k. Description of Request: Georgia Power Company is requesting
Commission approval to permit 1054 Lake Oconee Parkway, LLC (applicant)
to construct a commercial marina on the site of an existing commercial
development (i.e., Jerry's Bait and Tackle) that has closed. The
applicant proposes to construct a commercial marina and dry boat
storage facility that would include a stationary, wooden dock that
could accommodate 18 watercraft, a concrete walkway, and two concrete
ramps (one of which would be used as the launch serving the dry storage
operation). The dock would not extend farther than 50 feet into the
water, would include a fuel pump platform (with two pumps and four
dispensers), and would follow the licensee's shoreline management
guidelines. Since filing its marina application, on June 18, 2020, the
licensee received a new license to continue operating the Wallace Dam
project.
