[Project No. 6885-009-CA]
Cinnamon Ranch Hydroelectric Project; Notice of Availability of
Environmental Assessment
July 16, 2009.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has
reviewed the application for a subsequent license for the Cinnamon
Ranch Hydroelectric Project, and has prepared an Environmental
Assessment. The operating project is located on Pellisier Creek, Middle
Creek, and Birch Creek, in the Hammil Valley area of Mono County, near
the Town of Benton, California. The project occupies 0.13 acre of U.S.
Forest Service lands within the Inyo National Forest and 7.53 acres of
lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management.
The EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental
impacts of the project and concludes that relicensing the project would
not constitute a major Federal action that would significantly affect
the quality of the human environment.
A copy of the EA is available for review at the Commission in the
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket
number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to
