and Rejecting in Part Intervenors’
Comments to the Draft Environmental
Impact Statement for the Proposed
Elba III Project
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
June 28, 2007.
On May 25, 2007, Landowners for
Economic and Environmental Protection
(Landowners) submitted Intervenors’
Comments to the Draft Environmental
Impact Statement for the Proposed Elba
III Project in the above referenced
dockets.
After receipt of the filing, the staff of
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC or Commission) has
determined that the text of Comments,
together with Exhibits A and B, comply
with the Commission’s filing
requirements and are acceptable
submittals which will be considered in
the Final Environmental Impact
Statement. However, Exhibit C (five
DVDs containing digital data) is hereby
rejected for numerous failures to comply
with the Commission’s Submission
Guidelines for CDs, DVDs, and Other
Electronic Media (Guidelines),1 as
outlined below:
• The submission does not include a
cover letter containing information
specified by the Guidelines;
• The data files on the DVDs include
files that exceed the 50 MB limit per
file, with many files in the range of 145–
456 MB;
• The folder mapping on the DVDs
does not follow the Files and Folders
Guidelines correlating the electronic
data to the logical organization of the
document, and there is no
documentation outlining how the data
was split over the five DVDs and the
content on each;
1 The Guidelines appear online at: https://
www.ferc.gov/help/submission-guide.asp. The
Guidelines specifically outline the areas in which
Exhibit C was non-compliant.
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:43 Jul 03, 2007
Jkt 211001
There appears to be duplication of
Exhibit A in three places and duplicate
copies of other electronic files on the
DVDs;
• Many file names are not
descriptive, and the cover letter is not
in the root directory;
• There are at least 10 unacceptable
file types submitted which prohibit both
FERC staff and the public from viewing
them;
• Specialized software was used to
compile the data and distribute the
contents over five DVDs, which does not
allow FERC staff or the public access to
the electronic media without
administrative rights;
• The filing does not include a
detailed description of the content of
the filing and instructions for the public
on how to obtain the resources to view
it;
• The external labels on the DVDs do
not identify the filer, docket number, or
security classification of the data;
• The consultant responsible for the
compilation of the DVDs did not comply
with FERC staff’s request to provide a
paper copy of the map document (.mxd
file) for FERC staff use.
Accordingly, Exhibit C of
Landowners’ May 25, 2007 submission
to the Commission is hereby rejected
without prejudice to Landowners’
resubmitting this portion of its filing in
accordance with the Guidelines.

k. Description of Application: The
applicant seeks approval to amend
article 407 of its project license to revise
the schedule for management of lake
levels (rule curve). The licensee
proposes to commence filling the lake
one month earlier in order to obtain a
lake elevation of 439 feet by March 15,
provide steady lake levels during fish
spawning, and to maintain the lake at
the summer level until November 1 in
order to facilitate late-season recreation.
The licensee also proposes to maintain
the lake at its annual low from
December 15 until January 1 of each
year in order to provide a period for
adjacent landowners to work on
permitted encroachments. Additionally,
with the exception of the fish spawning
period from March 15 to June 30, the
licensee requests that it be allowed to
fluctuate the reservoir within 6 inches
above and below the levels determined
by the rule curve to provide for some
peaking operation. The licensee states
that it will vary from article 407 to
perform necessary maintenances, safely
manage flood flows, during operating
emergencies, and to meet minimum
flow requirements under article 408.
l. Locations of the Application: A
copy of the application is available for
inspection and reproduction at the
