Commission

[Project No. 2310–113]

Pacific Gas & Electric Company;

Notice of Availability of Environmental

Assessment

May 23, 2001.

An environmental assessment (EA) is

available for public review. The EA was

prepared for Pacific Gas & Electric’s

(licensee) application for the DrumSpaulding Project to lower the spillway

of the Rock Creek Dam by 2.5 feet to

accommodate a Probable Maximum

Flood event of 2,200 cubic feet per

second.

In summary, the EA examines the

environmental impacts of: (1) licensee’s

proposed action: lowering the Rock

Creek Dam spillway 2.5 feet; and (2) noaction. These alternatives are described

in detail in the EA.

The EA concludes that the licensee’s

proposal to lower the Rock Creek Dam

spillway 2.5 feet is the preferred

alternative. The EA concludes that

implementation of this alternative

would not constitute a major federal

action significantly affecting the quality

of the human environment.

This EA was written by staff in the

Office of Energy Projects (OEP). Copies

of the EA can be obtained by contacting
