[Project No. 2106—047–California]
Pacific Gas and Electric; Notice of Site
Visit
(August 23, 2006).
On September 19 and September 20,
2006, the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (Commission) Staff and
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, the
applicant, will conduct an on-site visit
of the McCloud-Pit Project located on
the McCloud and Pit Rivers in Shasta
County, California. Under the Integrated
Licensing Process (ILP), the Commission
conducts its National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) scoping meeting
within 90 days of the filing of the
applicant’s Notice of Intent and PreApplication Document. A site visit is
typically held in conjunction with that
scoping meeting; however, scoping for
this project is currently planned for
October 23 and 24, 2006 and access to
some project facilities may be limited by
weather conditions. For this reason, the
Commission will host the site visit
earlier in the process. The Commission
encourages all interested parties to
participate in this site visit to ensure a
productive scoping meeting in October
2006.
The site visit is open to the public and
resource agencies. Participants are
responsible for their own transportation,
but car pooling is encouraged as much
as possible. Some roads in upper
watershed locations are unpaved and
may be in poor condition—4-wheel
drive is recommended, but not required.
Also, portions of the tour may require
hiking steep trails in remote locations,
so please plan accordingly. Tour days
may be long, so please bring food and
water. A tentative schedule is provided
below (times given are in Pacific
Daylight Savings):
