DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2100-180--California]


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

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC's) 
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations Part 380, the Office of 
Energy Projects has reviewed an application filed by the California 
Department of Water Resources on May 17, 2017, and supplemented June 16 
and June 20, 2017, to permanently reroute three existing primary 
transmission lines at the Feather River Project No. 2100 between the 
Hyatt Pumping-Generating Plant and the Table Mountain Substation. The 
proposal would allow California Department of Water Resources to 
continuously deliver electricity along a different route away from 
repair activities at the project's damaged main spillway and emergency 
spillway area. The Feather River Project is located on the Feather 
River in Butte County, California.
    Staff prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the application 
which analyzes the potential environmental effects of approving the 
requested transmission line modification. In the EA, staff concludes 
that such an approval, with specified environmental protection 
measures, 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's Public 
Reference Room or it may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at 
www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link. Enter the docket number P-2100-
180 in the docket number field to access the document. For assistance, 
contact FERC Online Support at [email protected] or toll-free 
at 1-866-208-3676, or for TTY, 202-502-8659.
    For further information, contact Mr. John Aedo at (415) 369-3335 or 
by email at [email protected].

    Dated: August 23, 2017.
