  • 2025-03925 — Pacific Gas & Electric Company; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment
    Type:Notice

    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) has submitted an application to amend its license for the Battle Creek Hydroelectric Project to support a new phase of the Battle Creek Salmon and Steelhead Restoration Project. This new phase involves removing several diversion dams to help restore fish habitats but does not include one planned construction measure from earlier evaluations. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission staff plans to prepare an environmental assessment on these recent changes, with a report expected by April 7, 2025. Public participation is encouraged, and assistance is available through the Office of Public Participation.

    Simple Explanation

    PG&E wants to change their plan to make it easier for fish to swim in Battle Creek by taking away some small walls in the water, but they left out one thing they were going to build. The government team will write a report about this to understand what's happening, and they want people to join in and help out.
