Orange Cove Irrigation District; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

October 16, 2006.
    An environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review. 
The EA was prepared for an application filed by the Orange Cove 
Irrigation District (licensee) on April 19, 2006, requesting Commission 
approval of an amendment of license for the Fishwater Release Project 
to add a powerhouse with a single turbine generator with a capacity of 
1.8 megawatts. The new powerhouse would utilize flow releases from the 
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Friant Dam and would only generate power 
after flows for fish hatchery and existing powerhouse demands are met.
    The EA evaluates the environmental impacts that would result from 
approving the licensee's proposed additional generating capacity. Some 
ground disturbance would occur but impacts to the terrestrial and 
aquatic environments are expected to be minor and short term. The EA 
finds that approval of the amendment application would not constitute a 
major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment.
    A copy of the EA is attached to a Commission order titled ``Order 
Amending License'', issued October 13, 2006, and is available in the 
Commission's Public Reference Room. A copy of the EA may also be viewed 
on the Commission's Web site at https://www.ferc.gov using the
