Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project Nos. 2165-027]


Alabama Power Company; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

September 9, 2009.
    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 Warrior River Hydroelectric Project 
(FERC No. 2165). An environmental assessment (EA) has been prepared as 
part of staff's review of the proposal. The proposed non-project use is 
located on Lewis Smith Lake in Winston County, Alabama.
    In the application, Alabama Power requests Commission authorization 
to permit Silverock Cove, LLC to install 11 cluster docks (with a total 
of 74 boat slips), a walking trail, and a community boat launch within 
the project boundary. These structures would serve the residents of 
Silverock Cove, a planned community that is located adjacent to project 
lands. The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the probable 
environmental impacts of the proposal and concludes that approval of 
the proposal, as modified by the staff, 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 September 8, 2009, 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 docket number (P-2165) in the docket number field to 
access the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at

Secretary.
