Committee reviews multi-agency letters urging FERC action on project 2,100
Summary
Committee materials included letters from four agencies — California Department of Fish and Wildlife, NOAA, DWR and the City of Oroville — asking the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to move forward on the long-pending project 2,100; committee members described the letters as informational and welcomed the coordinated push.
Committee members reviewed correspondence in the meeting packet that included letters from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Department of Water Resources and the City of Oroville urging the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to advance work on “project 2,100,” a long-pending matter the committee has tracked for years.
A staff summary noted the coordinated timing of the four letters and described the material as informational. Committee members said the letters could provide momentum after many years of delay; one member summarized the timeline at the meeting as pushing 18 years now, up from 17 years in earlier discussions.
Chairperson (Mayor) Pittman told the committee he had sent an email on Jan. 16 and said the city had received acknowledgment from DWR that the city council letter had been assigned to a DWR staff member for follow-up. Committee members thanked the agencies for their letters and said they expected continued correspondence as the committee and city pursue resolution.
The committee did not vote on any action specific to the correspondence at this meeting; members characterized the item as informational and agreed to continue monitoring the matter.
