DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

[Project No. 2153-012 California]


Notice of Public Meeting To Discuss the Environmental Assessment 
Prepared for the Santa Felicia Hydropower Project; United Water 
Conservation District

December 12, 2005.
    On November 28, 2005, the Commission staff issued an Environmental 
Assessment (EA); prepared for the licensing of the Santa Felicia 
Hydroelectric Project.
    Comments on the EA are due January 12, 2006. The EA evaluates the 
environmental effects of the continued operation, and maintenance of 
the project. The project occupies 174.5 acres of U.S. land, 
administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, in 
the Los Padres and Angeles National Forests.
    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.
    A public meeting, which will be recorded by an official 
stenographer, is scheduled for Thursday, January 5, 2006, from 9 a.m. 
to 3 p.m. at the United Water Conservation District's office at 106 
North Eighth Street, Santa Paula, CA 93060. We ask that persons in need 
of directions or other assistance contact John Dickenson of United 
directly at (805) 525-4431 or via e-mail at [email protected].
    At this meeting, resource agency personnel and other interested 
persons will have the opportunity to provide oral and written comments 
and recommendations regarding the licensing of the Santa Felicia 
Hydroelectric Project for the Commission's public record.
    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. For assistance with 
eLibrary, contact [email protected] or call toll-free at (866)
