The project is located on Silver Creek and the Rubicon and South Fork American Rivers in El Dorado and Sacramento counties, VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:43 May 05, 2015 Jkt 235001 California. The project occupies federal lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management and by the U.S. Forest Service within the Eldorado National Forest. The application, filed with the Commission on August 27, 2014, contains an Environmental Analysis in its Exhibit E (pages 49–143). On April 20, 2015, the licensee filed a supplemental biological resource analysis to its application. In staff’s independent review of the licensee’s Exhibit E and the April 20, 2015 supplement, staff has decided to adopt the licensee’s Environmental Analysis and issue it as staff’s Environmental Assessment (EA). The EA analyzes the potential environmental impacts of the project plus the proposed mitigation measures and concludes that granting the amendment to licensing would not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
