Seismic Analysis of Alternatives –
Discussion of Results and Plan and Schedule for Further Action
ENCLOSURES CONTAIN CUI//CEII – DO NOT RELEASE
Dear Frank L. Blackett:
This letter presents the results of an analysis of alternatives (AoA) to address seismic deficiencies
at Philbrook Dam, which is part of PG&E’s DeSabla-Centerville Hydroelectric Project, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) No. 803. PG&E submitted its original plan and schedule
for providing the results of the AoA in a letter to FERC dated February 25, 2025.
PG&E’s discussion of the results of the AoA and plan and schedule for further action are enclosed
with this letter (Enclosure 1). The AoA report is provided in (Enclosure 2). PG&E has reviewed the
enclosed report and concurs with the information presented therein. Although the report includes a
recommended alternative for potential improvements, PG&E recognizes that the engineering
alternatives evaluated as part of the study are conceptual and based on limited information. PG&E
considers the alternatives and recommendations presented in the report to be preliminary and
subject to potential changes based on additional investigation and analysis. The actual scope and
timing of any future projects depend on the results of further study.
Should you have technical questions concerning this matter, please contact Isabelle Rawlings,
senior dam safety engineer for PG&E, at (925) 359-5420. For general questions, please contact
Andrew Garcia, license coordinator for PG&E, at (530) 228-8990.
Sincerely,
Robert O. Ellis, P.E., G.E.
Deputy Chief Dam Safety Engineer
