The South Sutter Water District submitted an application for a new license for the Camp Far West Hydroelectric Project, which was updated in December 2023. It's situated on the Bear River in California. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission announced that an Environmental Assessment (EA) will be prepared because the project is not expected to have a major impact on the environment. The EA will be reviewed by interested parties, and the public is encouraged to provide feedback and seek assistance from the Commission's Office of Public Participation.
Simple Explanation
The South Sutter Water District wants to keep using a water-powered energy project in California, and some people will check that it doesn’t harm the environment too much. The project leaders want to hear what others think and are asking for everyone's ideas and help to make sure it's safe and fair for the environment.
