 1 week – demo AC and existing restroom facility
• 1 week – excavation and rough grading
• 1 week – install new restroom and finish grading
• 1 week – concrete flat work
• 1/2 week – misc., paint, signs, demob
Figure 1: Project Location
Document Accession #: 20240626-5116 Filed Date: 06/26/2024
B. PROPOSED ACTION
1. SCOPE OF WORK
The license Recreation Management Plan (RMP) recommends the Grizzly Forebay Recreation
area relocate the existing sign, replace the existing restroom, and install bear boxes at existing
camp sites. The project scope includes:
• Replace existing handicap accessible parking with new concrete accessible parking and
loading zone.
• Relocate existing information sign.
• Remove and replace existing vault toilet.
• Install bear resistant food cabinets at walk-in camp sites.
It is requested and anticipated that the campground and rest area will be temporarily closed to the
public during construction. Although this may cause minor inconvenience to the recreating public,
the duration will be relatively short (1 month) and this will ensure the safest means possible for
the public and the construction crew.
Upon project construction kick off, the constructor will mobilize to the jobsite. A temporary gate
will be installed just south of the intersection of Bucks Penstock Rd (24N34) and Grizzly Forebay
Rd (24N34A). The gate will be supported by above ground concrete blocks. No ground
disturbance nor excavation is required, and gate/blocks will be completely removed at the end of
construction.
Crews will begin by brushing back any vegetation that is encroaching on the work area. This is
anticipated to be only minor trimming and should not require the removal of any large vegetation.
Crews will then sawcut the asphalt pavement along the lines where pavement is to be removed.
Pavement will be removed with an excavator and loaded into a dump truck. Asphalt pavement
spoils will be taken to the nearest aggregate quarry for recycling. Crews will then demo the
existing restroom facility per Plumas County decommissioning standards. All trash generated will
be placed in an appropriate dump bin and hauled to the appropriate disposal facilities. Using
equipment with a box grader and a roller compactor, crews will then use native materials and
imported Class 2 AB to bring the jobsite to rough grade. Using an excavator, crews will dig a new
pit for the new restroom, per the design drawings. The new restroom will be installed and
backfilled per manufacturer’s directions. Crew will then complete subgrade. On top of subgrade
the crew will construct and pour the concrete flatwork per plan. After stripping formwork, final
grading will be completed, as well as miscellaneous signs, paint markings, etc.
The crew will also install new bear proof food storage lockers at the walk-in campground. One
locker will be installed at each of the seven camp sites, as shown in the design drawings. Vehicle
access is unclear at this time. If vehicle access is not available, Bear Boxes may be able to be
transported to the campgrounds on a hand dolly. If the weight of the boxes or access trails do not
allow for hand dolly, then the crew will have to fly the Bear Boxes into place with a helicopter.
This would be a short one or two day flight for only a few hours to set the boxes in place. Once
boxes are in place, the crew will dig a hole and set an anchor post in concrete for each box. When
the post concrete cures, the bear boxes will be attached to the posts using manufacturers hardware.
Document Accession #: 20240626-5116 Filed Date: 06/26/2024
Upon completion, the crew will clean up any residual trash for proper disposal. All residual
materials and equipment will be removed from the jobsite
In order to complete this scope of work, it is anticipated that the crew will have the following
equipment onsite…
• Large Tracked Excavator
• Sheeps Foot Roller Compactor
• Smooth Drum Roller Compactor
• 4000 Gal Water Truck
• 10 Yard Dump Truck
• Flat Bed Trailer
• Skip Loader with Grading Box
• Misc Concrete Tools
• Misc Hand and Power Tools
• Small generator and air compressor
• 2 to 4 Utility Type Crew Trucks (i.e. F250, F550)
Materials onsite may include, but are not limited to…
• Concrete
• Rebar
• Wood Form Boards
• Class 2 AB
• Prefab Concrete Restroom
• Prefab Metal Bear Proof Lockers
• Misc Signs and Marking Paint
Quality Control – All work described above will be performed by PG&E General Construction
and a qualified inspector will be onsite to ensure the Quality Control Inspection Plan (QCIP) is
adhered to. The inspector will take photographs which will be incorporated into a scaled back final
construction report, if required.
2. ACCESS, STAGING, LAYDOWN AND SPOILS SITES
The construction crews will access the jobsite as described above in the Directions section. All
access will be on existing roadways, foot trails, etc. No additional work is anticipated for
construction access.
It is anticipated that all staging will be done at the PGE laydown Staging site 3 (just off Bucks
Lake Road near Haskins Bay) and within the parking area of the jobsite. Due to the small size of
this job, it is anticipated that the volume/quantity of materials will be low.
As described above, all trash/spoils will be properly disposed of or recycled at local quarries.
Figure 2 shows the area of potential effects.

Figure 2: Project Site/Area of Potential Effects
Document Accession #: 20240626-5116 Filed Date: 06/26/2024
3. TRAFFIC CONTROL
Traffic control will not be necessary for this work. However, it is anticipated that the Forebay
access road and campground will be closed during construction. Advanced signage will be placed
on Bucks Lake Road to notify the public that the recreation area will be closed during construction.
4. FIRE HAZARD PREVENTION
Site preparation and construction will take place during the normal fire season. The provisions
below outline the channels of responsibility for fire prevention and suppression activities and
establish an attack procedure. Project personnel will make all reasonable efforts to prevent and
suppress wildfires.
Fire Prevention Requirements
• Burning – No burning will take place on this project.
• Welding, air-arc gouging, oxy-acetylene cutting, and grinding of pipe, steel or rebar is
referred to as Hot Work. Hot work will be always monitored. Areas where hot work is
being performed will be cleaned to mineral soil, and all brush, duff and other organics will
be cleared a minimum of 10 feet away. Work pieces will be allowed to cool before being
moved and will be cooled before the site is closed each night. Extinguishers will be
maintained at all sites where hot work is being performed.
• A shovel and a five-gallon supply of water will also be available. A permit is required
during the fire precautionary period.
• Smoking – Smoking may only be done in vehicles, on roads, or areas cleared to mineral
soil for a diameter of at least three feet.
• Vehicles and equipment can be ignition sources resulting from hot exhaust sparks, catalytic
converters, hot brakes, and vehicle fires. Equipment used on the site will be maintained
with spark arrestors as appropriate. Parking and laydown areas will be cleared of grass or
other flammable materials. Fire extinguishers will be maintained on all vehicles. Trucks
will be fueled at the headquarters and construction equipment will be refueled by a
refueling pickup truck at the site.
Required Fire Equipment
• One shovel, one axe, and one extinguisher U.L. rated 4 BC or more on each pickup, crew
truck, and personnel vehicle.
• One shovel with each tractor, backhoe, or other heavy equipment.
• One shovel and one backpack five-gallon water filled pump with each welder.
• One shovel and one chemical pressurized fire extinguisher (fully charged) located at a
point not greater than a distance of 25 feet from the work site, for each gasoline powered
tool, including but not restricted to chain saws, rock drills, etc. Fire extinguishers shall
be of the type and size set forth in the California Public Resources Code Sec. 4431 and
the California Administrative Code, Title 14, Sec. 1234.
Document Accession #: 20240626-5116 Filed Date: 06/26/2024
• Shovels shall be a type “O”, and overall length of not less than 46 inches. Axes or
Pulaski’s (Pulaski’s are recommended) shall have a 2 ½ pound or larger head, and not
less than 28 inches in overall length.
5. DISPOSAL CLEANUP AND DEMOBILIZATION
Following completion of construction activities, the job site will be returned, as much as is
reasonably practical, to its original condition. All environmental mitigation measures stipulated by
agency approvals and permits will be implemented in a timely manner. All equipment and surplus
materials will be removed from the site.
6. WORK SHIFT
A five-day work week (Monday through Friday), and 10-hour workday is anticipated. Should the
need arise, the crew may increase the work shift to 7 days per week.
C. ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES
1. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
Numerous projects have been conducted at Grizzly Forebay that have utilized the day use
parking area and helicopter pad for staging in recent years. These projects have required
environmental surveys for botanical, avian, and amphibian resources on several occasions
between 2017 and 2022. In addition, surveys were completed in this area in 2023 as part of
license implementation studies. As a result, the biological resources in this area are well
documented. Mildred’s clarkia, a sensitive plant, is known to occur in this area, including along
the access road and in portions of the campground. These plants were flagged for avoidance
during fuel reduction work in 2022. California spotted owl and northern goshawk historically
nested near Grizzly Forebay on the opposite side of the reservoir. Surveys in 2023 did not find
any California spotted owl or northern goshawk, nor have they been detected in several surveys
of this general area in previous years. In May 2024 and active northern goshawk nest was
discovered approximately 0.25 miles north of the campground. There is an established bald
eagle nest across the reservoir from Grizzly Powerhouse. The bald eagle nest was occupied as of
May 7, 2024. However, this work is sufficiently distant from the nest and of relatively low
disturbance, so impacts to the nest or the eagles are not anticipated, assuming helicopters are not
used in support of the work. If helicopter support is required, this has the potential to impact
both the goshawk and the eagle nest. This area is below the elevation occupied by Sierra Nevada
yellow-legged frog, but within the elevational range of foothill yellow-legged frog. Neither
species has been observed here in multiple surveys, including during license compliance studies
in 2023. Bat surveys during relicensing found no evidence of bat use at the restrooms. This
information suggests that there is limited potential for the project to affect environmental
resources with the application of the following avoidance and mitigation measures (AMMs).
These AMMs must be implemented in the execution of the project. Contact the Project Biologist
Document Accession #: 20240626-5116 Filed Date: 06/26/2024
Larry Wise (Lawrence.Wise@pge.com, 925-588-3931), if compliance with the measures cannot
be maintained to determine of alternative measure can be developed.
General Protection Measures
• Advise the Project Biologist of your planned start date at least three weeks in advance to
allow them to coordinate preconstruction surveys.
• All employee’s working on the project shall receive environmental training before the start
of work. Training will include a review of: 1) pertinent environmental laws and
regulations, 2) FERC license requirements, 3) sensitive species with the potential to be
observed on site, and 4) the AMMs for this project. All employees shall be present for this
training.
• No in-water work shall be conducted.
• All heavy equipment, vehicles, and activities will be confined to existing access roads, road
shoulders, staging areas, and disturbed or designated parking and work areas where
conditions allow. Equipment, when not in use, will be stored in upland areas away from
all waterbodies.
• All equipment will be well maintained to prevent leaks of fuels, lubricants, or other fluids.
All equipment and the ground underneath such equipment will be inspected prior to be
being brought on site, and daily while on site for evidence of leaks. Any leaking equipment
will be removed from the site immediately and repaired before being allowed to return to
any PG&E work site.
• Vehicles and equipment will not be maintained or refueled in areas where hazardous
materials may enter a stream or lake (minimum of 107 ft).
• Check underneath vehicles for wildlife prior to moving if to avoid crushing any wildlife
that may have taken refuge there.
• Extreme caution will be used and all applicable laws and regulations will be followed when
handling and/or storing chemicals (e.g., fuel, hydraulic fluid, pesticides, etc.). Chemicals
should not be stored near waterways, except within existing Project buildings designated
for such storage. All applicable hazardous waste BMPs will be followed. Appropriate
materials will be on site to prevent and manage spills.
• When possible, activities near wetlands, waterways, or on saturated soils will be conducted
during the dry season. If work is necessary during the rainy season, it should be conducted
during dry spells between rain events.
• Vegetation removal and ground disturbance will not exceed the minimum amount
necessary to complete work.
Document Accession #: 20240626-5116 Filed Date: 06/26/2024
• Spoil sites will not be located within any waterbodies or aquatic habitat (including
meadows) where spoils may be washed back into any waterbodies or aquatic habitat, or
where it may cover aquatic or riparian vegetation.
• All trash and waste items generated by project or crew activities will be properly contained
and removed from the project site at the end of each work day to prevent attracting wildlife
to the project area.
• Any animal encountered shall be allowed to leave the site on its own. Stop work near the
animal and leave the animal alone. Do not harass the animal to get it to leave. If it does
not leave, contact the project biologist. Work will not resume until the situation has been
resolved to the project biologist’s satisfaction.
• Before moving vehicles and heavy equipment, check for amphibians and other wildlife to
ensure they are not crushed.
• Erosion control materials shall be composed entirely of natural-fiber biodegradable
materials within 107 ft of Sierra Nevada yellow-legged frog suitable habitat. Geotextiles,
fiber rolls, and other erosion control measures shall be made of loose-weave mesh, such as
jute, coconut (coir) fiber, or other products without welded weaves.
• Synthetic (e.g., plastic or nylon) mono-filament netting will not be used for erosion control
or other purposes within 107 ft of Sierra Nevada yellow-legged frog suitable habitat to
ensure that individuals do not get entangled, trapped, injured, or killed.
Nesting Birds
• Avoid vegetation removal (e.g., tree removal, brush mastication, and significant tree
limbing) during the general nesting bird season of February 1 through August 31. If
vegetation removal cannot be avoided during this time, a qualified biologist will conduct a
survey for active bird nests within the work area, plus a 500-ft (raptors) and 250-ft (non-
raptors) survey area, within 5 days of vegetation removal activities.
• Helicopter work has the potential to impact the northern goshawk and bald eagle nests.
Helicopter work cannot be conducted prior to August 31, 2024. If helicopter work cannot
be avoided prior to this time, monitors with stop work authority will be required for both
nests to assess disturbance. Please advise the Project Biologist if helicopter support will
be required at least 3 weeks in advance of this helicopter support to coordinate a monitor.
Northern Goshawk
• Avoid conducting potentially disruptive activities, as indicated below within a 0.25 mile
buffer of known northern goshawk nests and/or suitable habitat during their breeding
Document Accession #: 20240626-5116 Filed Date: 06/26/2024
season (Feb 15-Aug 31). Project activities that would trigger the actions described in this
measure include:
o Helicopter operations involving extended circling or hovering (e.g., >5 min)
multiple round-trips, or repeated sling-loading of equipment into a site
o Project operations or maintenance requiring blasting
o Project operations or maintenance requiring jackhammering in areas with natural
to low ambient activity (e.g., light vehicular traffic and small power tools
[USFWS 2006])
o Tree-felling (e.g., hazard tree removal) or trimming of woody vegetation
requiring extended chainsaw use (e.g., >1 hr) and/or a masticator
o Removal of large slides at Project facilities or along Project roads that would
require use of heavy equipment (e.g., a backhoe or an excavator)
o Ditch and/or culvert cleaning along non-paved (i.e., remote) Project roads
extensive enough to require a backhoe
• The restroom and parking are outside the 0.25 mile buffer, so those activities may
proceed, subject to the other measures included herein.
• Bear box replacement may also proceed, in compliance with this condition.
• No helicopter use is allowed between February 15 and August 31. If this cannot be
avoided, contact the project biologist.
Special Status Plants
• Special status plants and special status natural communities will be flagged within 100 ft
of the work area prior to starting construction activities. Flagged areas will be avoided
during construction. If this is not possible contact the Project Biologist to determine
appropriate mitigation actions. Pre and post construction monitoring will be conducted to
determine if disturbance of flagged resources has occurred.
Invasive Weeds
• Grade soil stockpiles to match local contours and mulch and/or reseed the disturbed areas
with certified weed-free and/or native plant materials (when available, it is preferable to
use mulch from on-site materials [e.g., chipped trees/slash]
• Use certified weed-free straw/mulch when available. It is preferable to use mulch from on-
site materials [e.g., chipped trees/slash]) for all construction, erosion control, or restoration
needs. Use gravel and sand from weed-free sources where possible.
• Restrict travel to established roads and motorized trails, and avoid traveling through areas
with known NNIP occurrences when possible. Use areas known to be weed-free for
staging and laydown when possible. If entering or staging within a NNIP infestation cannot
be avoided, the Licensees will conduct work in NNIP-free area(s) first and clean equipment
(e.g., brush tires and/or undercarriages of off-road equipment) after leaving the infested
area(s) as soon as reasonably practical to do so.
Document Accession #: 20240626-5116 Filed Date: 06/26/2024
• Topsoil stockpiles that will remain in place for longer than 1 month shall be seeded with
native plant seed to maintain soil microbe health and to help prevent the establishment of
NNIP. Contact Shannon Johnson (SXDM) for sources of native plant seed.
• non-resident off-road equipment (all logging, construction (e.g. excavators, back hoes,
graders), and brushing machinery/equipment (e.g. brush hogs, masticators, chippers) will
be cleaned/washed (pressure washed) before being brought into the watershed. Equipment
will be considered clean when a visual inspection does not disclose soil, seed, plant
material, and other such debris. Disassembly of equipment components or specialized
inspection tools will not be required.
• Notify the Forest Service at least 7 to 10 working days prior to moving off-road equipment
on to NFS land to allow PNF the opportunity to inspect any piece of off-road equipment,
originating outside the watershed.
Bats
• A preconstruction survey of the restroom will be conducted to determine if any maternal
roosts are present. If a maternal roost is present, contact the project biologist to
determine next steps.
2. CULTURAL RESOURCES
A cultural resources desktop review was completed to assess the potential for the proposed activity
to adversely affect historic properties or previously unidentified or unevaluated cultural resources.
The Area of Potential Effects (APE) was covered by a pedestrian surveys conducted in 2015 for
the relicensing effort (Cardno 2016). As a result of these surveys, there is one historic property
within the APE. The Bucks Creek Hydroelectric Historic District was determined eligible for
listing in the National Register of Historic Places in 2016 (FERC_2014_0806_001). No
contributing features of the district are in the APE. There are no additional cultural resources in
the APE.
The Historic Property Management Plan Bucks Creek Hydroelectric Project, Plumas County,
California, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Project No. 619 (HPMP) provides a
management protocol and framework to protect historic properties and manage existing or
potential effects for the term of the license, including project activities. Per Section 6.5 of the
HPMP, some activities have a very low potential to affect historic properties, including upgrades
and improvements to Project facilities that have been formally determined not to meet NRHP
eligibility criteria and routine operations and maintenance activities in areas that have been
previously surveyed and where there are no historic properties. As this area has been previously
surveyed, the project involves minimal ground disturbance, and there are no contributing features
Document Accession #: 20240626-5116 Filed Date: 06/26/2024
of the Bucks Creek Hydroelectric Historic District in the APE, the potential for this undertaking
to affect historic properties is very low and is exempt from additional cultural resources review or
consultation.
Based on the information provided above, there will be no historic properties affected by the
proposed activity pursuant to 36 CFR 800.4(d)(1). Should there be an unanticipated discoveries
during project implementation, the process outlined in Section 5.3 of the HPMP will be followed.
Treatment of Unanticipated Discoveries
Project undertakings, operation, or maintenance, and other activities could expose and damage
previously unidentified cultural resources. In addition, previously unknown constituents of
recorded cultural resources may become exposed. If such unanticipated discoveries are made, the
following steps will be taken:
1. All work in the immediate area will cease and all artifacts left in place until the Licensees’
(i.e., PG&E) CRS (or their designee) and PNF Heritage Program Manager, as appropriate,
are able to assess and evaluate the find.
2. If the cultural materials constitute isolated material, or an “isolated find” (e.g., less than
five unformed-non-diagnostic artifacts per square meter, isolated formed tools, isolated
historic items), the Licensees’ (i.e. PG&E) CRS or their designee will document the
material as such to current National Park Service (NPS) standards on a Primary Record,
and the construction activity may continue without any further consultation. An exception
would be for isolated cultural materials or a feature that could be eligible for the NRHP on
their own merit following application of the NRHP criteria (for examples: rock art, paleo-
period projectile point).
3. If the cultural materials constitute a “site” (e.g., greater than five unformed artifacts per
square meter) or an isolated find that may be eligible for the NRHP on its own merit, the
Licensees’ (i.e. PG&E) CRS or their designee will document the property to current NPS
standards, and the material will be assumed eligible for the NRHP in accordance with 36
CFR 800.13.
4. Following documentation, where feasible, measures will be taken to protect newly
discovered sites from further disturbance. The Licensees’ (i.e., PG&E) CRS shall consult
with the Tribes and PNF, as appropriate, to seek ways to avoid, minimize, or mitigate
potential adverse effects.
5. PG&E, as a co-licensee, will notify SHPO and the Tribes within 48 hours of the new site
discovery in accordance with 36 CFR 800.13(b)(3). The notification will describe any
assessment of NRHP eligibility (either formal or informal) and the recommended actions
to be undertaken to resolve potential adverse effects.
6. In accordance with 36 CFR 800.13(b)(3), SHPO and the Tribes will have 48 hours to
respond to the notification of a new site discovery. Any response will be taken into account
by the Licensees (i.e., PG&E), who will assume lead role as delegated by FERC and
coordinate with PNF, as appropriate. If no response is received within 48 hours, PG&E
Document Accession #: 20240626-5116 Filed Date: 06/26/2024
will assume that no comments are forthcoming, that SHPO and the Tribes concur with the
proposed actions, and PG&E may proceed with implementing the actions. Following
completion of the actions, work in the vicinity of the find may continue.
7. Following completion of all construction activities, the Licensees (i.e., PG&E) shall
provide to SHPO, the Tribes, and PNF, as appropriate, and the California Historic
Resources Information Center at CSU Chico, a report of the actions that were undertaken
during construction activities and copies of all field documentation and consultation. This
report will describe in detail the isolated finds and potential historic properties (sites)
identified during construction activities, all measures undertaken to resolve potential
adverse effects and copies of all consultation documents.
Treatment of Human Remains
Human remains, graves, and cemeteries that may be encountered during Project-related activities
are protected by state and/or federal law. Under federal law, and on National Forest System land,
the provisions of the ARPA, AIRFA, and NAGPRA protect human graves, associated funerary
objects, and the free expression of Native American religious beliefs. On privately owned lands,
the California Health and Safety Code (7050.5, 7051, 7054), and California Public Resources Code
CPRC (5097) prohibit damage, defacement, or disinterment of human remains without legal
authority, and establish civil and criminal penalties. These statutes are also applicable to anyone
who knowingly loots prehistoric or historical Native American and/or other graves. In all cases,
human remains and associated funerary objects must be treated with respect. Sensitivity toward
all interested parties is essential whenever human remains are concerned.
For all Project-related activities, the general policy shall be strict avoidance of all human burials,
whether marked or unmarked, whenever possible. Re-interment in place and avoidance of further
disturbance through redesign will be conducted where feasible. Any Project‑related activity in
burial areas may continue only after all steps defined by applicable state and federal laws have
been completed.
Public Land
If potential human remains are discovered during any Project activity on lands administered by the
Forest Service or other federal agencies, the procedures identified in the NAGPRA will be closely
followed and the following steps will be taken:
1. All activities that may further disturb the potential remains will cease immediately in the
vicinity of the discovery.
8. The work supervisor shall notify Licensees’ (i.e., PG&E) CRS, who will contact the elected
Cultural Resources Representative of the affected Tribe and PNF Heritage Program
Manager.
9. The remains are to be secured and protected and non-destructive, in-situ evaluation
undertaken by Licensees’ (i.e., PG&E) CRS and PNF Heritage Program Manager to
determine if they are human. If there is any question regarding whether or not the remains
are human, the County Coroner will be contacted to provide further evaluation.
Document Accession #: 20240626-5116 Filed Date: 06/26/2024
10. If the remains are determined to be human, the County Coroner will be contacted by
Licensees’ (i.e., PG&E) CRS and/or PNF Heritage Program Manager to determine if the
burial contains a victim of either a recent prosecutable crime or an accidental death.
11. Should the remains be of Native American ancestry as determined by the County Coroner,
the NAHC and the Chair of the appropriate Tribe will be notified by the PNF Heritage
Program Manager by telephone and email within 24 hours of the discovery as specified in
NAGPRA Subpart 10.4 and 10.51a.
12. Should the remains be of Native American ancestry, as determined by the County Coroner,
Licensees’ (i.e., PG&E) CRS, and the PNF Heritage Program Manager, in consultation
with elected Cultural Resources Representative of the affected Tribal Band (or their
designee), shall make a determination as to whether the burial can be adequately and safely
restored in-situ or whether the burial should be disinterred completely and re-interred in
another location.
13. In cases where re-interment in place is possible, the Licensees’ (i.e., PG&E) CRS and the
PNF Heritage Program Manager, in consultation with the elected Cultural Resources
Representative of the affected Tribal Band, shall cause the burial to be backfilled,
stabilized, and protected from further disturbance by either human activities or natural
processes that may have caused the disturbance in the first instance.
14. In cases where re-interment in place is neither prudent nor feasible, the elected Cultural
Resources Representative of the affected Tribal Band and the PNF Heritage Program
Manager will be consulted regarding proper re-interment as per NAGPRA Subpart 10.4.
Private Land
When human remains are discovered on privately owned land, other than a dedicated cemetery,
excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent
remains will cease until the County Coroner has been notified and has determined that the
circumstances, manner, and cause of death do not require further investigation (CH&SC
7050.5(b)). If the coroner determines that the remains are Native American, the Licensees will
contact the NAHC to identify the Most Likely Descendant. The Licensees will also coordinate
with the PNF regarding Tribal Contacts to obtain Most Likely Descendant information.
With the permission of the landowner, the descendants may inspect the site of the discovery and
recommend means for treating the human remains and any associated grave goods with appropriate
dignity. The descendants will have 24 hours to complete their inspection and make their
recommendation. If the NAHC is unable to identify a descendant, and/or the identified descendant
fails to make a recommendation, and/or the landowner rejects the recommendation of the
descendant and mediation fails to provide measures acceptable to the landowner, the landowner
will re-inter the human remains and items associated with Native American burials with
appropriate dignity on the property in a location not subject to further subsurface disturbance
(CPRC 5097.98).
Document Accession #: 20240626-5116 Filed Date: 06/26/2024
Specific procedures to be followed by the Licensees in the event that human remains are
discovered in the Project APE are summarized below. In addition to these policies and procedures,
the Licensees will summarize all relevant legal requirements regarding the discovery and treatment
of human remains in construction and maintenance contracts and will take appropriate steps to
ensure that its employees are familiar with the required procedures.
NAGPRA Action Plan
If human remains are discovered on federal lands (i.e., non-FERC Project area), all activity in the
immediate vicinity of the discovery shall cease immediately. As required under NAGPRA,
Licensees will notify the PNF and FERC by telephone within 24 hours of discovery, followed by
written confirmation within 3 days of discovery. The PNF will be responsible for notifying Native
Americans and initiating tribal consultations required by law.
The Licensees will make a reasonable effort to protect the items discovered before resuming any
ground-disturbing activity. Activity shall not resume in the immediate vicinity of discovery until:
1) 30 days after the PNF Heritage Program Manager certifies receipt of the written confirmation
of the discovery; or 2) a binding recovery plan is signed between the PNF and the affiliated Native
American Tribes (whichever occurs first).
Human remains or associated funerary objects shall not be excavated or otherwise removed unless
a permit is issued under ARPA, and only after consultation with the appropriate Native American
group is completed. Disposition of any such remains discovered on or removed from federal lands
will follow protocols established in negotiation among the Tribes, PNF, and Licensee.
NAGPRA and ARPA also require that funerary objects, whether discovered incidentally or
inadvertently, be treated in accordance with the procedures summarized above. Funerary objects
are those reasonably believed to have been placed intentionally at the time of death or later with
or near individual human remains. A burial site means any natural or prepared physical location,
whether originally below, on, or above the ground, into which individual human remains were
deposited and includes rock cairns or pyres that do not fall within the ordinary definition of a grave.
Moreover, any person who knowingly removes, without authority of law, any Native American
artifacts or human remains from a Native American grave or cairn is guilty of a felony, punishable
by imprisonment in state prison (CPRC 5097.99).
3. EROSION CONTROL AND FUGITIVE DUST ABATEMENT
The proposed work activity will cause minimal soil disturbance (< .9 acres).
Erosion and sediment control will be managed in accordance with PG&E Water Quality Group
approved, Good Housekeeping, Activity Specific Erosion Sediment Control Plan (A-ESCP).
Dust abatement will be implemented by routinely wetting down surfaces with water trucks or totes.
Document Accession #: 20240626-5116 Filed Date: 06/26/2024
4. WATER QUALITY
Water quality will not be impacted by this project. No water quality monitoring is recommended.
5. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
All hazardous material will be managed and stored under the direction of the ENVR 3000P-01
Procedure. All materials will have legible labels, stored in appropriate containers and stored in
secured/contained areas. Safety Data Sheets (SDS) or Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) will
be available at the job site upon request. Quantities of hazardous materials will be below
thresholds (55 gallons/500 pounds/200 cubic feet) quantities for less than 30 days.
Trucks and equipment will be refueled from non-bulk, truck-mounted fuel tanks. All refueling
operations will be attended by trained personnel and be conducted in accordance with applicable
BMPs and PG&E policies. Prior to operation, all equipment will be inspected for fluid leaks and
for signs of worn or damaged parts that may result in a release.
All hazardous waste products will be placed in the proper containers and transported from the job
site to an authorized Hazardous Waste Collection Site under the direction of PG&E’s remote
hazardous waste consolidation requirements (ENV-4000P-03).
Small engine powered equipment will be provided with secondary containment. Whenever
possible, vehicles and equipment with engines supplying motive power will be parked in
designated areas located 200-feet or more from water. Drip pans or other containment measures
will be placed under vehicles and equipment when not in use while located within 200-feet of
water.
In accordance with PG&E policy, all hazardous substance releases to the environment are
reported internally. A spill kit will be maintained on site to ensure prompt containment in the
unlikely event of a release to the environment. All media impacted by a spill will be cleaned up
and disposed off-site in accordance with all applicable regulations.
D. PERMITS AND APPROVALS
1. PERMITS
The proposed recreation improvements would take place within the existing p-619 project
boundary.
No work is proposed within potentially jurisdictional waters of the US. The improvements would
take place entirely in upland areas. Similarly, the proposed improvements would not occur in
previously undisturbed areas. The Restroom and ORAR improvements and sign relocation would
take place within the footprint of the existing parking and restroom facilities.
Document Accession #: 20240626-5116 Filed Date: 06/26/2024
Existing amenities at the 7 walk-in campsites include site markers, fire rings, picnic tables, and
tent pads. A new food locker will be installed within each of these existing campsites. The pole
mount installation, as depicted in drawing 314688, is anticipated. A single, twelve-inch-wide hole
will be dug at each food locker location within the existing campsites.
As described on page 3-31 of the Bucks Creek RMP, on NFS land, the Forest Service will approve
the site development plan and construction plan prior to submitting the plans to FERC. Therefore,
Forest Service approval of the development and construction plans is anticipated pursuant to the
RMP. The anticipated FERC submittal and review processes are described in Section D.2 of the
Project Description. Based on the preceding discussion, discretionary approvals from resource
agencies would not be required.
2. REVIEWS/APPROVALS
The proposed project is expected to require review and authorization/approval from FERC. The
regulations require that PG&E allow at least 60 days for FERC authorization; however; allowing
90 to 120 days for FERC authorization is prudent whenever possible.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
This quality control inspection program (QCIP) is regarding Pacific Gas & Electric Company’s
(PG&E) project (the project) to Grizzly Forebay Recreation Area (RA) Replacement Restroom at
Grizzly Forebay Parking Area which is part of PG&E’s Bucks Creek Hydroelectric Project,
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) No. 619 The purpose of this QCIP is to ensure
the quality construction of this project. The responsible engineer (RE) is accountable for
development of the QCIP for this project.
This QCIP has been prepared in compliance with the following Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) requirements and guidelines:
•Title 18, Chapter I, Sub-Chapter B, Part 12, Subpart E, Section 12.50 of the Code of
Federal Regulations
•FERC’s Engineering Guidelines for the Evaluation of Hydropower Projects, Chapter VII,
“Construction Quality Control Inspection Program”
1.2 Background
The purpose of the Grizzly Forebay RA Restroom Replacement project is to replace the existing
pit toilet with a new vault toilet (restroom) with increased waste volume capacity, Sweet
Smelling Technology, external waste pumping access, and improved handicap parking and path
of travel between the parking and restroom. Also, this project will install new bear resistant food
storage lockers.
1.3 Description of Structures and Types of Construction
The Grizzly Forebay Restroom Replacement Project consists of replacement of the existing
wood framed pit toilet with a new precast concrete vault single toilet facility by CTX, Gunnison
model with Sweet Smelling Technology. Walls are built with 4” thick reinforced UL752 bullet
resistant concrete. A rain and debris screen will be added to the vault’s vent stack.
The adjacent handicap parking space, unload zone, and path of travel to the restroom do not
comply with current acceptable grades per handicap accessibility standards. As part of this
project, PG&E will replace them with cast-in-place concrete pavement that will be compliant
with current standards.
Bear resistant food storage boxes will be installed at each of the (7) walk-in campsites located
along the shore of Grizzly Forebay.
PG&E plans to utilize their general construction (GC) group to perform all aspects of the on-site
construction work.

KEY PG&E PROJECTS
Tiger Creek Afterbay Gate Repair
Tiger Creek radial gate was damaged from impacting the dam crest. Repairs to the gate included partial
replacement of damaged structural steel (some fracture critical), new lifting brackets, hoist
modifications and testing, design and construction of a temporary cofferdam, new seals, recoating of
structural steel, and permitting assistance. Construction included diver and helicopter support.
Pit 1 Reservoir Cofferdams
Design of a structural steel cofferdam that facilitates dewatering both radial gates for ongoing
maintenance.
Inskip Dam Repairs
Designed repairs for flood damage to the radial gate, spill crest, dam toe, intake structure undermining
and slope erosion. This project also included design of a dewatering plan consisting of pumped bypass
and temporary cofferdam.
Gansner Bar Fish Barrier Removal Project
Removal of Gansner Bar fish barrier required routing river flows away from the site, allowing work to be
performed in the dry. This required extensive planning and design to develop a manmade bypass
channel. Flow was diverted into the channel using a series of waterfilled bladder cofferdams and
concrete block and river bottom liner.
Scott Dam Radial Gate Hoist Replacement and Slide Gate Repair
Scott Dam has 5 radial gates and 26 slide gates. The radial gate hoist was replaced with a new
cart-mounted trolley-drive hoist, a new prime power generator was added, and all slide gates were
either repaired or replaced. Mr. Harp led the engineering design team responsible for all aspects of this
project (structural/mechanical, civil, corrosion/coatings, electrical/controls). Construction included
helicopter support.
Krause 2 Flume Replacement and Landslide Stabilization
The Krause 2 Flume was constructed within an active landslide causing significant movement and
structural damage to the flume. Mr. Harp managed the engineering design team in preparation of
alternatives analysis, cost estimate, and final engineering and design for relocation and replacement of
the flume and landslide remediation, as well as Post Design Services.
PG&E Burney Service Center Renovation and Upgrades
Mr. Harp is the principal engineer for this project, that is currently on hold due to Covid 19. This project
includes a significant renovation of the existing service center, replacement of existing buildings,
upgrades to the heliport, outdoor storage and laydown area improvements, and new wood and welding
shop additions.
Pit3, Rock Creek and Wise Powerhouse Renovations and Modernizations
Mr. Harp was the principal architectural designer and engineer for these significant renovations and
modernizations of PG&E’s hydro-electric powerhouses. These projects included interior renovation,
sound proofing, fire proofing, new operations centers, new kitchens and restrooms, ADA upgrades, and
new roofing, HVAC and electrical.

Pit 3, 4, 5 Relicensing Project
Mr. Harp was project manager and design engineer providing engineering services during construction
to Barnard Construction for the Pit 3, 4, 5 Relicensing Project. Services provided include construction
staking, Pit 4 Dam cofferdam, electrical inspection of stand-by generator at Pit 5 Dam, fall protection,
crane pad, bridge analysis, crane access review, assistance with design modifications to Pit 4 Dam trash
rack, and crane supported drill rig/man basket.
Pit 3, 4, 5 Recreational Improvements
Mr. Harp managed PACE’s design team for the Pit 3, 4, 5 Recreation Improvements Project. This project
included improvements or replacement of recreational facilities at 30 separate sites along the Pit River,
from the upper reach of Lake Britton to just upstream of Pit 5 Powerhouse. The project involved civil,
structural, electrical, water, and wastewater engineering, and surveying and included renovations to
existing campgrounds, new campgrounds, beach access and beach renovation, day use and picnic areas,
information kiosks and boards, road improvements, river access hiking trails, boat launches, river boat
in-put/takeout, and vista viewing points.
Bear River Canal Emergency Repairs
During spring of 2011, the Bear River Canal was taken out of service from a landslide. With the onset of
summer and the need for water to be delivered to downstream users, this project became a race against
time. PACE provided quick-to-implement solutions for temporarily bypassing water at the affected area
providing water to downstream users before the onset of hot weather. Mr. Harp managed PACE’s team
of dedicated engineers in this endeavor.
Pit 6 Powerhouse – Emergency Transformer Replacement
While contractors were working within the dam’s tailrace, one of the two hydro-generators’
transformers failed. This required directing all Pit River flow through just one unit, as the construction
work within the spill channel inhibited releases over the dam. Bringing the down unit back online as
soon as possible was paramount to preserving redundancy in the system. Mr. Harp led PACE’s team of
structural, civil, and electrical engineers who worked tirelessly with PG&E’s engineers and contractors to
replace the failed transformer ahead of schedule.

Dear Christopher Carlton,
This email presents a request to construct recreation improvements at Grizzly
Forebay, which is part of Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (PG&E) Bucks Creek
Hydroelectric Project, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) No. 619.
FERC issued a new license for the Bucks Creek Project on June 16, 2022. State
Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC)
Condition 21 and U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service’s (“Forest Service”)
section 4(e) Condition No. 55 require the licensees implement the Bucks Creek
Recreation Management Plan (RMP).
Table 3.1-1 of the RMP identifies the following recreation improvements at Grizzly
Forebay in license year 1 (2023):
Facility Activity
Grizzly Forebay Campground
- Perform Trail Maintenance
- Install Wildlife Resistant Food
Lockers
- Fuel Treatment
Grizzly Forebay Gauging Station Trail - Perform Trail Maintenance
Due to significant precipitation and unprecedented snowpack in 2022/2023, access to
the Bucks Creek project was restricted until early June which delayed site condition
assessments and planning. Due to these constraints, PG&E was only able to
implement the following RMP year 1 activities:
Grizzly Forebay Campground: Perform Trail Maintenance and Fuel
Treatment
Grizzly Forebay Gauging Station Trail: Perform Trail Maintenance
PG&E sought approval from the Forest Service to complete the remainder of the year
1 work (Install Wildlife Resistant Food Lockers) by December 31, 2024 in an email
dated May 19, 2023. The Forest Service provided a concurrence email on June 30,
2023.
In addition to installation of the wildlife resistant food lockers, PG&E is taking
advantage of the facility closure and accelerating the RMP implementation schedule
to complete the following recreation improvements at Grizzly Forebay (originally
required in license year 3 - 2025):
Facility Activity
- Replace restroom
Document Accession #: 20240626-5116 Filed Date: 06/26/2024
Grizzly Forebay Recreation Area - Install signage
As described in the Bucks Creek RMP, the Forest Service must approve the site
development plan and construction plan. The wildlife resistant food lockers and
bathroom installation are prefabricated with a standard design, therefore PG&E did
not have the typical 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100% design stages. Attached please find a
Project Description, including 100% design drawings.
Requesting Forest Service review and approval as soon as possible so we can file
concurrence with FERC to support mobilization in late September.
For general questions, please contact Jamie Visinoni, senior license coordinator for
PG&E, at (530) 215-6676.
Sincerely,
Jamie Visinoni
