(202) 502-8659 (TTY). In lieu of electronic filing, you may submit a
paper copy. Submissions sent via the U.S. Postal Service must be
addressed to: Debbie-Anne A. Reese, Secretary, Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington, DC
20426. Submissions sent via any other carrier must be addressed to:
Debbie-Anne A. Reese, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
12225 Wilkins Avenue, Rockville, Maryland 20852. The first page of any
filing should include the docket number P-1175-025. Comments emailed to
Commission staff are not considered part of the Commission record.
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
may affect the responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they
must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.
l. Description of Request: The licensee proposes revising the
project boundary associated with the Marmet Development's transmission
line. The Marmet Development currently includes two, 46-kilovolt (kV)
transmission lines (i.e., circuits) within a single 0.78-mile-long
transmission line corridor, which crosses the Kanawha River to its
interconnection point at the Belle Substation. To accommodate revised
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' standards, the licensee is proposing to
replace two existing tower structures and a portion of the existing
transmission circuits, including the portion that crosses the Kanawha
River, and to install a new tower structure and new transmission
circuits. This proposed modification would change the length of the
transmission line right-of-way portion of the corridor to 0.74 miles
long. The proposal would add approximately 3.61 acres to the project
boundary and remove approximately 1.64 acres, for a net increase of
1.97 acres. The licensee states that the relocation of the transmission
line would not change licensed project operations or require in-stream
work. The area for the two poles being replaced is disturbed and within
the project boundary. The new pole is outside of the project boundary;
however, the licensee states land immediately adjacent to the river
where the new pole would be located has been substantially modified.

Commission's website at <a href="http://www.ferc.gov">http://www.ferc.gov</a> using the ``eLibrary''
