South Feather Water and Power Agency; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

May 20, 2010.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 
as amended, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, (18 CFR Part 380), Commission staff has prepared an 
environmental assessment (EA) regarding South Feather Water and Power 
Agency's (SFWPA) request to raise the dam crest and modify the spillway 
at Sly Creek Dam, part of the Sly Creek development of the South 
Feather Power Project (FERC No. 2088). Sly Creek is located on Sly 
Creek

[[Page 30014]]

Reservoir, which receives water from Lost Creek, and the Slate Creek 
and South Fork Feather River diversion tunnels in Butte, Yuba and 
Plumas counties, California.
    SFWPA's Proposed Action includes: (1) Raising Sly Creek Dam 
approximately 10 feet through the use of mechanically stabilized earth 
walls constructed from approximately 20,000 cubic yards of fill from an 
onsite borrow area; (2) modifying the spillway crest structure; (3) 
replacing the spill gate; and (4) altering roadway approaches to the 
Sly Creek Dam crest and re-paving the road to improve drainage 
conditions in the adjacent campground and borrow site.
    The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of the Proposed Action and concludes that the 
Proposed Action, with the implementation of environmental protective 
measures, 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's Public 
Reference Room, or it may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at 
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket 
number (P-2088) in the docket number field to access the document. 
Additional information about the project is available from the 
Commission's Web site using the eLibrary link. For assistance with
