DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2413-126]
Georgia Power Company; Notice of Availability of Environmental
Assessment
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) regulations,
18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy
Projects has reviewed an application submitted by Georgia Power Company
(licensee) to allow River Sand Inc., in Greene County, Georgia, the use
of Wallace Dam Hydroelectric (FERC No. 2413) project lands and waters
to conduct hydraulic sand mining for commercial purposes. The project
is located at about river mile 173 on the Oconee River in the Altamaha
River Basin in Putnam, Morgan, Oconee, Oglethorpe, Greene and Hancock
counties, Georgia. The proposed sand mine would be operated by River
Sand Inc. and sited in Greene County. The project occupies federal land
administered by the U.S. Forest Service, but the proposed sand mine
will not operate on Forest Service land.
An Environmental Assessment (EA) has been prepared as part of
Commission staff's review of the proposal. This EA contains Commission
staff's analysis of the probable environmental impacts of the proposed
action and concludes that approval of the proposal would not constitute
a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment.
The EA may be viewed on the Commission's website at <a href="http://www.ferc.gov">http://www.ferc.gov</a> using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number
excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access
the document. At this time, the Commission has suspended access to the
Commission's Public Reference Room due to the proclamation declaring a
National Emergency concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19),
issued by the President on March 13, 2020. You may also register online
at <a href="http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp">http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp</a> to be notified via
