In accordance with this requirement, Georgia Power Company (GPC) hereby submits a Letter of Permission (number '074 OYN 006556), from the Army Corps of Engineers, dated August '24,1987, providing for the installation of a temporary diversion boom and air curtain in the Altamaha river, upstream of the Plant Hatch intake structure, l' The diversion device is necessary to reduce the large volume of algae being collected on the traveling screens due to a recent algae bloom on the Altamaha river. No adverse environmental impact is anticipated from i the installation of the diversion device. A minimal amount of. river-l: m6 strate disturbance will result temporarily from ' the installation of the air diffuser pipe. The air curtain produced by the diffuser will-reivit in localized elevated dissolved oxygen levels around the intake m inity. The elevated oxygen levels should be beneficial to the surrounding aquatic community. Because the' diversion' boom and. ai r curtain is expected to be removed before January 1988, no effect on fish migration is anticipated. l 8710010288 870922 \\ CCh gDR ADOCK 0 321 i ) t
