[Project No. 2687 California]

Pacific Gas and Electric Company;

Notice of Availability of Draft

Environmental Assessment

May 27, 1998.

In accordance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and

the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission’s (Commission’s)

regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No.

486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of

Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the

application for relicensing of the Pit 1

Project, located in the towns of Fall

River Mills and McArthur, California,

and has prepared a draft Environmental

Assessment (DEA) for the project. In the

DEA, the Commission’s staff has

analyzed the potential environmental

impacts of the existing project and has

concluded that approval of the project,

with appropriate environmental

protection measures, would not

constitute a major federal action

significantly affecting the quality of the

human environment.

Copies of the DEA are available for

review in the Public Reference Branch,

Room 2–A, of the Commission’s offices

at 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC
