          - [Project No. 6634-003]

                    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC) regulations, 18 CFR part 380, Commission staff reviewed Shasta Meadow, Inc.'s application for surrender of exemption for the Prather Creek Hydroelectric Project No. 6634 and have prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed surrender.[1]                                          The exemptee proposes to leave all project works secured in place including the powerhouse and generator. The project is non-operational and no water flows through the penstock. No ground disturbing activities are proposed with surrender of the project exemption. The project is located on private land on Prather Creek in Siskiyou County, California.                

The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential environmental effects of surrendering the exemption and concludes that the proposed surrender, would not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
