DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2336-094]
Georgia Power Company; Notice of Intent to Prepare an
Environmental Assessment
On January 3, 2022, Georgia Power filed an application for a new,
major license for the 18-megawatt Lloyd Shoals Hydroelectric Project
(Lloyd Shoals Project; FERC No. 2336). The Lloyd Shoals Project is
located on the Ocmulgee River in Butts, Henry, Jasper, and Newton
Counties, Georgia. The project does not occupy federal lands.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on May 26, 2022,
Commission staff issued a notice that the project was ready for
environmental analysis (REA Notice). Based on the information in the
record, including comments filed on the REA Notice, staff does not
anticipate that licensing the project would constitute a major federal
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
Therefore, staff intends to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) on
the application to relicense the Lloyd Shoals Project.
The EA will be issued and circulated for review by all interested
parties. All comments filed on the EA will be analyzed by Commission
staff and considered in the Commission's final licensing decision.
The application will be processed according to the following
schedule. Revisions to the schedule may be made as appropriate.

year of the federal action agency's decision to prepare an EA. This
notice establishes the Commission's intent to prepare an EA for the
Lloyd Shoals Project. Therefore, in accordance with CEQ's
regulations, the EA must be issued within 1 year of the issuance
date of this notice.
Dated: August 8, 2022.
