Georgia Power Company; Notice of
Intent to Prepare an Environmental
Assessment
On January 3, 2022, Georgia Power
filed an application for a new, major
license for the 18-megawatt Lloyd
Shoals Hydroelectric Project (Lloyd
Shoals Project; FERC No. 2336). The
Lloyd Shoals Project is located on the
Ocmulgee River in Butts, Henry, Jasper,
and Newton Counties, Georgia. The
project does not occupy federal lands.
In accordance with the Commission’s
regulations, on May 26, 2022,
Commission staff issued a notice that
the project was ready for environmental
analysis (REA Notice). Based on the
information in the record, including
comments filed on the REA Notice, staff
does not anticipate that licensing the
project would constitute a major federal
action significantly affecting the quality
of the human environment. Therefore,
staff intends to prepare an
Environmental Assessment (EA) on the
application to relicense the Lloyd
Shoals Project.
The EA will be issued and circulated
for review by all interested parties. All
comments filed on the EA will be
analyzed by Commission staff and
considered in the Commission’s final
licensing decision.
The application will be processed
according to the following schedule.
Revisions to the schedule may be made
as appropriate.
