[Project No. 2174-012-California]
Southern California Edison; Notice of Availability of Draft
Environmental Assessment
August 4, 2005.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969,
as amended, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission
or FERC) regulations (18 CFR part 380), Commission staff has reviewed
the application for license for the Portal Hydroelectric Project (FERC
No. 2174-012) and has prepared a draft environmental assessment (DEA).
The project is located on Camp 61 Creek and Rancheria Creek in Fresno
County, California.
The DEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential
environmental effects of the project and concludes that licensing the
project, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not
constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the
quality of the human environment.
Copies of the DEA are available for review in Public Reference Room
2-A of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE., Washington,
DC. The DEA also may be viewed on the Commission's Internet Web site
(http://www.ferc.gov)
using the ``eLibrary'' link. Additional
information about the project is available from the Commission's Office
of External Affairs, at (202) 502-6088, or on the Commission's Web site
using the eLibrary link.
Any comments on the DEA should be filed within 30 days of the date
of this notice and should be addressed to Magalie R. Salas, Secretary,
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426. Please reference ``Portal Hydroelectric Project,
FERC Project No. 2174-012'' on all comments. Comments may be filed
electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the
[[Page 46836]]
Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing'' link.
Linda Mitry,
Deputy Secretary.
