DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2100-184]
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.
