Georgia Power Company; Notice of Availability of Draft
Environmental Assessment

October 13, 2000.
    An environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review.
The EA analyzes the environmental impacts of approving Georgia Power
Company's (licensee for the Wallace Dam Project, FERC No. 2413) request
to permit the Reynolds Plantation to increase the rate of water
withdrawal 3 MGD, about 4.6 cubic feet per second (cfs), to 14.125 MGD,
about 21.9 cfs. No additional construction is required at either site.
    The Reynold plantation would increase the water withdrawal at the
Rees Jones intake facility from 0.75 million gallons per day (MGD) from
Lake Oconee to 10.75 MGD. The Reynolds Plantation also would increase
the rate of water withdrawal at the National Course facility from 0.75
MGD to 1.875 MGD.
    The EA was written by staff in the Office of Energy Projects,
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. In the EA, Commission staff
conclude that approving the licensee's request to permit the Reynold
plantation to increase it's water withdrawals from Lake Oconee would
not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment. Copies of the EA can be viewed on the
web at www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm. Call (202) 208-2222 for
assistance. Copies are also available for inspection and reproduction
at the Commission's Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street
NE, Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, or by calling (202) 208-1371.
    Anyone may file comments on the EA. The public, federal and state
resource agencies are encouraged to provide comments. All written
comments must be filed within 30 days of the issuance date of this
notice shown above. Send an original and eight copies of all comments
marked with the docket number P-2413-040 to: The Secretary, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington, DC
20426. If you have any questions regarding this notice, please contact
