Haskins Boat Ramp Replacement – Additional Inspector Resumes
Dear Frank L. Blackett:
This letter presents additional onsite inspector resumes for the Haskins Boat Ramp Replacement
Project for Bucks Storage Dam, which is part of Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (PG&E) Bucks
Creek Hydroelectric Project, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) No. 619. FERC
provided authorization to proceed in a letter dated August 27, 2021. Due to water management
limitations on drawing down the reservoir, PG&E has filed EOTs on May 17, 2022, May 2, 2023,
December 18, 2024, and April 23, 2025. FERC granted the extensions and requested a final
construction report be submitted by January 31, 2027.
Due to changes in staffing availability, PG&E is proposing to supplement the project with two
additional onsite inspectors, Chadwick Leal and Ramon Lopez. The inspections supervisor role
has been updated to Larry McKee. The resumes of the new inspectors and inspections supervisor
are enclosed with this letter (Enclosure 1). PG&E believes that the proposed inspectors meet the
minimum qualifications outlined in FERC’s guidelines.
PG&E respectfully requests FERC’s authorization of the additional personnel. Should you have
technical questions concerning this matter, please contact Gavin Rhoads, project engineer for
PG&E, at (530) 370-6685. For general questions, please contact Trevor Moore, license coordinator
for PG&E, at (530) 205-7345.
Sincerely,
Kyle Ingvoldsen, P.E.
