PG&E is requesting the following schedule updates: •Mill Creek and Sandy Point projects shift from 2026 to 2027. •Hutchins project shifts from 2027 to 2028. The schedule adjustment for Mill Creek and Sandy Point allows time to complete design development, incorporate agency input, and obtain required approvals prior to construction. The Hutchins adjustment is intended to reduce impacts to available recreation sites by avoiding overlapping construction. I approve this extension of time. If you have any questions or need anything further, please contact Colleen Heard, Assistant Resource Officer at (530) 283-7627, or by email at colleen.heard@usda.gov.

Washington, D.C. 20426 Re: Bucks Creek Hydroelectric Project, FERC No. 619-CA Schedule Update – Recreation Management Plan State Water Resources Control Board 401 Water Quality Certification Condition 21 and U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service’s section 4(e) Condition No. 55 Dear Secretary Reese: Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is writing to provide a schedule update on improvements identified in Table 3.1-1 (Implementation Schedule) of the Recreation Management Plan (RMP) for PG&E and City of Santa Clara’s (Licensees) 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 to implement the Bucks Creek RMP. Section 3.1.4.3 of the RMP (Contracting and Construction) allows for flexibility in the implementation schedule for project facilities on Forest Service lands and states that “the implementation schedule for constructing or reconstructing these facilities may be revised, as needed, upon agreement between Licensees and the Forest Service.” Based on design development progress and coordination with the Plumas National Forest, PG&E has updated the schedule for the following RMP measures: • Mill Creek Campground and Sandy Point Day Use Area projects shift from 2026 to 2027; and • Hutchins Group Campground project shifts from 2027 to 2028. These schedule adjustments allow time to complete design development, incorporate agency input, obtain required approvals, and avoid overlapping construction that could limit recreation access.
