Duke Power Co.; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

November 7, 1994.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR Part 
380 (Order No. 486, 52 F.R. 47910), the Office of Hydropower Licensing 
(OHL) has reviewed the application to permit dredging and installation 
of an intake structure on Lake Norman of the Catawba-Wateree Project. 
The proposed facility would be operated by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg 
Utility Department and is part of a water supply project that includes 
the raw water intake structure, raw water transmission pipeline, water 
treatment plant, pumping facilities, and treated water transmission 
mains. The proposed facilities would provide an important source of 
high quality water that would support the area's population and 
economic growth.
    The staff of OHL's Division of Project Compliance and 
Administration has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the 
proposed action. In the EA, staff concludes that the licensee's 
proposal would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    All entities on the service list are invited to review and comment 
on the EA. Any comments should be specific and include the factual 
basis to support the comments. Any references to other documents should 
be properly cited to the appropriate page.
    An original and eight copies of any comments should be filed by 
November 28, 1994, with: The Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, Mail Code: DPCA HL 21.1, 825 North Capitol Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426.
    Questions concerning this EA may be referred to Mr. Jack Hannula at 
[phone].
    Copies of the EA are available for review in the Reference and 
Information Center, Room 3308, of the Commission's Offices at 941 North 
Capitol Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
