Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2100-185--California]

Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment:
California Department of Water Resources

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC's)
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 380, the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed an application filed by the California
Department of Water Resources (California DWR), licensee for the
Feather River Hydroelectric Project, to repair the Oroville Dam main
spillway, modify the existing emergency spillway, and relocate a buried
transmission line. The specifications for the proposal were filed with
the Commission on January 29, 2018, and supplemented with additional
supporting information on February 13, July 16, and August 1, 2018. The
project is located on the Feather River in Butte County, California.
California DWR proposes to repair and reconstruct the Lake Oroville
main spillway as a result of the failure of the main spillway beginning
on February 7, 2017. California DWR also proposes to fortify the
existing emergency spillway located adjacent to the main spillway and
to relocate a buried transmission line near the Hyatt Power Plant. The
proposed work would take place over two years, with major portions of
the work at the main spillway completed on an expedited basis prior to
the commencement of the normal wet season on November 1, 2017. The
remainder of the work would be completed by January 2019. Staff
prepared a draft environmental assessment (EA), which analyzes the
potential environmental effects associated with the reconstruction and
modification of project structures. The draft EA also discusses the
environmental effects of California DWR's response to the spillway
failure and concludes that California DWR's proposed activities, with
specified environmental protection measures, would not constitute a
major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the
human environment.
A copy of the draft EA is available for review at the Commission's
Public Reference Room or it may be viewed on the Commission's website
at www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link. Enter the docket number P-2100
in the docket number field to access the document. For assistance,
contact FERC Online Support at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll-free
at 1-866-208-3676, or for TTY, 202-502-8659. All comments must be filed
by December 10, 2018.
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filing. Please file
comments using the Commission's eFiling system at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp. Commenters can also submit brief comments up
to 6,000 characters, without prior registration, using the eComment
