j. Deadline for filing comments, 

motions to intervene and protests: 

January 28, 2009. 

All documents (original and eight 

copies) should be filed with: Kimberly 

D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First 

Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. 

The Commission’s Rules of Practice 

and Procedure require all intervenors 

filing documents with the Commission 

to serve a copy of that document on 

each person whose name appears on the 

official service list for the project. 

Further, if an intervenor files comments 

or documents with the Commission 

relating to the merits of an issue that 

may affect the responsibilities of a 

particular resource agency, they must 

also serve a copy of the document on 

that resource agency. A copy of any 

motion to intervene must also be served 

upon each representative of the 

Applicant specified in the particular 

application. 

k. Description of Request: Alabama 

Power Company (APC) is requesting a 

temporary variance of the Jordan Dam 

Project’s minimum flow requirements 

due to continuing drought conditions in 

the southeast, and to ensure, to the 

extent possible, that there will be 

sufficient water available in the Coosa 

River to support both reservoir and 

downstream environmental, municipal 

and industrial water supply and 

navigation needs. The project license 

requires, from July 1 through March 31, 

a continuous minimum base flow of 

2,000 cubic feet per second (cfs), 

regardless of inflow. Beginning April 1, 

a continuous minimum base flow of 

4,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) is 

required for 18 hours per day, with a 

pulse flow release for 6 hours per day. 

During June, flows are ramped back 

down in daily increments to a 

continuous 2,000 cfs. APC is requesting 

a variance to release from Jordan Dam 

no less than a continuous flow of 2,000 

cfs, ± 5 percent, from January 1, 2009 

through December 31, 2009. The 

licensee indicates that, in 2009, it would 

be its intent to provide flows as close to 

normal operation as possible, while 

maintaining flexibility to adjust to 

changing drought conditions. Any 

adjustments that were to involve 

reductions in flow releases would be 

performed by ramping down flows by 

no more than 66.7 cfs per day. The 

licensee is also proposing to facilitate 

conference calls with the resource 

agencies to discuss project flow releases 

and operations, to address droughtrelated issues, and to coordinate with 

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 

conducting any appropriate monitoring 

of the federally-listed Tulotoma 

magnifica snail population below the 

dam. APC would also provide 

appropriate notice to the public of 

periods in which flows below the dam 

may be modified. 

l. Location of the Application: The 

filing is available for inspection and 

reproduction at the Commission’s 

Public Reference Room, located at 888 

First Street, NE, Room 2A, Washington, 

DC 20426 or by calling (202) 502–8371.
