Commission 

[Project No. 606–027–CA] 

Kilarc-Cow Creek Hydroelectric 

Project; Notice of Intention To Prepare 

an Environmental Impact Statement 

February 19, 2010. 

The Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission (FERC) has received an 

application for surrender of license for 

the Kilarc-Cow Creek Hydroelectric 

Project, FERC No. 606. The project 

contains two developments and is 

located on Old Cow Creek and South 

Cow Creek in Shasta County, northern 

California. 

In the March 13, 2009 application, 

Pacific Gas and Electric Company 

(licensee) proposes to surrender the 

license, decommission and remove 

project facilities, as described in its 

proposed decommissioning plan. In 

general, (1) diversion dams would be 

removed to stop water diversions and to 

allow for free passage of fish and 

sediment; (2) some diversion dam 

abutments and foundations would be 

left in place to protect stream banks and 

provide grade control; (3) both 

powerhouse structures would be 

secured and left in place during 

decommissioning and an option for 

future reuse of the powerhouse 

structures would be preserved; (4) 

electric generators, turbines and other 

equipment would be removed; (5) both 

forebays would be graded and filled; 

and (6) canal segments would be left in 

place, breached, or filled in consultation 

with affected landowners, and metal 

and wood flume structures would be 

removed. The licensee consulted with 

federal, state, local agencies, and other 

parties with potential interest, during 

the license surrender application 

process. 

As a result of the public scoping 

process and environmental site review, 

the FERC staff has determined that the 

proposed license surrender would 

constitute a major federal action 

significantly affecting the quality of the 

human environment. Therefore, the staff 

intends to prepare an environmental 

impact statement (EIS) on the 

surrendering of the hydroelectric project

in lieu of an environmental assessment 

(EA). The EIS will be prepared in 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). 

Scoping 

The FERC staff prepared a scoping 

document and held public scoping 

meetings on October 19, 2009 in Palo 

Cedro, CA and October 22, 2009 in 

Redding, CA. FERC staff held public 

environmental site reviews of the 

project on October 20 and 21, 2009. The 

public meetings and environmental site 

reviews assisted staff in identifying the 

scope of the environmental issues that 

should be analyzed. The results of the 

scoping were extensive and indicate 

than an EIS should be prepared for this 

project rather than an EA, as staff had 

initially anticipated. The upcoming EIS 

will reflect input received at the scoping 

meetings and justify why staff has 

determined that an EIS should be 

prepared. 

Process 

The FERC staff will first issue and 

circulate a draft EIS to all of the 

interested parties for comment. All 

comments filed on the draft EIS will be 

analyzed by the FERC staff and 

considered in the final EIS pursuant to 

NEPA. The FERC staff will also hold a 

public meeting in California before 

issuing the final EIS. The staff’s 

conclusions and recommendations will 

then be presented for the consideration 

of the Commission in the order reaching 

its final decision.

Pacific Gas & Electric Company; 

Notice of Availability of Final 

Environmental Assessment 

February 19, 2010. 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 

amended, and the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission’s (Commission) 

regulations (18 CFR Part 380), 

Commission staff has prepared a Final 

Environmental Assessment (FEA) 

regarding Pacific Gas & Electric 

Company’s (PG&E) proposal to perform 

seismic remediation work at Crane 

Valley Dam, part of the Crane Valley 

Hydroelectric Project. The project 

occupies approximately 738 acres of 

federal lands within Sierra National 

Forest, approximately 40 miles 

northeast of the city of Fresno in 

Modesto County, California. Crane 

Valley Dam is located on North Fork 

Willow Creek, in the San Joaquin River 

Basin. The FEA analyzes the 

environmental effects of the seismic 

remediation proposal, PG&E’s resource 

protection and mitigation plans, and 

recommends further measures to 

minimize any environmental effects. 

The FEA concludes that the proposed 

seismic remediation and resource plans, 

with the recommended measures, 

would not constitute a major federal 

action significantly affecting the quality 

of the human environment. 

A copy of the FEA is available for 

review at the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room, or it may be viewed on
