The Camp Far West Project is located on the Bear River in Yuba, Nevada, and Placer Counties, California. No Federal or Tribal lands occur within or adjacent to the project boundary or along the Bear River downstream of the project. In accordance with the Commission’s regulations, on September 5, 2024, Commission staff issued a notice that the project was ready for environmental analysis (REA Notice). Based on the information in the record, including comments filed in response to the REA Notice, staff does not anticipate that licensing the project would constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. Therefore, staff intends to prepare a draft and final Environmental Assessment (EA) on the application to relicense the Camp Far West Project.1 The EA will be issued and circulated for review by all interested parties. All comments filed on the EA will be analyzed by staff and considered in the Commission’s final licensing decision.

OPP can help members of the public, including landowners, environmental justice communities, Tribal members and others, access publicly available information and navigate Commission processes.
