Georgia Power Company; Notice of Intent To Prepare an 
Environmental Assessment

    On August 1, 2025, Georgia Power Company filed an application for 
non-project use of project lands and waters to establish a commercial 
dredging operation for the Morgan Falls Hydroelectric Project No. 2237. 
The project is located on the Chattahoochee River in Cobb and Fulton 
counties, Georgia. The project occupies federal lands administered by 
the National Park Service.
    The licensee submitted a request on behalf of River Sand 
Incorporated to allow the use and occupancy of lands and waters inside 
the project boundary for the purpose of establishing a commercial 
dredging operation at the previous location of Ace Sand. The operation 
would remove a minimum of 12,000 cubic yards of sediment annually from 
an area 600-feet long by 100-feet wide (1.4 acres). The sediment will 
be dewatered with screens and gravity separation techniques and water 
from the dewatering device will be returned to the project reservoir. 
The sediment will be temporarily stockpiled on an adjacent upland site 
that is located outside of the project boundary and will be transported 
off-site when sold. A Notice of Application was issued on August 22, 
2025. No comments were received.
    This notice identifies Commission staff's intention to prepare an 
environmental assessment (EA) under the National Environmental Policy 
Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) for the project.\1\ Commission staff plans 
to issue an EA by February 27, 2026. Revisions to the schedule may be 
made as appropriate.
