the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (Commission) regulations,
18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR
47897), the Office of Energy Projects has
reviewed an application submitted by
Pacific Gas and Electric Company
(licensee) to allow Placer County Water
Agency (PCWA), the use of DrumSpaulding Hydroelectric Project No.
2310 project lands and water within the
project boundary on South Canal for the
construction of a raw water intake
facility (facility). The Drum-Spaulding
Hydroelectric Project is located on the
Upper Yuba and Bear Rivers in Nevada
and Placer counties, California. The
project occupies federal lands
administered by the U.S. Forest Service,
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and U.S.
Bureau of Land Management.
An Environmental Assessment (EA)
has been prepared as part of
Commission staff’s review of the
proposal. In the application, the

licensee proposes to allow PCWA to
construct a raw water intake facility on
South Canal. Once constructed and
operable, PCWA would use the facility
as a redundant water withdrawal
location to other withdrawal points
within the project that it owns and
operates, withdrawing up to 62 million
gallons of water per day from the project
through the proposed facility. Because
the proposed facility would be a
redundant withdrawal location, water
withdrawn from the proposed facility
would not represent an increase in
water withdrawn from the project than
what is already occurring. Following
construction of the facility, PCWA
would make minor repairs to an existing
storm drain on the bank side of South
Canal. This EA contains Commission
staff’s analysis of the probable
environmental impacts of the
construction and operation of the
proposed facility, as well as the minor

approval of the proposal would not
constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment.
The EA is available for electronic
review and reproduction at the
Commission’s Public Reference Room,
located at 888 First Street NE, Room 2A,
