Notice of Application for Amendment of License and Soliciting 
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Protests

July 9, 2003.
    Take notice that the following application has been filed with the 
Commission and is available for public inspection:
    a. Application Type: Amendment of License to Reduce the Authorized 
Capacity, and Revise Project Boundary.
    b. Project No.: 10395-025.
    c. Date Filed: January 23, 2003.
    d. Applicant: Electric Plant Board of the City of Augusta, KY.
    e. Name of Project: Meldahl Project.
    f. Location: The project is located at the U.S. Army Corps of 
Engineers' Captain Anthony Meldahl Locks and Dam on the Ohio River in 
Bracken County, Kentucky.
    g. Filed Pursuant to: Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 791a-825r.
    h. Applicant Contact: Mr. James B. Price, Agent to the Electric 
Plant Board of the City of Augusta, KY, AJS Hydro Corp., PO Box 5550, 
Aiken, SC 29804, Tel: (865) 436-0402.
    i. FERC Contact: Any questions on this notice should be addressed 
to Mr. Jake Tung at (202) 502-8757, or e-mail address: 
[email protected].
    j. Deadline for filing comments and or motions: August 11, 2003.
    k. Description of Amendment: The licensee proposes the following 
design changes: (1) Installing 105 small turbines and generators, 
instead of the licensed three large turbines and generators, resulting 
in a reduction in the authorized capacity from 105 MW to 68.7 MW, (2) 
placing seven transformers and switchgears, and (3) constructing a 2-
mile-long transmission line, instead of the licensed 5.1-mile-long 
route. The change in project design is to install 105 smaller units 
that would be fitted in seven modules, each located in a gate bay of 
the existing dam. This installation eliminates construction of an 
intake and tailrace, in effect, avoiding dredging, excavation, and 
spoil disposal. The proposed transmission line alignment will be along 
an existing transmission line to the point of interconnection with an 
existing line of Kentucky Utilities. This proposed alignment would 
require the clearing of about 10 acres of land.
    l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is 
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public 
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington,
