Project No. 618–000] 

Notice of Availability of the Final 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement for the Alabama Power 

Company Coosa River Hydroelectric 

Project 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission’s (Commission) 

regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office 

of Energy Projects has reviewed the 

application for a single new license to 

continue to operate and maintain three 

separately licensed projects and has 

prepared a final supplemental 

environmental impact statement 

(SEIS).1 The single new license would 

combine the Coosa Hydroelectric Project 

(FERC No. 2146), which consists of the 

Weiss, H. Neely Henry, Logan Martin, 

Lay, and Bouldin developments, the 

Mitchell Dam Hydroelectric Project 

(FERC No. 82), and the Jordan Dam 

Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 618) 

into one 969.9-megawatt project, the 

Coosa River Hydroelectric Project 

(Coosa River Project) No. 2146. The 

projects are located on the Coosa River, 

in the states of Alabama and Georgia, 

and occupy about 508.31 acres of 

federal land administered by the U.S. 

Bureau of Land Management and 5.75 

acres of federal land administered by 

the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

participated as a cooperating agency to 

prepare the final SEIS. 

The final SEIS has been prepared to 

address the July 6, 2018 opinion issued 

by the United States Court of Appeals 

for the District of Columbia (court) 

regarding the Commission’s 

environmental review of the Coosa 

River Hydroelectric Project and 

supplements the final environmental 

assessment (FEA), issued December 31, 

2009, for the project. The final SEIS 

focuses on the following issues 

identified by the court as needing 

further analysis and expands upon the 

analysis contained within the FEA for 

these issues: (1) dissolved oxygen; (2) 

fish entrainment and turbine mortality; 

(3) federally listed threatened and 

endangered species; and (4) cumulative 

effects. The final SEIS describes staff’s 

analysis of the applicant’s proposal and 

the alternatives for relicensing the 

project. The final SEIS documents the 

views of governmental agencies, nongovernmental organizations, affected 

Indian tribes, the public, the license 

applicant, and Commission staff. 

The Commission provides all 

interested persons an opportunity to 

view and/or print the final SEIS via the 

internet through the Commission’s 

Home Page (http://www.ferc.gov/), using 

the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket

000 requesting a Certificate of Public 

Convenience and Necessity pursuant to 

Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act to 

construct and operate certain natural gas

the pipeline alignment, construction 

footprint, and installation methods for 

the Louisiana Connector Project, which 

was approved by the Commission on 

April 18, 2019, in Docket No. CP18–7– 

000. 

On July 28, 2023, the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission or 

FERC) issued its Notice of Application 

for the Amendment. Among other 

things, that notice alerted agencies 

issuing Federal authorizations of the 

requirement to complete all necessary 

reviews and to reach a final decision on 

a request for a Federal authorization 

within 90 days of the date of issuance 

of the Commission staff’s environmental 

document for the Amendment. 

This notice identifies Commission 

staff’s intention to prepare an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

Amendment and the planned schedule
