Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene and protests: January 28, 2009. All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. 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. A copy of any motion to intervene must also be served upon each representative of the Applicant specified in the particular application. 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. The project license requires, from July 1 through March 31, a continuous minimum base flow of 2,000 cubic feet per second (cfs), regardless of inflow. Beginning April 1, a continuous minimum base flow of 4,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) is required for 18 hours per day, with a pulse flow release for 6 hours per day. During June, flows are ramped back down in daily increments to a continuous 2,000 cfs. APC is requesting a variance to release from Jordan Dam no less than a continuous flow of 2,000 cfs, ± 5 percent, from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009. The licensee indicates that, in 2009, it would be its intent to provide flows as close to normal operation as possible, while maintaining flexibility to adjust to changing drought conditions. Any adjustments that were to involve reductions in flow releases would be performed by ramping down flows by no more than 66.7 cfs per day. The licensee is also proposing to facilitate conference calls with the resource agencies to discuss project flow releases and operations, to address droughtrelated issues, and to coordinate with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in conducting any appropriate monitoring of the federally-listed Tulotoma PO 00000 Frm 00048 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 magnifica snail population below the dam. APC would also provide appropriate notice to the public of periods in which flows below the dam may be modified. l.
