[Project No. 2177-039]


Georgia Power Company; Availability of Draft Environmental 
Assessment

August 3, 2000.
    An environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review. 
The EA analyzes the environmental effects of a request to amend the 
license to authorize Georgia Power Company to withdraw up to 32 million 
gallons of water per day from the Goat Rock Development impoundment, 
part of the Middle Chattahoochee Project. The water would be used for 
cooling tower maker-up, non-contact cooling water, and other plant uses 
for a proposed natural gas-fired combustion turbine combined-cycle 
power plant in Lee County, Alabama, outside the project boundary.
    The EA was written by staff in the Office of Energy Projects, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The proposal non-project use of 
project lands and waters 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-2177-039 to: The Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 
20426. If you have any questions regarding this notice, please contact
