DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 2997–031] 

South Sutter Water District; Notice of 

Material Amendment of License 

Application, Soliciting Comments and 

Associated Study Requests 

On July 1, 2019, South Sutter Water 

District (SSWD) filed, pursuant to 

sections 4(e) and 15 of the Federal 

Power Act, an application for a new 

major license to continue operating the 

Camp Far West Hydroelectric Project 

No. 2997 (Camp Far West Project) 

located on the Bear River in Yuba, 

Nevada, and Placer Counties, California. 

On July 8, 2019, Commission staff 

issued a Notice of Application Tendered 

for Filing with the Commission and 

Establishing Procedural Schedule for 

Licensing and Deadline for Submission 

of Final Amendments. On March 16, 

2021, Commission staff issued a Notice 

of Application Ready for Environmental 

Analysis and Soliciting Comments, 

Recommendations, Terms and 

Conditions, and Prescriptions. On 

December 28, 2023, SSWD filed an 

amendment to the license application. 

The Camp Far West Project currently 

occupies about 2,864 acres. No federal 

or tribal lands occur within or adjacent 

to the project boundary or along the 

Bear River downstream of the project. 

The project operates to primarily 

provide water during the irrigation 

season, generate power, and meet 

streamflow requirements for the Bear 

River. 

Existing project facilities include: (1) 

a 185-foot-high, 40-foot-wide, 2,070- 

foot-long, zoned, earth-filled main dam; 

(2) a 45-foot-high, 20-foot-wide, 1,060- 

foot-long, earth-filled south wing dam; 

(3) a 25-foot-high, 20-foot-wide, 1,460- 

foot-long earth-filled north wing dam; 

(4) a 15-foot-high, 20-foot-wide, 1,450- 

foot-long earth-filled dike; (5) a 1,886- 

acre reservoir with a gross storage 

capacity of about 93,737 acre-feet at the 

normal maximum water surface 

elevation (maximum water elevation) of 

300 feet (NGVD 29); (6) an overflow 

spillway with a 15-foot-wide concrete 

approach apron, 300-foot-long ungated, 

ogee-type concrete structure, and a 77- 

foot-long downstream concrete chute 

with concrete sidewalls; (7) a 1,200-footlong unlined rock channel that carries 

spill downstream to the Bear River; (8) 

a 22-foot-high concrete power intake 

tower with openings on three sides 

protected by steel trashracks; (9) a 760- 

foot-long, 8-foot-diameter concrete 

tunnel through the left abutment of the 

main dam that conveys water from the 

power intake to the powerhouse; (10) a 

steel-reinforced concrete powerhouse 

with a 6.8-megawatt vertical-shaft 

Francis-type turbine that discharges into 

the Bear River at the base of the main 

dam; (11) a 25.3-foot-high concrete 

vertical intake tower with openings on 

three sides protected by steel trashracks 

that receives water for the outlet works; 

(12) a 350-foot-long, 48-inch-diameter 

steel pipe that conveys water from the 

intake structure to a valve chamber for 

the outlet works; (13) a 400-foot-long, 

7.5-foot-diameter concrete-lined 

horseshoe tunnel that connects to the 

valve chamber; (14) a 48-inch-diameter 

outlet valve with a 500-cubic-feet-persecond release capacity at maximum 

water elevation on the downstream face 

of the main dam that discharges directly 

into the Bear River; (15) a switchyard 

adjacent to the powerhouse; (16) two 

recreation areas with campgrounds, dayuse areas, boat ramps, restrooms, and 

sewage holding ponds; and (17) a 

recreational water system that includes 

two pumps in the reservoir that deliver 

water to a treatment facility that is 

piped to a 60,000-gallon storage tank to 

supply water to recreation facilities. The 

estimated average annual generation 

(2010 to 2017) is 22,637 megawatthours. 

In its amended license application, 

SSWD proposes to: (1) raise the 

maximum water elevation of the project 

reservoir from 300 feet to 304.8 feet; (2) 

replace and restore several recreation 

facilities; (3) add an existing 0.25-mile 

road as a primary project road to access 

the project powerhouse and switchyard; 

and (4) modify the project boundary to 

account for (a) the removal of the 1.9- 

mile-long transmission line from the 

license in 1991, (b) corrections based on 

current project operation and 

maintenance, and (c) changes to project 

facilities. 

Additionally, to accommodate 

passage of the revised probable 

maximum flood (recalculated in 2005) 

and avoid overtopping the project dam, 

SSWD proposes to: (1) raise the crest of 

the existing spillway from an elevation 

of 300 feet to 304.8 feet; (2) construct a 

new reinforced-concrete secondary 

spillway consisting of an approximately 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 11 / Wednesday, January 17, 2024 / Notices 2943 

305-foot-long ungated ogee-type 

concrete structure and an unlined 300- 

foot-wide (at minimum) spillway inlet 

channel within the reservoir; (3) 

construct an 805-foot-long unlined rock 

channel that carries spill downstream to 

the existing overflow spillway channel; 

(4) construct a new 300-foot-long, paved 

bridge constructed of concrete girders 

with side concrete barriers and 

guardrails for vehicles to drive over the 

dam and along Blackford Road; (5) grade 

and raise the existing Blackford Road to 

accommodate the approach to the new 

bridge; and (6) relocate an existing 

powerline segment (non-project) to 

accommodate the new secondary 

spillway in coordination with Pacific 

Gas and Electric Company. 

Pursuant to 18 CFR 4.35(f)(1)(ii)(A), 

the license application as amended 

constitutes a material amendment. Due 

to the material amendment, the 

application is no longer ready for 

environmental analysis at this time. 

With this notice, we are soliciting

application as well as study requests. 

The deadline for filing comments and 

study requests is 60 days from the 

issuance date of this notice.
