may affect the responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they 
must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.
    k. Description of Request: Georgia Power Company (licensee) 
requests Commission approval to replace and upgrade two generating 
units in the Nacoochee powerhouse. The licensee proposes to replace 
turbine runners and generators. The proposed upgrades would increase 
the Nacoochee Development's installed capacity from 4.8 megawatt (MW) 
to 5.48 MW. The maximum hydraulic capacity would decrease from 1,382 
cubic feet per second (cfs) to 1,258 cfs (9% decrease). The licensee 
does not anticipate any adverse effect to environmental resources as a 
result of the proposed amendment.
