The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued a Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the relicensing of the 6.8-megawatt Camp Far West Hydroelectric Project No. 2997, operated by South Sutter Water District on the Bear River in Yuba, Nevada, and Placer Counties, California. Staff determined that licensing the project does not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the human environment, so an EA rather than an EIS will be prepared. A draft EA is targeted for April 2025, with comments due May 2025 and a final EA expected November 2025. No federal or tribal lands are within or adjacent to the project boundary.12
