Commission 

[Project No. 2997–031] 

South Sutter Water District; Notice of 

Intent To Prepare an Environmental 

Assessment 

On July 1, 2019, South Sutter Water 

District (SSWD) filed an application for 

a major, new license for the 6.8- 

megawatt Camp Far West Hydroelectric 

Project No. 2997 (Camp Far West 

Project), which was amended on 

December 28, 2023. The Camp Far West 

Project is located on the Bear River in 

Yuba, Nevada, and Placer Counties, 

California. No Federal or Tribal lands 

occur within or adjacent to the project 

boundary or along the Bear River 

downstream of the project. 

In accordance with the Commission’s 

regulations, on September 5, 2024, 

Commission staff issued a notice that 

the project was ready for environmental 

analysis (REA Notice). Based on the 

information in the record, including 

comments filed in response to the REA 

Notice, staff does not anticipate that 

licensing the project would constitute a 

major Federal action significantly 

affecting the quality of the human 

environment. Therefore, staff intends to 

prepare a draft and final Environmental 

Assessment (EA) on the application to 

relicense the Camp Far West Project.1

The EA will be issued and circulated 

for review by all interested parties. All 

comments filed on the EA will be 

analyzed by staff and considered in the 

Commission’s final licensing decision. 

The Commission’s Office of Public 

Participation (OPP) supports meaningful 

public engagement and participation in 

Commission proceedings. OPP can help 

members of the public, including 

landowners, environmental justice 

communities, Tribal members and 

others, access publicly available 

information and navigate Commission 

processes. For public inquiries and 

assistance with making filings such as 

interventions, comments, or requests for 

rehearing, the public is encouraged to 

contact OPP at (202) 502–6595 or OPP@

ferc.gov. 

The application will be processed 

according to the following schedule. 

Revisions to the schedule may be made 

as appropriate.2
