Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project Nos. 2341–033, 2350–025] 

Georgia Power Company; Notice of 

Intent To Prepare an Environmental 

Assessment 

On December 18, 2018, as 

supplemented on May 24, 2019, 

September 6, 2022, September 8, 2022, 

and November 1, 2023, Georgia Power 

Company (Georgia Power) filed an 

application to surrender, decommission, 

and remove the Langdale Hydroelectric 

Project No. 2341 and the Riverview 

Hydroelectric Project No. 2350. The 

projects are located on the 

Chattahoochee River in Chambers 

County, Alabama and Harris County, 

Georgia. The project does not occupy 

federal lands. 

The Commission issued public notice 

of the surrender applications for both 

proceedings on January 24, 2019, with 

protests, comments, and motions to 

intervene due to be filed by February 25, 

2019. On February 14, 2019, the 

Commission issued public notice 

extending the comment and 

intervention period until March 4, 2019, 

due to the funding lapse at certain 

federal agencies between December 22, 

2018 and January 25, 2019. Several 

commenters filed letters opposing the 

proposed dam removals at both projects 

while others expressed concern 

regarding the potential for islands in the 

river to be subject to increased erosion 

due to dam removal. Additional 

comments focused on concern for the 

potential loss of boating and fishing 

opportunities, loss of waterfront access 

from neighboring property, as well as 

for the continued existence of shoal 

bass. Letters of support for dam removal 

were filed by local citizens as well as 

the Georgia Department of Natural 

Resources Division of Wildlife 

Resources and the Chattahoochee 

Riverkeeper. The Muskogee Nation 

requested that archeological surveys be 

conducted prior to dam removal as well 

as subsequent monitoring to ensure 

protection of archeological sites. 

On September 6, 2022, and 

supplemented on September 8, 2022, 

Georgia Power amended its surrender 

applications by filing the 

decommissioning plan for both projects. 

The Commission issued public notice of 

the decommissioning plan on November 

17, 2022, with protests, comments, and 

motions to intervene due to be filed by 

December 19, 2022. On December 12, 

2022, the FWS filed a letter of support 

for decommissioning the projects and 

removing the associated dams. No other 

comments were received pursuant to the 

public notice. 

On November 1, 2023, Georgia Power 

filed the following plans: (1) Final PreDam Removal Shoal Bass Abundance 

and Tracking Study Report; (2) Final 

Sediment Quality Study Report; (3) 

Final Sediment Transport Assessment 

Study Report; and (4) Revised Final 

Hydraulic and Hydrologic Study Report. 

This notice identifies Commission 

staff’s intention to prepare an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

project. The planned schedule for the 

completion of the EA is July 2024 1

Revisions to the schedule may be made 

as appropriate. The EA will be issued 

and made available for review by all 

interested parties. All comments filed 

on the EA will be reviewed by staff and 

considered in the Commission’s final 

decision on the proceeding. 

The Commission’s Office of Public 

Participation (OPP) supports meaningful

communities, Tribal members, and
