The Project Description: Martin Dam is located at river mile 420.0 on the Tallapoosa River near the cities of Alexander City and Dadeville, Alabama. Martin Dam impounds about 31 miles of the Tallapoosa River, forming Martin Reservoir (or Lake Martin), a 40,000-acre reservoir with (a) 700 miles of shoreline, (b) a gross storage capacity of 1,622,000 PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 36527 acre-feet, and (c) active storage of 1,381,077 acre-feet at a 45.5-foot drawdown. The existing Martin Dam Project consists of: (1) A concrete gravity dam and an earth dike section, totaling about 2,000 feet in length with a maximum height of 168 feet, and includes (a) A 720-foot-long gated spillway section with 20 vertical lift spillway gates, each measuring 30 feet wide by 16 feet high; (b) a 250-foot-long concrete gravity intake structure, (c) a 255-foot-long concrete gravity non-overflow section, and (d) an approximately 1,000-footlong earth embankment; (2) a reservoir with a surface area of 40,000 acres at the normal full pool elevation of 491 feet mean sea level (msl); (3) headworks containing four steel penstocks and 12 intake gates, each fitted with trash racks; (4) a brick and concrete, steel-frame powerhouse, 307 feet long, 58 feet wide, and 99 feet high; (5) four vertical Francis turbines that power four generating units with a total installed capacity of 182.5 MW; (6) two 450-footlong transmission lines; and (7) appurtenant facilities. The project generates about 33,000,000 megawatthours (MWh) annually. The Martin Dam Project operates as a peaking project using a multipurpose storage reservoir (Lake Martin), in which the water levels fluctuate seasonally. Under its normal peaking operations, the project operates between elevations 481 and 491 feet msl. Flows from the dam vary from leakage during periods of non-generation to 17,900 cubic feet per second (cfs) during generation. The Martin Dam Project typically generates Monday through Friday for eight hours per day. Releases from Martin Dam are made directly into Alabama Power’s Yates and Thurlow Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 2407). The Thurlow Dam is required to release a minimum flow of 1,200 cfs. Releases from Martin Dam are often necessary to maintain the 1,200-cfs minimum flow requirement. Alabama Power uses three guide curves for the Martin Dam Project: (1) A flood control guide; (2) an operating guide; and (3) a drought contingency curve. The flood control guide maximizes lake elevations for flood control purposes. The operating guide limits fluctuations in Lake Martin to water levels that stakeholders deemed acceptable during the previous relicensing process for the Martin Dam Project. The area between the flood control guide and operating guide represents the range that Alabama Power operates the project under normal inflow conditions. E:\FR\FM\22JNN1.SGM 22JNN1
