Pacific Gas & Electric Company;
Notice of Availability of Supplemental
Environmental Assessment
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 prepared a
Supplemental Environmental
Assessment (SEA), to supplement the
Final EA that was issued on February
19, 2010 regarding Pacific Gas & Electric
Company’s (PG&E) proposal to perform
Commission-required seismic
remediation work at Crane Valley Dam,
part of the Crane Valley Hydroelectric
Project. The Crane Valley Project
occupies approximately 738 acres of
federal lands within the Sierra National
Forest, and is located approximately 40
miles northeast of the city of Fresno in
Madera County, California. PG&E is
currently performing the seismic
remediation work and supporting
activities analyzed in the February 19,
2010 Final EA.
PG&E is proposing two new
contingency actions that are necessary
to ensure that the seismic work at Crane
Valley Dam can be completed in a
timely manner. First, PG&E proposes to
increase the amount of imported rock
fill hauled from off-site quarries to
ensure an adequate supply of quality
rock for completion of the work.
Second, PG&E proposes to install, and
operate on an as-needed basis, a primary
bypass diversion to pass water around
the dam to assist in reservoir level
control during work on the upstream
face of the dam, as well as a minimum
flow bypass diversion to ensure

continuation of required minimum flow
releases.
The SEA examines the environmental
effects of PG&E’s proposed contingency
actions and resource protection and
mitigation plans that PG&E would
follow in accordance with consultation
with federal and state resource agencies,
and also recommends further measures
to minimize any environmental effects.
In the SEA, staff concludes that the
proposed contingency actions,
compliance with the resource protection
and mitigation plans, and the
recommended measures, would not
constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment.
A copy of the SEA is available for
review at the Commission’s Public
Reference Room, or it may be viewed on
the Commission’s Web site at https://
www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.
