The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all
intervenors filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of
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

k. Description of Request: Alabama Power requests approval to
modify Unit 1 at the Bouldin Development to address significant
maintenance needs and to improve power and efficiency. The proposed
scope of work for Unit 1 includes complete turbine replacement, wicket
gate replacement, wicket gate stem bushings installation, turbine, and
generator bearing upgrades, and related component replacement. Alabama
Power states the turbine replacement is not expected to result in an
increase to the total rated capacity or the maximum discharge of the
unit at rated conditions. Alabama Power notes that project operations
will not change, and refurbishment will not include any structural
changes to the project facilities. Furthermore, the intake structure
will not be modified, nor will there be any modifications to the
existing trash racks. Therefore, Alabama Power states that the current
approach velocity at the trash racks will remain the same.
