Photograph: Alabama Cooperative Extension System Call us before you build Alabama Power shoreline managers are here to help you navigate the ownership rights and reservoir characteristics specific to your lake. Because Alabama Power lakes are licensed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), each lake has unique operating requirements. To comply with Alabama Power's program, you must get a permit before beginning construction or making changes to existing facilities or the shorelines. Please call your shoreline manager at the numbers listed below and they will be happy to assist you. Effective Jan. 1, 2020, permit fees are increasing. Visit apcshorelines.com/permits to view the updated fee structure. If you submit your permit application prior to Jan. 1, 2020, current fees will still be in effect. If you have any questions, please reach out to the Shoreline Management office near you.
