to serve a copy of that document on
each person whose name appears on the

k. Description of Request: Alabama
Power Company (APC) is requesting a
temporary variance of the Jordan Dam
Project’s minimum flow requirements
due to continuing drought conditions in
the southeast, and to ensure, to the
extent possible, that there will be
sufficient water available in the Coosa
River to support both reservoir and
downstream environmental, municipal
and industrial water supply and
navigation needs. Beginning April 1, the
project license requires a continuous
minimum base flow of 4,000 cubic feet
per second (cfs) for 18 hours per day
and a pulse flow release for 6 hours per
day. During June, the base and pulse
flows are ramped down in daily
increments, to a continuous 2,000 cfs,
which is required up to March 31. APC
is requesting a variance to release from
Jordan Dam no less than a continuous
flow of 2,000 cfs (± 5 percent) from
April 1 through December 31, 2008,
unless further reduction in flows
becomes necessary to address
emergency operating conditions. Any
reduction in flows would be achieved
by ramping down flows by no more than
66.7 cfs per day. The licensee is also
proposing to conduct weekly conference
calls with the resource agencies to
discuss project releases and operations
to address drought related issues.
l. Location of the Application: The
filing is available for inspection and
