PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given that
Alcoa Power Generating, Inc. has ap-
plied to the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality for a Water Quality Certif-
ication pursuant to Section 401 of the
Federal Clean Water Act and Water
Quality Commission rules in 15A NCAC
2H .0500. The activity for this Certifica-
tion is sought to issue a 401 Certifica-
tion for the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission license for the Yadkin Hy-
droelectric Project (FERC No. 2197) in
Stanly County for dams at High Rock
Reservoir, Tuckertown Reservoir, Nar-
rows Reservoir and Falls Reservoir.
The application for the project includes
plans to address dissolved oxygen is-
sues in the Yadkin River downstream of
the dams, modify the minimum low flow

in the river. In addition, water quality-
related items in the Relicensing Settle-
ment Agreement dated February 2007
are also proposed to be incorporated
into the 401 Certification as well as a
condition related to the removal of sedi-
mentation at the City of Salisbury water
intake on the Yadkin River. The Divi-
sion issued a 401 Certification for this
project on November 16, 2007. Howev-
er that Certification is hereby revoked
because conditions under which the
certification was made have changed

sion plans to reissue a Certification for
this project after the public comment
period has closed and after we have
considered all information submitted to
