The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all

that document on each person whose name appears on the official service
list for the project. Further, if an intervenor files comments or
documents with the Commission relating to the merits of an issue that
may affect the responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they
must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.
k. Description of Request: Alabama Power Company proposes to permit
Mallard Point Marina to install a new boat docking pier to accommodate
40 watercraft. A marina has existed at this location for decades but
the marina layout has changed over time. The marina was previously
approved to construct a 150-foot pier to accommodate 40 watercraft, but
now instead proposes to construct a 239-foot pier at the same location.
The marina would be located across from a sandbar (exposed especially
during the winter drawdown) identified by the Alabama Marine Patrol and
would require Alabama Power Company to make an exception from its Non-
Commercial Guidelines due to the length of the pier.
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, DC
