DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2237-017]
Georgia Power Company; Notice of Availability of Environmental
Assessment
November 9, 2007.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for a New Major License
for the Morgan Falls Hydroelectric Project.
The Morgan Falls Project is located in the metropolitan city of
Atlanta area on the Chattahoochee River, at river mile 312.6, and about
36 miles downstream from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Buford dam
(Lake Sidney Lanier) in Cobb and Fulton Counties, Georgia. The project
occupies about 14.4 acres of federal lands within the Chattahoochee
River National Recreation Area managed by the National Park Service.
Staff has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project.
In the EA Commission, staff analyzed the potential environmental
effects of relicensing the project and concludes that issuing a new
license for the project, with appropriate environmental measures, would
not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect
the quality of the human environment.
A copy of the EA is available for review at the Commission in the
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site 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. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at
FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll-free at 1-866-208-3676, or for TTY,
(202) 502-8659.
Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this
notice and should be addressed to: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC
20426. Please affix Project No. 2237-017 to all comments. Comments may
be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. The
Commission strongly encourages electronic filings. See 18 CFR
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site
(http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link. Project No. P-2237-
017.
