FERC has prepared an Environmental Assessment for PacifiCorp's application to amend the license for the Yale Hydroelectric Project (No. 2071) on the Lewis River in Clark and Cowlitz counties, Washington. The proposed modifications include installing a rock filter and drain berm on the downstream side of the Yale saddle dam, constructing a toe ditch to route intercepted seepage into a drainage swale, and placing additional riprap on the upstream face of the dam. The riprap work requires a 2-week reservoir drawdown. FERC staff concluded the amendment, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. Comments are due June 23, 2025.12
