City of Abbeville; Notice of Intent to Conduct a Site Visit

March 7, 1996.
    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) has received 
an application for an original license for the Abbeville Hydroelectric 
Project (FERC No. 11286) operated by the City of Abbeville (Abbeville) 
on the Rocky River in Abbeville and Anderson Counties, South Carolina.
    Upon review of the application, supplemental filings, and 
intervenor submittals, the Commission staff has concluded that staff 
will prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) that describes and 
evaluates the probable impacts of the applicant's proposals and 
alternatives for the project. The Commission issued a Scoping Document 
on February 14, 1996 for which comments are due on or before March 15, 
1996.
    A site visit to the project facilities is scheduled for April 3 and 
4, 1996. The purpose of this visit is for interested persons to observe 
the existing area resources and site conditions, learn the locations of 
proposed new facilities, and discuss project operational procedures 
with representatives of Abbeville and the Commission.

Times and Directions

April 3, 1996
    2:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.
April 4, 1996
    9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.

    Both visits will begin at Lake Secession Dam. The dam is located on 
Rocky River Road. From I-85 take Route 28 south exit to Anderson and 
continue south to Antreville. From Antreville (from the north) or 
Abbeville (from the south), follow Route 28 to Sailor's Store. At 
Sailor's Store (closed), take State Road 72. Go west on SR72 and cross 
over Lake Russell (one can see the dam from the bridge over Lake 
Russell). Continue up a hill and take the first right onto Rocky River 
Road and proceed to the dam.
    On April 4, we have planned a boat trip on Lake Secession. In order 
to ensure that the boat can accommodate everyone who attends the site 
visit, people will need to call in advance and confirm their attendance 
on the second day. We may not be able to accommodate people who do not 
call at least 4 days in advance.
    For further information, please contact John McEachern at (202) 
219-3056.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
