Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2503-091]

 
Duke Power Company, LLC; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

June 30, 2006.
    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 for non-project use of 
project lands and

[[Page 38876]]

waters at the Keowee-Toxaway Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2503), and 
has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed non-
project use. The non-project use of project lands and waters is located 
on Lake Keowee in Pickens County, South Carolina.
    In the application, Duke Power requests Commission authorization to 
lease 63 acres of project land to Warpath Development, Inc. to 
construct and maintain a public recreation area at the Warpath Access 
Area. The public recreation area would include water related facilities 
and services, outdoor recreation opportunities, lodging, and dining. 
The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the probable 
environmental impacts of the proposal and concludes that approving the 
licensee's application 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 Approving 
Non-Project Use of Project Lands and Waters,'' which was issued June 
30, 2006, 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 project number (prefaced by P-) and excluding the last 
three digits, in the docket number field to access the document. For 
assistance, contact FERC Online Support at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov 
or toll-free at (866) 208-3676, or for TTY, contact (202) 502-8659.

Secretary.
