Pacific Gas and Electric Company; 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment 

On November 15, 2023, the Pacific 

Gas and Electric Company (licensee) 

filed an application for a non-capacity 

amendment at the Tiger Creek regulator 

dam of the Mokelumne River 

Hydroelectric Project No. 137. The dam 

is located on Tiger Creek in Amador 

County, California. 

The licensee proposes to construct a 

new 240-foot-long, 40-foot-wide 

concrete spillway and plunge pool at 

the right abutment of the Tiger Creek 

regulator dam. As part of the proposal, 

the licensee would construct a spoil 

area, and a temporary and permanent 

access road at the dam site which would 

be closed to the public during 

construction. The licensee also intends 

to develop a staging and spoils area on 

Doakes Ridge approximately 0.7 miles

southwest of the dam site and place a 

staging area and concrete batch plant on 

state route 88 in Pioneer, California. 

State route 88 and Tiger Creek Road 

between Pioneer and the dam site 

would be used as a haul route. The 

existing spillway would be abandoned 

in place. The licensee expects 

construction to take approximately 2 

years. 

On July 26, 2024, the Commission 

issued a public notice for the proposed 

amendment. On August 2, August 5, 

and August 20, 2024, the California 

Department of Fish and Wildlife, the 

California State Water Resources 

Control Board, and the U.S. Department 

of the Interior filed notices of 

intervention, respectively. 

This notice identifies Commission 

staff’s intention to prepare an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

project.1 The planned schedule for the 

completion of the EA is June 18, 2025. 

Revisions to the schedule may be made 

as appropriate. The EA will be issued 

and made available for review by all 

interested parties during a 30-day public 

comment period. All comments filed on 

the EA will be reviewed by staff and 

considered in the Commission’s final 

decision on the proceeding.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Executive Summary 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

This action provides information that 

is directed to the public in general. 

B. What action is the Agency taking? 

This document lists the statements of 

findings made by EPA after review of 

submissions under TSCA section 5(a) 

that certain new chemical substances or 

significant new uses are not likely to 

present an unreasonable risk of injury to 

health or the environment. This 

document presents statements of 

findings made by EPA during the 

reporting period. 

C. What is the Agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

TSCA section 5(a)(3) requires EPA to 

review a submission under TSCA 

section 5(a) and make one of several 

specific findings pertaining to whether 

the substance may present unreasonable 

risk of injury to health or the 

environment. Among those potential 

findings is that the chemical substance 

or significant new use is not likely to 

present an unreasonable risk of injury to 

health or the environment per TSCA 

section 5(a)(3)(C). 

TSCA section 5(g) requires EPA to 

publish in the Federal Register a 

statement of its findings after its review 

of a submission under TSCA section 

5(a) when EPA makes a finding that a 

new chemical substance or significant 

new use is not likely to present an 

unreasonable risk of injury to health or 

the environment. Such statements apply 

to PMNs, MCANs, and SNUNs 

submitted to EPA under TSCA section 

5. 

Anyone who plans to manufacture 

(which includes import) a new chemical 

substance for a non-exempt commercial 

purpose and any manufacturer or 

processor wishing to engage in a use of 

a chemical substance designated by EPA 

as a significant new use must submit a 

notice to EPA at least 90 days before 

commencing manufacture of the new 

chemical substance or before engaging 

in the significant new use. 

The submitter of a notice to EPA for 

which EPA has made a finding of ‘‘not 

likely to present an unreasonable risk of 

injury to health or the environment’’ 

may commence manufacture of the 

chemical substance or manufacture or 

processing for the significant new use 

notwithstanding any remaining portion 

of the applicable review period. 

D. Does this action have any 

incremental economic impacts or 

paperwork burdens? 

No.
