Commission

[Project No. 1218]

Georgia Power Company; Notice of

Availability of Study Results and

Request for Additional Studies

August 11, 1997.

Georgia Power Company is currently

engaged in the process of obtaining from

the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission (Commission) a new

license for the Flint River Hydroelectric

Project (FERC No. 1218). The current

license for the project is due to expire

on September 30, 2001. The project is

located on the Flint River, near the City

of Albany, in Dougherty and Lee

Counties, Georgia. Under the

Commission’s Regulations, an

application for license for the project

must by filed by September 30, 1999.

Georgia Power Company is managing

relicensing activities in cooperation

with a team of federal and state resource

agencies, conservation groups, and local

governments (the Consultation Team).

Pursuant to the Energy Policy Act of

1992, and the Commission’s

Regulations, Georgia Power Company

intends to prepare a Draft

Environmental Assessment (DEA) as

part of the license application, to be

filed with the Commission, for the

project. A public scoping meeting was

held on September 12, 1995 to identify

the scope of environmental issues that

should be analyzed in the DEA.

Based on information contained in

Scoping Document I, and following

receipt of additional informational from

resource agencies and other interested

parties, Georgia Power Company

prepared and circulated Scoping

Document II. Study plans, designed to

address the environmental concerns

raised during the scoping process, were

subsequently prepared by Georgia

Power Company and their

environmental consultant. The study

plans were then finalized, and studies

were undertaken from late Spring 1996

through late Spring 1997. During the

field studies, Georgia Power Company

and their environmental consultant

worked closely with the participating

agencies to coordinate and refine the

studies. During the period from August

15, 1997 until October 14, 1997, these

study reports will be available for public

review in Georgia Power Company’s

public library at its offices at 333

Piedmont Avenue in Atlanta, Georgia.

The study reports will also be available

in the Commission’s Public Reference

Room at 888 1st Street, NE in
