each fitted with trash racks; (4) a 307.9- 

foot-long, 58-foot-wide, and 99-foot-high 

brick and concrete, steel-frame 

powerhouse; (5) four vertical Francis 

turbines that power four generating 

units with a total installed capacity of 

182.5 megawatts; (6) two 450-foot-long 

transmission lines; and (7) appurtenant 

facilities. The project generates about 

33,000,000 megawatt-hours annually. 

The Martin Dam Project operates as a 

peaking project using a multipurpose 

storage reservoir (Lake Martin), in 

which the water levels fluctuate 

seasonally. Under its normal peaking 

operations, the project operates between 

elevations 481 and 491 feet msl. Flows 

from the dam vary from leakage during 

periods of non-generation to 17,900 

cubic feet per second (cfs) during 

generation. The Martin Dam Project 

typically generates Monday through 

Friday for eight hours per day. Releases 

from Martin dam are made directly into 

Alabama Power’s Yates and Thurlow 

Hydroelectric Project No. 2407. The 

Thurlow dam is required to release a 

minimum flow of 1,200 cfs. Releases 

from Martin dam are often necessary to 

maintain the 1,200-cfs minimum flow 

requirement. 

Alabama Power uses three guide 

curves for the Martin Dam Project: (1) A 

flood control guide; (2) an operating 

guide; and (3) a drought contingency 

curve. The flood control guide 

maximizes lake elevations for flood 

control purposes. The operating guide 

limits fluctuations in Lake Martin to 

water levels that stakeholders deemed 

acceptable during the previous 

relicensing process for the Martin Dam 

Project. The area between the flood 

control guide and operating guide 

represents the range that Alabama 

Power operates the project under 

normal inflow conditions. The drought 

contingency plan provides an indication 

of impending hydrologic drought 

conditions.

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below, file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

an original and 7 copies of filings made 

with the Commission and must mail a 

copy to the applicant and to every other 

party in the proceeding. Only parties to 

the proceeding can ask for court review 

of Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests 

and interventions in lieu of paper using 

the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http:// 

www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file 

electronically should submit an original 

and 7 copies of the protest or 

intervention to the Federal Energy 

regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 

NE., Washington, DC 20426. This filing 

is accessible on-line at http:// 

www.ferc.gov, using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link 

and is available for review in the 

Commission’s Public Reference Room in 

Washington, DC. There is an 

‘‘eSubscription’’ link on the web site
