[Project No. 1121-136]


Pacific Gas and Electric Company; 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) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, Commission staff reviewed Pacific Gas and 
Electric Company's (PG&E) application for an amendment to the license 
of the Battle Creek Hydroelectric Project No. 1121 and have prepared an

[[Page 47945]]

Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed amendment. PG&E is 
proposing to remove Inskip Diversion Dam, adjacent infrastructure, fish 
ladder, and approximately 30,000 to 56,000 cubic yards of sediment from 
behind the dam. No changes to long-term operations of the project are 
proposed. The Battle Creek Hydroelectric Project consists of five 
developments that divert water from the North and South Forks of Battle 
Creek, and several tributaries and springs, for power generation. The 
project is located on Battle Creek, and North Fork and South Fork 
Battle Creek in Shasta and Tehama counties, California. The project 
occupies Federal lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. 
Bureau of Land Management.
    The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of removing Inskip Diversion Dam, and concludes 
that the proposed amendment, with appropriate environmental protective 
measures, would not constitute a major Federal action that would 
significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
    The EA may be viewed on the Commission's website at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``elibrary'' link. Enter the docket number (P-
1121) in the docket number field to access the document. For
