What are the fees going to be and who will have to pay? Will the lake community have to cover the cost of developing the plan?
AEP does not have plans to initiate annual fees for boat docks at the Smith Mountain Project. AEP does not plan to pass along the cost of developing the shoreline management plan to the lake community. There may be a fee for processing a new permit request in the future but only after a study period where actual costs can be determined. Under Article 41 of the FERC license, AEP can charge a reasonable fee to cover costs of administering a permit program, but they cannot profit from implementing such a permit program. A copy of Article 41 can be found in Appendix B of the Shoreline Management Plan.
