Greenwood County, SC; Notice of Application and Soliciting
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Protests

January 9, 2009.
    a. Type of Application: Application to temporarily amend the rule
curve pursuant to article 407 of the project license.
    b. Project Number: Project No. 1267-087.
    c. Date Filed: December 23, 2008.
    d. Applicant: Greenwood County, South Carolina.
    e. Name of Project: Buzzard's Roost Hydroelectric Project (FERC No.
1267).
    f. Location: The project is located on the Saluda River in
Greenwood, Laurens and Newberry Counties, South Carolina..
    g. Filed Pursuant to: Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 791(a), 825(r)
and 799 and 801.
    h. Applicant Contact: Mr. Charles M. Watson Jr., County Attorney,
County of Greenwood, 600 Monument St., Suite 102, Greenwood, SC 29646,
phone (864) 942-3140.
    i. FERC Contact: Any questions on this notice should be addressed
to B. Peter Yarrington at (202) 502-6129.
    j. Deadline for filing comments and or motions: January 26, 2009.
    k. Description of Application: Because of ongoing drought
conditions, the applicant seeks approval to temporarily amend article
407 of its project license to revise the schedule for management of
lake levels (rule curve). Under the rule curve, the reservoir level is
raised to an elevation of 439 feet mean sea level (msl) by April 15
each year. Beginning on September 1, the reservoir level is then
reduced until it reaches 437 feet msl by October 1. The level is then
maintained at 437 feet msl until January 1, when it is reduced to 434.5
feet msl by February 1. At that time, the reservoir level is increased
and the annual cycle is repeated. The licensee proposes to forgo the
reservoir level reduction from 437 feet msl to 434.5 feet msl that
would normally occur from January 1 to February 1, 2009, and would then
refill the reservoir to the summer elevation of 439 feet msl by March
15, 2009, rather than waiting until April 15.
