DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project Nos. 2503-136]
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC; Notice of Availability of
Environmental Assessment
May 10, 2010.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed an application submitted by Duke Energy
Carolinas, LLC (licensee) for non-project use of project lands and
waters at the Keowee-Toxaway Project (FERC No. 2503). An environmental
assessment (EA) has been prepared as part of staff's review of the
proposal. The proposed use would be located on Lake Keowee in Oconee
County, South Carolina.
In the application, the licensee proposes to issue a lease to
Sleppy, LLC, to build a residential marina for the Wilderness Cove
subdivision. The proposed marina would consist of 2 floating, cluster
docks accommodating a total of 30 watercraft, one concrete boat ramp,
and 189 linear feet of rip-rap inter-planted with native vegetation.
The boat ramp would serve a private, dry-dock boat-storage facility
intended for the residents of Wilderness Cove subdivision, which would
be located outside of the project boundary. The EA contains Commission
staff's analysis of the probable environmental impacts of the proposed
action and concludes that approval of the proposal would not constitute
a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment.
The EA is attached to a Commission order titled ``Order Modifying
and Approving Non-Project Use of Project Lands and Waters,'' which was
issued May 10, 2010, and is available for review and reproduction at
the Commission's Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street,
NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426. The EA may also be viewed on the
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``elibrary''
link. Enter the docket number (P-2503) in the docket number field to
access the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at
