DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 1894-209]


Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment; Dominion 
Energy South Carolina Inc.

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) regulations, 
18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy 
Projects has reviewed an application submitted by Dominion Energy South 
Carolina Inc. (licensee) to allow Newberry Sand Inc. (NSI), in Newberry 
and Greene Counties, South Carolina, the use of Parr Shoals 
Hydroelectric (FERC No. 1894) project lands and waters to conduct 
hydraulic sand mining. The project is located on the mainstem of the 
Broad River Newberry and Fairfield Counties, South Carolina.
    An Environmental Assessment (EA) has been prepared as part of 
Commission staff's review of the proposal. In the application, NSI 
anticipates removing 23,500 tons of sand each year from the project 
reservoir. The dredge would pump sand to an upland processing area. 
This 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 with 
implementation of the staff recommendations.
    The EA is available for electronic 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 website at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' 
link. Enter the docket number (P-1894) in the docket number field to 
access the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at 
FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll-free at (866) 208-3372 or for TTY, 
(202) 502-8659.
