Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2413-126]

Georgia Power Company; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) regulations, 
18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy 
Projects has reviewed an application submitted by Georgia Power Company 
(licensee) to allow River Sand Inc., in Greene County, Georgia, the use 
of Wallace Dam Hydroelectric (FERC No. 2413) project lands and waters 
to conduct hydraulic sand mining for commercial purposes. The project 
is located at about river mile 173 on the Oconee River in the Altamaha 
River Basin in Putnam, Morgan, Oconee, Oglethorpe, Greene and Hancock 
counties, Georgia. The proposed sand mine would be operated by River 
Sand Inc. and sited in Greene County. The project occupies federal land 
administered by the U.S. Forest Service, but the proposed sand mine 
will not operate on Forest Service land.
    An Environmental Assessment (EA) has been prepared as part of 
Commission staff's review of the proposal. This EA contains Commission 
staff's analysis of the probable environmental impacts of the proposed 
action and concludes that approval of the proposal would not constitute 
a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment.
    The EA may be viewed on the Commission's website at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number 
excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access 
the document. At this time, the Commission has suspended access to the 
Commission's Public Reference Room due to the proclamation declaring a 
National Emergency concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), 
issued by the President on March 13, 2020. You may also register online 
at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp to be notified via

projects. For assistance, call 1-866-208-3676 or email
