Ala. Power still hopeful that FERC will reverse decision

Alabama Power Company’s Jim Crew Saturday morning said he is optimistic and hopeful that Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) staff members will reverse their initial position on the water level provisions of the company’s relicensing application for Martin Dam.

“I am optimistic and hopeful that FERC staff will recognize that the additional input supports a correction in the final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) toward approval of a conditional fall extension and higher winter pool level on Lake Martin,” Crew told some 60 Lake Martin Resource Association (LMRA) members who gathered for the organization’s annual meeting.
