[Project No. 1267-108]


Greenwood County, South Carolina; Notice of Application Accepted 
for Filing, Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Protests

    Take notice that the following hydroelectric application has been 
filed with the Commission and is available for public inspection:
    a. Type of Application: Request for a Temporary Variance from 
Reservoir Level Requirements--Article 407.
    b. Project No.: 1267-108.
    c. Date Filed: August 14, 2015.
    d. Applicant: Greenwood County, South Carolina (licensee).
    e. Name of Project: Buzzards Roost Hydroelectric Project.
    f. Location: Greenwood, Laurens, and Newberry counties, South 
Carolina.
    g. Filed Pursuant to: Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 791(a)-825(r).
    h. Applicant Contact: Toby Chappell, County Manager, (864) 942-
8596, or tchappell@greenwoodsc.gov.
    i. FERC Contact: Joy Kurtz, (202) 502-6760, or joy.kurtz@ferc.gov.
    j. Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, protests, 
and recommendations is 30 days from the issuance date of this notice by 
the Commission.
    All documents may be filed electronically via the Internet. See, 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp. If unable to be 
filed electronically, documents may be paper-filed. To paper-file, an 
original and seven copies should be mailed to: Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 
20426. Commenters can submit brief comments up to 6,000 characters, 
without prior registration, using the eComment system at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/ecomment.asp. You must include your name and 
contact information at the end of your comments.
    Please include the project number (P-1267-108) on any comments, 
motions, or recommendations filed.
    k. Description of Request: The licensee requests a temporary 
variance from the requirements of license Article 407, which requires 
the licensee to maintain water levels in Lake Greenwood (i.e. 
reservoir) in accordance with the 1994 rule curve. Specifically, 
Article 407, as amended in 2010, requires the licensee to maintain a 
reservoir elevation of 439 feet mean sea level (msl) between April 15 
and November 1, and then gradually descend to 437 feet msl from 
November 1 to December 1, and then to 434.5 feet msl between December 1 
and January 15, where it shall remain until January 31. Finally, 
between February 1 and April 15, the licensee must gradually increase 
the reservoir level from 434.5 to 439 feet msl. The licensee indicates 
that, as a result of ongoing drought conditions throughout the 
watershed, it cannot simultaneously maintain the reservoir level and 
release the minimum flows required by Article 408. Because priority 
must be given to provide the required minimum flow in order to protect 
aquatic resources downstream of the project, a temporary variance from 
Article 407 is needed until inflows into Lake Greenwood reach normal 
inflow rates, or until April 15, 2016, whichever occurs first.
    l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is 
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public 
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street NE., Room 2A, Washington, 
DC 20426, or by calling (202) 502-8371. This filing may also be viewed

in the docket number field to access the document. You may also

    m. Individuals desiring to be included on the Commission's mailing 
list should so indicate by writing to the Secretary of the Commission.
    n. Comments, Protests, or Motions to Intervene: Anyone may submit 
comments, a protest, or a motion to intervene in accordance with the 
requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210, .211, 
.214. In determining the appropriate action to take, the Commission 
will consider all protests or other comments filed, but only those who
