Sierra Club - El Dorado Project papers, 1970-1974.

Comments of the Sierra Club on Pacific Gas and Electric Company's re-licensing of the U.S. Federal Power Commission El Dorado Project (Project 184). In 1922, the Federal Power Commission issued the first hydroelectric license for Project 184. The license, issued to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), was valid for 50 years and expired in 1972. The second FPC license was also issued to PG&E with an expiration date of February 23, 2002. On October 1, 1977, the FPC was replaced by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The project was transferred to El Dorado Irrigation District (EID) on April 2, 1999, and EID filed an application for new license (relicensing), which was published in the Federal Register on February 11, 2001.
