California Department of Water Resources; Notice of Availability 
and Adoption of Final Environmental Assessment

    Pending before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
(Commission) is an application filed by the California Department of 
Water Resources (licensee) for a non-capacity amendment for the Feather 
River Hydroelectric Project No. 2100. The licensee is proposing to make 
improvements to an existing recreation area, including a campground, 
day-use area, and boat launch, at the Oroville Wildlife Area adjacent 
to the Thermalito Afterbay.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
(NEPA), the Commission's regulations at 18 CFR part 380, Commission 
staff have decided to adopt the Environmental Assessment (EA) reviewed 
and by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) for the proposed 
work.\1\ In determining whether to adopt the EA, Commission staff 
independently reviewed the EA. The actions analyzed by the Corps are 
essentially the same as those being proposed in the licensee's 
application, and therefore, Commission staff concludes that the EA 
adequately assesses the environmental impacts of the proposed action 
and can be adopted. Commission staff also agrees with the Corps' 
finding that the proposed work is not a major federal action 
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.

this environmental review is: EAXX-019-20-000-1778592430.

    The licensee is working in conjunction with its partner agency the 
Sutter Butte Flood Control Agency to construct recreation improvements 
at the existing Oroville Wildlife Area within the Feather River 
Hydroelectric Project's boundary adjacent to the Themalito Afterbay 
outlet. The EA reviewed by the Corps titled ``Final Environmental 
Assessment for the Oroville Wildlife Area Themalito Recreation 
Improvements Project'' can be viewed in the licensee's supplement filed 
in the Commission's eLibrary system on February 27, 2026, under docket 
P-2100 and is being reissued concurrent with this notice.
