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 by the Northern California Power Agency (licensee) on May 26, 2010, and supplemented on July 11 and August 9, 2010, requesting Commission approval to temporarily amend the license for the Upper Utica Project, FERC No. 11563. The licensee seeks Commission approval to partially draw down Lake Alpine and deviate from the minimum reservoir surface elevation and minimum water volume requirements of the project license in order to facilitate repairs to the lowlevel outlet works. The Environmental Assessment (EA) analyzes the environmental impacts of the proposed activities and concludes that approval of the application, with appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The project is located on Silver Creek and the North Fork Stanislaus River, in Tuolumne and Alpine Counties, California. The EA was written by staff in the Office of Energy Projects, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. A copy of the EA is attached to a Commission order titled ‘‘Order Approving Temporary License Amendment,’’ issued August 31, 2010, and is on file with the Commission and is available for public inspection. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission’s Web site at https://www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.

The licensee requests permission to revise the schedule for management of lake levels (rule curve) to maintain the lake at the summer level until November 1 in order to facilitate late-season recreation. The licensee also proposes to maintain the lake at its annual low from January 15 until February 1 of each year in order to provide a period for adjacent landowners to work on permitted encroachments. The licensee states that it would vary from article 407 to perform necessary maintenances, safely manage flood flows, during operating emergencies, and to meet minimum flow requirements under article 408. The project is located on the Saluda River in Greenwood, Laurens, and Newberry Counties, South Carolina. The project does not occupy any federal lands. The EA evaluates the environmental impacts that would result from approving the licensee’s proposal to amend article 407 of the project license. The EA finds that approval of the 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 August 31, 2010, and is on file with the Commission and is available for public inspection.
