Pacific Gas and Electric Company;
Notice of Availability of Environmental
Assessment
March 12, 2009.
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended, and the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission’s regulations,
18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR
47879), the Commission has reviewed
an application, filed March 6, 2008,
requesting approval to temporarily
amend article 52 of the Potter Valley
Project license. The project is located on
the Eel River and the East Branch
Russian River in Lake and Mendocino
Counties, California.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company
(licensee for the Potter Valley Project)
requested approval to divert additional
water from the Eel River to the East
Branch Russian River in the same
manner as authorized previously by the
Commission in an order titled, Order
Granting Temporary Amendment of
License Article 52, issued March 13,
2008. The request, if granted, would
provide frost protection from March 15–
April 14, 2009 while the Commission
continues its review of the licensee’s
long-term frost protection plan.
The attached environmental
assessment (EA), prepared by
Commission staff in the Office of Energy
Projects, analyzed the probable
environmental effects of the proposed
temporary amendment and has
concluded that approval 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 or may be
viewed on the Commission’s Web site at
https://www.ferc.gov using the
