DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 349-115--Alabama]


Alabama Power Company; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

March 9, 2007.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed an application for non-project use of 
project lands and waters at the Martin Dam Project (FERC No. 349), and 
has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the proposal. The 
project is located on Lake Martin near Dadeville, in Tallapoosa County, 
Alabama.
    In the application, Alabama Power (licensee) requests Commission 
authorization to permit The Pointe at Sunset Pointe, LLC (The Pointe) 
to install 30 boat slips as well as a pier/platform and floating-dock 
structure on Lake Martin, the project reservoir. These structures would 
serve the residents of condominiums that are located on adjoining 
project lands. The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the 
potential environmental impacts of the proposal and concludes that 
approval of the proposal, as modified by the staff-identified 
alternative, would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    The EA is attached to a Commission order titled ``Order Modifying 
and Approving Non-Project Use of Project Lands and Waters,'' which was 
issued February 22, 2007, 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 Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``elibrary'' 
link. Enter the project number (prefaced by P- and excluding the last 
three digits) in the docket number field to access the document. For

Acting Secretary.
