The Plan has been prepared in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Relicensing Settlement Agreement for the UARP (2007) and the new FERC License issued on July 23, 2014. See Appendix B for applicable License language. 1.1 Scope and Content of the Plan The Plan has been prepared in consultation with the United States Forest Service (USFS) and other agencies and interested parties, as required by the FERC License. The Plan must be approved by the USFS and subsequently implemented by SMUD. The sections below describe the consultation process and the content of the Plan. 1.1.1 Consultation In September 2014 SMUD presented the approach to completing the Plan to the Settlement Agreement Consultation Group, which includes the Eldorado National Forest (ENF). At the meeting SMUD solicited feedback from the group on the approach. Discussion items included the USFS desire to include photos of all facilities; whether recreation-related facilities should be included; whether quarries and stockpile sites should be included; and tying visual resource protection measures to this Plan. Based on the language in Condition 58, the plan is for Project facilities only, not recreation facilities; therefore, the Plan does not cover recreation facilities because they are addressed by other License conditions related to recreation projects (Conditions 41, 42, 44 and 45). In addition, Section 5.3.8 of the License application describes in detail the existing recreation facilities associated with the Project. Also, since SMUD does not directly manage or maintain the recreation facilities associated with the UARP, including them in this Facilities Management Plan is not appropriate. The USFS agreed with this approach. SMUD agreed to provide construction as-built drawings for the recreation facilities it has built over the years if requested by the USFS. SMUD also met with the USFS on January 20, 2015 to discuss the plan and solicit additional feedback. Notes from this meeting are capture in an email and included in the consultation record. Sacramento Municipal Utility District Upper American River Project 1 FERC Project No. 2101 Facilities Management Plan June 2015 1.1.2 Content of Plan Section 1 of the Plan begins with an introduction that describes the purpose and scope of the plan. Important elements of the introduction include the 4(e) Condition language, an overview description of the Project and summary of consultations with USFS. Section 2, Existing Conditions, contains an overview of SMUD’s facilities, following the basic outline and structure of Exhibit A of the License Application (SMUD 2005). Pertinent information about SMUD’s UARP facilities is summarized in Table 1 in Section 2. Section 3, describes SMUD’s commitment to maintenance and repair of facilities and the current condition of facilities. Section 4 summarizes (Table 2) planned maintenance or removal/replacement of existing structures and facilities in the first 5 years from the date of approval of this Plan. Section 5 summarizes the Plan and describes the process of updating the plan every 5 years, as required, including a process to inform the USFS of planned facility maintenance. Based on consultation with the USFS, a photographic guide to SMUD facilities has been prepared and is contained in Appendix A at the end of this plan. Photographs of most of SMUD’s facilities have been captured in this guide; however, in some cases only representative photos are shown for a type of facility. These include facilities like transmission towers and meteorological stations, which are numerous and similar looking. Table 1 includes a column identifying the photo number for each facility. Condition 58 requires this Plan to include a map of all Project facilities on USFS or Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands. Figure 1A-1H is a map of all Project facilities on USFS or BLM lands as required by the License condition. The condition also requires the Plan to identify the type and season of use of each facility, as well as the condition of each structure and any planned maintenance or removal of facilities. Tables 1 and 2 summarize all of the required 4(e) information. Quarries and stockpile sites will be shown on maps but management of these sites will be discussed more thoroughly in the Vegetation Management Plan since controlling

These seven developments occupy 6,190 acres of federal land within the Eldorado National Forest and 54 acres of federal land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The proposed The Iowa Hill Development will be located in El Dorado County and will occupy 185 acres of federal land within the Eldorado National Forest. Due to the proximity of the Chili Bar Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2155) under licensee Pacific Gas & Electric Company(PG&E) located immediately downstream of the Upper American Project on the South Fork American River (and also under-going re-licensing), both projects were the subject of a collaborative proceeding and settlement negotiations. The current seven developments include Loon Lake, Robbs Peak, Jones Fork, Union Valley, Jaybird, Camino, and Slab Creek/White Rock. White Rock Powerhouse discharges into the South Fork American River just upstream of Chili Bar Reservoir. In addition to generation-related facilities, the project also includes 47 recreation areas that include campgrounds, day use facilities, boat launches, trails, and a scenic overlook.

T \ Preface The Eldorado National Forest lies in the central Sierra Nevada. Forest land is situated entirely on the western slope of the mountain range between the foothills of the Mother Lode and the Sierra crest. Forest vegetation changes from chaparral brush and oak woodland at lower elevations to alplne growth and barren rock near the sumnut. Dense pine, mlxed confer, and red fir tunber stands dominate the mid-elevation landscape. The Eldorado is a highly diversified, productive Forest.

  • El Dorado County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
    El Dorado County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan July 2018 Adopted by FEMA, March 2019 EDC Board Of Supervisor's Adoption, April 23, 2019 This Page Left Intentionally Blank Executive Summary The purpose of hazard mitigation is to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from hazards. El Dorado County developed this Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) update to make the County and its residents less vulnerable to future hazard events. This plan was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 so that El Dorado County would be eligible for the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Pre-Disaster Mitigation and Hazard Mitigation Grant programs. The County followed a planning process prescribed by FEMA, which began with the formation of a hazard mitigation planning committee (HMPC) comprised of key County representatives, and other regional stakeholders. The HMPC conducted a risk assessment that identified and profiled hazards that pose a risk to the County, assessed the County’s vulnerability to these hazards, and examined the capabilities in place to mitigate them. The County is vulnerable to several hazards that are identified, profiled, and analyzed in this plan. Floods, levee failures, wildfires, and severe weather are among the hazards that can have a significant impact on the County. Based on the risk assessment, the HMPC identified goals and objectives for reducing the County’s vulnerability to hazards. The goals and objectives of this multi-hazard mitigation plan are: Goal 1: Minimize risk and vulnerability of El Dorado County to the impacts of natural hazards and protect lives and reduce damages and losses to property, economy, public health and safety, and the environment.
