[Project No. 1951-119]


Georgia Power Company; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

February 16, 2005.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 
as amended, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations (18 CFR part 380), Commission staff have prepared an 
environmental assessment (EA) that analyzes the environmental impacts 
of allowing Georgia Power Company, licensee for the Sinclair 
Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 1951), to amend the existing project 
boundary. The current project boundary at the 350-foot elevation 
contour would be moved to the 343-foot elevation contour or 25 feet as 
measured from the reservoir's full pool elevation, whichever is 
greater. The purpose of this boundary amendment is to remove 3,650 
acres of primarily residential lands from the project boundary, which 
the licensee identifies as being neither for, nor related to, project 
purposes. Areas necessary for project purposes, such as the project 
works and recreation sites, would be exempt from the proposed boundary 
change and remain within the project boundary.
    A copy of the EA is attached to a Commission order titled ``Order 
Approving Change in Project Boundary,'' which was issued on February 
15, 2005, and is available for review and reproduction at the 
Commission's Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., 
Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426. The EA may also be viewed on the 
Commission(s website at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``elibrary'' 
link. Enter the docket number (prefaced by P-) and excluding the last 
three digits, in the docket number field to access the document. For 
assistance, contact FERC Online Support at [email protected]
