Georgia Power Company; Notice of Availability of Environment 
Assessment

September 28, 2005.
    An environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review. 
The EA was prepared for an application filed by Georgia Power Company 
on June 2, 2005, requesting the Commission's authorization to permit 
the Clayton-Rabun County Water and Sewer Authority (Authority) to 
increase its water withdrawal from Lake Rabun, a reservoir of the North 
Georgia Project, from 2.0 million gallons per day to 3.5 million 
gallons per day for municipal water supply.
    The EA evaluates the environmental impacts that would result from 
permitting the Authority to increase its water withdrawal from Lake 
Rabun, as stated above. The existing 10-inch piping from the intake 
pumps to the distribution main would be replaced with 16-inch piping. 
No significant construction activity would be required within the 
project boundary. The EA finds that approval of the application would 
not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the 
quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the EA is attached to a Commission order titled ``Order 
Approving Non-Project Use of Project Lands and Waters'', issued 
September 27, 2005, and is available at the Commission's Public 
Reference Room. A copy of the EA may also be viewed on the Commission's 
Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``elibrary'' link. Enter the 
docket number (P-2354) in the docket number field to access the 
document. For assistance, call (202) 502-8222 or (202) 502-8659 (for 
TTY).
