[Project No. 77–110]

Pacific Gas and Electric Company;

Notice of Technical Workshop on

Action Alternatives, Water Rights, and

Water Balance Modeling

July 16, 1998.

On May 5, 1998, the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission (Commission)

issued notice of a site visit and scoping

meetings pursuant to the preparation of

an Environmental Impact Statement

(EIS) in support of the Commission’s

decision on a proposed amendment to

the license for the Potter Valley Project

(PVP; FERC No. 77–110). The proposed

amendment involves changes in the

minimum flow requirements at the

project, consisting of increased releases

to the Eel River, which would result in

overall decreased diversions to the

Russian River. The PVP is licensed to

Pacific Gas and Electric Company

(PG&E) and is located in Lake and

Mendocino counties. California.

The purpose of this notice is to advise

all parties of a technical workshop that

will be held to obtain additional

information on the proposed

amendment, its relationship to existing

water rights, and available modeling

approaches to evaluate water balances

between the two river basins. This

technical workshop will be held at the

Ukiah Valley Conference Center, 200 S.

School Street, Ukiah, California, on

August 11, 1998, from 9 am to 5 pm. All

interested parties are invited to attend.

Three subjects will be covered at the

workshop: (1) PG&E’s recently

completed Implementation Plan

associated with the proposed license

amendment; (2) existing water rights in

the Eel and Russian rivers; and (3)

comparison of three alternative water

balance models that have been

identified in filings for this proceeding.

The first half of the workshop will

consist of presentations by staff from

PG&E, speaking on their

Implementation Plan, and by staff from

the California State Water Resources

Control Board, speaking on water rights

issues. The second half of the workshop

will consist of presentations by the three

parties offering different water balance

models: PG&E, the Round Valley Tribes,

and the Sonoma County Water Agency,

followed by discussion of the models.

The goals of these discussions are to

understand the relative differences

among the models and to attempt to

achieve consensus on the best available
