DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 344-023]


Southern California Edison Company; Notice of Availability of 
Draft Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC's) 
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 380 (Order No. 
486, 52 Federal Register 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has 
prepared a draft environmental assessment (EA) for an application filed 
by Southern California Edison Company (licensee) on September 28, 2010, 
requesting Commission approval to surrender the project license for the 
San Gorgonio Hydroelectric Power Project, located on the San Gorgonio 
and Whitewater rivers in San Bernardino and Riverside counties, 
California. Following surrender of the license, the licensee would 
transfer some of the project facilities to San Gorgonio Pass Water 
Agency, Banning Heights Mutual Water Company, and the City of Banning, 
California, to allow continuation of water deliveries to the local 
communities.
    The draft EA evaluates the environmental effects that would result 
from approving the licensee's proposed surrender. The draft EA finds 
that approval of the application would not constitute a major federal 
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. A 
copy of the draft EA is on file with the Commission and is available 
for public inspection. The
