[Project No. 2153-012 California]


United Water Conservation District; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

November 28, 2005.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 
as amended, and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations (18 CFR Part 380), Commission staff reviewed the 
application for a minor license for the Santa Felicia Hydroelectric 
Project and prepared this environmental assessment (EA). The project is 
located on Piru Creek in Ventura County, California. The project 
occupies 174.5 acres of U.S. land that is administered by the U.S. 
Department of Agriculture, Forest Service (Forest Service) in the Los 
Padres and Angeles National Forests.
    Specifically, the project licensee, United Water Conservation 
District, requested Commission approval of the Santa Felicia Project 
for hydroelectric generation purposes. In the EA, Commission staff 
analyze the probable environmental effects of relicensing the project 
and conclude that approval of the project, with appropriate staff-
recommended environmental measures, would not constitute a major 
federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment.
    Copies of the EA are available for review in Public Reference Room 
2-A of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE., Washington, 
DC. The EA also may be viewed on the Commission's Internet Web site 
(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) 502-6088, or on the Commission's website 
using the eLibrary link. For assistance with eLibrary, contact 
[email protected] or call toll-free at (866) 208-3676; for TTY 
contact (202) 502-8659.
    Any comments on the EA should be filed within 45 days of the date 
of this notice and should be addressed to Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. Please reference ``Santa Felicia Hydroelectric
