2024-07146. 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's (Commission) regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application to surrender, decommission, and remove the Langdale Hydroelectric Project No. 2341 and the Riverview Hydroelectric Project No. 2350 (projects). The projects are located on the Chattahoochee River in Chambers County, Alabama and Harris County, Georgia. Commission staff has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed action.

The EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental effects of the proposed action and concludes that surrendering, decommissioning, and removing the projects, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment.

The Commission provides all interested persons with an opportunity to view and/or print the EA via the internet through the Commission's Home Page ( http://www.ferc.gov/​), using the “eLibrary” link. Enter either docket number (P-2341 or P-2350), to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at [e-mail], or at [phone] (toll-free), or [phone] (TTY).
