Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No 77–222] 

Pacific Gas and Electric Company; 

Notice of Availability of Environmental 

Assessment 

March 12, 2009. 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 

amended, and the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission’s regulations, 

18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 

47879), the Commission has reviewed 

an application, filed March 6, 2008, 

requesting approval to temporarily 

amend article 52 of the Potter Valley 

Project license. The project is located on 

the Eel River and the East Branch 

Russian River in Lake and Mendocino 

Counties, California. 

Pacific Gas and Electric Company 

(licensee for the Potter Valley Project) 

requested approval to divert additional 

water from the Eel River to the East 

Branch Russian River in the same 

manner as authorized previously by the 

Commission in an order titled, Order 

Granting Temporary Amendment of 

License Article 52, issued March 13, 

2008. The request, if granted, would 

provide frost protection from March 15– 

April 14, 2009 while the Commission 

continues its review of the licensee’s 

long-term frost protection plan. 

The attached environmental 

assessment (EA), prepared by 

Commission staff in the Office of Energy 

Projects, analyzed the probable 

environmental effects of the proposed 

temporary amendment and has 

concluded that approval would not 

constitute a major Federal action 

significantly affecting the quality of the 

human environment. 

A copy of the EA is available for 

review at the Commission or may be 

viewed on the Commission’s Web site at 

http://www.ferc.gov using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket 

number excluding the last three digits in 

the docket number field to access 

documents. For assistance, contact
