[Project No. 2628–066]
On November 23, 2021, Alabama
Power Company filed an application for
a new major license to operate its 137.5megawatt (MW) 1 R.L. Harris
Hydroelectric Project (Harris Project;
FERC No. 2628). The project is located
on the Tallapoosa River near the City of
Lineville in Randolph, Clay, and
Cleburne Counties, Alabama. The Harris
Project also includes land within the
James D. Martin-Skyline Wildlife
Management Area located
approximately 110 miles north of Harris
Lake in Jackson County, Alabama. The
project occupies 4.90 acres of federal
land administered by the Bureau of
Land Management.
On July 31, 2018, Commission staff
issued Scoping Document 1, initiating
the scoping process for the project in
accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and
Commission regulations. On November
16, 2018, Commission staff issued a
revised scoping document (Scoping
Document 2). In accordance with the
Commission’s regulations, on January
17, 2023, 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 during
scoping and in response to the REA
Notice, staff has determined that
relicensing the project may constitute a
major federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human
environment. Therefore, staff intends to
prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) for the Harris Project.
A draft EIS will be issued and
circulated for review by all interested
parties. All comments filed in response
to the REA notice, and on the draft EIS
will be analyzed by staff in a final EIS.
The staff’s conclusions and
recommendations will be available for
the Commission’s consideration in
reaching its final licensing decision.
The application will be processed
according to the following schedule.
Revisions to the schedule may be made
as appropriate.
