[Project No. 2100-119 California]


California Department of Water Resources; Notice of Availability 
of Final Environmental Assessment

August 19, 2004.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 
as amended, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission 
or FERC) regulations (18 CFR Part 380), the Commission staff reviewed 
an application for amendment to the approved recreation plan for the 
Feather River Project (FERC Project No. 2100) and prepared a final 
environmental assessment (FEA) on the application. The project is 
located on the Feather River in Butte County, California, near the city 
of Oroville.
    Specifically, the project licensee, the California Department of 
Water Resources, requested that the Commission amend the approved 
recreation plan for the project to allow shared use of certain 
recreational trails within the project boundaries. In the FEA, the 
Commission staff analyzes the probable environmental effects of the 
proposed amendment and concludes that the proposal should not be 
approved at this time.
    The FEA is attached to a Commission order titled ``Order Denying 
Request to Amend Recreation Plan,'' which was issued August 17, 2004, 
and is available for review in the Commission's Public Reference Room 
located at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426. The 
FEA also may be viewed on the Commission's website (http://www.ferc.gov) using the ``eLibrary'' link. Additional information about 
the project is available from the Commission's Office of External 
Affairs, at (202) 502-8004. You may register online at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp to be notified via e-mail of

For assistance, contact [email protected] or toll-free at

    Any comments on the FEA should be filed within 30 days of the date 
of this notice and should be addressed to Magalie Roman Salas, 
Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. Please reference ``Feather River Project, FERC
