The project is located on Old Cow Creek, South Cow Creek, and tributaries in Shasta County, California. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) was issued for public comment on June 22, 2010, followed by two public meetings.

The FEIS documents the views of governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, affected Indian tribes, the public, the licensee, and Commission staff.
A copy of the FEIS is available for review in the Commission's Public Reference Branch, Room 2A, located at 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
