RE: Poe Hydroelectric Project, FERC No. 2107-CA
Sandy Beach
Request for Construction Authorization and Notification of Schedule
Change
Dear Frank L. Blackett:
This letter presents an updated Quality Control and Inspection Program (QCIP) and
project schedule for the Sandy Beach recreation enhancements at Pacific Gas and
Electric Company’s (PG&E) Poe Hydroelectric Project, Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) No. 2107. This filing also provides the United States Forest
Service’s (Forest Service) conditional concurrence on the Sandy Beach 100% design
drawings.
The Poe Recreation Management Plan (Plan), approved by FERC on February 28,
2022, requires PG&E to construct recreational enhancements at Sandy Beach. PG&E
requested FERC authorization on the 100% Design Drawings on October 4, 2023, and
FERC requested Forest Service concurrence prior to construction authorization. Due to
delays receiving concurrence from the Forest Service and a feasibility determination
from California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the schedule has been
updated to September 2, 2026, through October 16, 2026.
On March 27, 2026, the Forest Service provided their conditional approval of the 100%
designs, pending Caltrans approval of the intersection between the access road and
State Highway 70. PG&E continues to work with Caltrans to address comments on the
Caltrans exemption request associated with this project. The updated QCIP does not
represent a change in project scope or design. The Sandy Beach recreation
improvements remain consistent with the 100% design drawings previously filed with
FERC and PG&E will file Caltrans approval once received.
The updated QCIP, dated March 31, 2026, is enclosed with this submittal (Enclosure 1)
along with the Forest Service conditional concurrence, dated March 27, 2026,
(Enclosure 2).

PG&E respectfully requests FERC authorization to proceed with the project, pending
Caltrans approval of intersection between the access road and State Highway 70.
PG&E plans to provide a final construction report within 90 days of completing
construction, otherwise PG&E will provide an update on the project status and a plan
and schedule for further action by November 15, 2026.
If you have questions or comments regarding this matter, please contact Anna Urias,
license coordinator for PG&E, at (530) 201-1961.
Sincerely,
Matthew Joseph
Supervisor, Hydro Licensing
