South Carolina Electric & Gas Company, et al.; Availability of
Draft Environmental Assessment
April 11, 1995.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's)
Regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the applications for new licenses
for the following three existing hydroelectric Projects, all of which
are located on the Broad River: (1) The Neal Shoals Project (No. 2315-
002), located in Chester and Union County, South Carolina, near
Carlisle, SC; (2) the Ninety-Nine Islands Project (No. 2331-002),
located in Cherokee County, South Carolina near Gaffney, SC; and (3)
the Gaston Shoals Project (No. 2332-003), located in Cherokee County,
South Carolina and Cleveland County, North Carolina, near
[[Page 19249]] Gaffney, SC. The Commission has prepared a Draft
Multiple Project Environmental Assessment (Draft EA) covering all three
projects. In the Draft EA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the
existing and potential future environmental impacts of the projects and
has concluded that licensing the projects, with appropriate
environmental protective or enhancement measures, would not constitute
a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of
the human environment.
Copies of the Draft EA are available for review in the Public
Reference Branch, Room 3104, of the Commission's offices at 941 North
Capitol Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426.
Any comments should be filed within 45 days from the date of this
notice and should be addressed to Lois D. Cashell, Secretary, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, N.E.,
Washington, D.C. 20426. For further information, contact Tim Looney,
Environmental Coordinator, at (202) 219-2852.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
