    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION Pacific Gas and Electric Company, California Project No. 803-087 NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT (July 24, 2009) In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 F.R. 47879), the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for a new license for the DeSabla-Centerville Hydroelectric Project (project), located on Butte Creek in Butte County, California, and has prepared a final environmental assessment (final EA). In the final EA, Commission staff analyze the potential environmental effects of relicensing the project and conclude that issuing a new license for the project, with appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. A copy of the final EA is on file with the Commission and is available for public inspection. The final EA may also be viewed on the Commission’s website at http://www.ferc.gov using the “eLibrary” link.

  • Aquatic and Riparian Resources
    Aquatic and Riparian Resources AQUATIC AND RIPARIAN RESOURCES Abstract: Waters originating on the Forest provide for many, and often conflicting uses. Many people depend on the Forest to supply water for municipal use and irrigation. Streams and riparian areas provide favored recreation sites for anglers, campers, rafters, and other recreationists. The same streams and riparian areas also provide habitat for a variety of aquatic and terrestrial plants and animals. There are 1,937 miles of perennial streams and 476 lakes on the Forest. These vary from nearly pristine water bodies in wilderness areas to streams that have been heavily impacted by human activities including timber harvest, grazing, road construction, and mining. Native fish populations have been affected by habitat modification and by the introduction of nonnative fish. Seven species of fish have been identified as management indicators for the Forests and Grassland. A revised watershed condition assessment conducted for the FEIS assessment indicates that of the 177 watersheds on the Forest, 41 were rated as functional, 87 were rated at risk, and 19 were rated nonfunctional. Thirty watersheds with less than 10 percent NFS lands were not rated. Ln addition, 12 stream segments are listed by the State of Colorado as having impairment of designated uses. Watershed conservation practices and Forest Plan standards and guidelines prescribe extensive measures to protect aquatic and riparian resources. If all applicable measures are implemented and if they are effective, adverse effects from any of the alternatives should be minimized. However, as levels of activity increase, the risk that conservation practices will not be properly implemented or will not be entirely effective increases.
