Commission 

[Project No. 96–048] 

Pacific Gas and Electric Company; 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment 

On November 24, 2020, Pacific Gas 

and Electric Company (PG&E) filed a 

relicense application for the 162.72- 

megawatt Kerckhoff Hydroelectric 

Project No. 96 (project). The project is 

located on the San Juaquin River in 

Fresno and Madera Counties, California, 

about 25 miles northeast of the city of 

Fresno. The project currently occupies 

180.5 acres of Federal land administered 

by the U.S. Forest Service (Forest 

Service), 92.9 acres of Federal land 

managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM), and 54.7 acres of 

land managed by the U.S. Bureau of 

Reclamation (BOR). As proposed, the 

project would occupy 67.2 less acres of 

Federal land administered by the Forest 

Service, an additional 3.1 acres of land 

managed by the BLM, and an additional 

1.8 acre of land managed by the BOR. 

As part of its relicensing proposal, PG&E 

proposes to retire the project K1 

Powerhouse (one of two project 

powerhouses), thereby decreasing the 

generating capacity of the project from 

162.72 to 140 megawatts. 

In accordance with the Commission’s 

regulations, on June 27, 2024, 

Commission staff issued a notice that 

the project was ready for environmental 

analysis (REA Notice). Based on the 

information in the record, including 

comments filed on the REA Notice, staff 

does not anticipate that licensing the 

project would constitute a major Federal 

action significantly affecting the quality 

of the human environment. Therefore, 

staff intends to prepare an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) on the 

application to relicense the project.1

The EA will be issued and circulated 

for review by all interested parties. All 

comments filed on the EA will be 

analyzed by staff and considered in the 

Commission’s final licensing decision. 

The Commission’s Office of Public 

Participation (OPP) supports meaningful

members of the public, including 

landowners, environmental justice 

communities, Tribal members and 

others, access publicly available 

information and navigate Commission 

processes. For public inquiries and 

assistance with making filings such as 

interventions, comments, or requests for 

rehearing, the public is encouraged to 

contact OPP at (202) 502–6595 or OPP@

ferc.gov. 

The application will be processed 

according to the following schedule. 

The EA will be issued for a 30-day 

comment period. Revisions to the 

schedule may be made as appropriate.
