DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2146-083 Alabama]
Alabama Power Company; Notice of Availability of Draft
Environmental Assessment
March 26, 1999.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's)
regulations, the Office of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the
application for the proposed Amendment of License for the Coosa River
Project, located in Talladega County, Alabama, and has prepared a Draft
Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the proposed action.
In the DEA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the potential
environmental impacts of The Utilities Board of the City of Sylacauga,
Alabama (Board) constructing and operating a raw water intake and
pumping station on Lay Reservoir. The staff has concluded that, given
the mitigative measures proposed by the Board, approval of the action
would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment.
The EA was written by staff in the office of Hydropower Licensing,
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the EA can be viewed at
the Commission's Reference and Information Center, Room 2A, 888 First
Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, or by calling (202) 208-1371. The
DEA may be viewed on the Web at www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm. Call
(202) 208-2222 for assistance.
Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this
notice and should be addressed to Dave Boergers, Secretary, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C.
20426. Please Affix ``Coosa River Project Amendment of License, Project
No. 2146-083`` to all comments. For further information, please contact
