l. Description of Request: Georgia Power Company (licensee)
requests Commission approval to replace the existing flashboards with
Obermeyer gates, and construct a control room to house the equipment
and instrumentation needed to operate the new Obermeyer gates at the
Yonah Development. Replacing the existing flashboards with Obermeyer
gates would allow plant operators to regulate reservoir elevations more
effectively. The licensee would install the Obermeyer gates behind a
bulkhead; therefore, no drawdown would be required. The proposed
spillway upgrades are anticipated to begin in 2027 and are expected to
take 18 to 24
[[Page 33165]]
months. The proposed upgrades would not result in any ground
disturbance, and laydown areas for staging the spillway gates would be
on previously disturbed and graveled areas. The project would continue
to operate under the terms of its current license, and applicable Water
Quality Certification.
