DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 137-002 California]


Pacific Gas and Electric; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

May 17, 2001.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 F.R. 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for license for the 
Mokelumne River Hydroelectric Project, a complex of multiple 
reservoirs, diversions, conduits, and powerhouses on the North Fork 
Mokelumne River, east of Sacramento, California in Alpine, Amador, and 
Calaveras Counties and has prepared a Final Environmental Assessment 
(FEA) for the project. The project occupies federal lands managed by 
the USDA Forest Service (Eldorado and Stanislaus National Forests) and 
the USDI Bureau of Land Management.
    The FEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental impacts of the project and concludes that licensing the 
project, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not 
constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the 
quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the FEA are available for review at the Commission's 
Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426, or by calling (202) 208-1371. The FEA may be viewed on the web 
at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call (202) 208-2222 for 
assistance).
    For further information, contact Jim Fargo (202) 219-2848.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
