l. The existing Camp Far West 

Hydroelectric Project operates to 

provide water during the irrigation 

season, generate power, and meet 

streamflow requirements for the Bear 

River. The project includes: (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 north 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-foot-long,

foot-high, concrete, power intake tower 

with openings on three sides protected 

by steel trashracks; (9) a 25-foot-4-inchhigh, concrete, intake tower with 

openings on three sides, each of which 

is protected by steel trashracks that 

receives water for the outlet works; (10) 

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; (11) a 

steel-reinforced, concrete powerhouse 

with a 6.8-megawatt, vertical-shaft, 

Francis-type turbine, which discharges 

to the Bear River at the base of the main 

dam; (12) a 350-foot-long, 48-inchdiameter 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 concretelined horseshoe tunnel that connects to 

the valve chamber; (14) a 48-inchdiameter, outlet valve with a capacity of 

500 cubic feet per second that 

discharges directly into the Bear River; 

(15) a fenced switchyard adjacent to the 

powerhouse; (16) two recreation areas 

with campgrounds, day-use areas, boat 

ramps, restrooms, and sewage holding 

ponds; and (17) a water system that 

includes two pumps in the reservoir 

delivering water to a treatment facility 

that is piped to a 60,000-gallon storage 

tank to supply water to recreation 

facilities. The project has no 

transmission facilities. The estimated 

average annual generation (1976 to 

2014) is 20,381 megawatt-hours. 

South Sutter Water District proposes 

to: (1) raise the normal maximum water 

surface elevation (NMWSE) of the 

project reservoir by approximately 5 feet 

from an elevation of 300 feet to an 

elevation of 304.8 feet; (2) raise the crest 

of the existing spillway from an 

elevation of 300 feet to an elevation of 

304.8 feet to accommodate the proposed 

pool raise; (3) construct an ogee-type 

weir secondary spillway structure at an 

elevation of 304.8 feet; (4) excavate a 

new unlined spillway inlet channel to 

divert water from the reservoir into the 

new secondary spillway; (5) construct a 

new 805-foot-long unlined outlet 

channel to convey water back from the 

secondary spillway to the existing 

spillway; (6) construct a 300-foot-long 

bridge to provide access to the 

secondary spillway and allow vehicles 

to pass over the dam and along 

Blackford Road; (7) modify the existing 

Blackford Road by raising the west end 

15 feet to accommodate the approach to 

the new bridge; (8) relocate, reroute, or 

realign approximately 104 recreation 

facilities and replacement or 

rehabilitation of recreation facilities to 

maintain their proper functioning 

condition; (9) add an existing 0.25-mile 

road as a primary project road to access 

the powerhouse and switchyard; and 

(10) modify the project boundary to 

account for: the removal of the 1.9-milelong transmission line from the license 

in 1991; corrections based on current 

project operation and maintenance; and 

changes to the project boundary to 

account for the new reservoir surface 

level.
