    i. FERC Contact: Jim Haimes, (202) 219-2780.
    j. Comment Date: January 8, 1999.
    k. Description of Project: The licensee proposes to lease 2.7 acres 
of land on the eastern shoreline of Lay Reservoir (Coosa River) 
downstream of the confluence with Cedar Creek to the Utilities Board, 
City of Sylacauga, Alabama for the construction and operation of a raw 
water intake and pumping station with the capacity to withdraw 30 
million gallons per day for municipal water supply. The proposed 
facilities would be developed on a vacant parcel at the intersection of 
Cedar Creek Circle and Edwards Drive, adjacent to a residential 
subdivision. Project facilities would include a 48-inch-diameter, 
buried, intake pipe that extends approximately 1,320 feet into the 
reservoir. Installation of this intake line would require dredging 
approximately 1,900 cubic yards of river bottom silt and sand, which 
would be disposed of at an offsite, upland location. The intake opening 
would be screened to minimize the entrainment and impingement of fish.
