Duke Power Company; Notice of Availability of Environmental
Assessment
May 1, 1997.
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 F.R. 47897), the Office
of Hydropower Licensing (OHL) has reviewed Duke Power Company's
application requesting Commission authorization to: (1) Grant an
easement to the Town of Valdese, North Carolina (Valdese) to expand its
raw water withdrawal facilities on 0.04 acres of land within the
boundary of the Catawba-Wateree Project, and (2) allow Valdese to
withdraw up to 12 million gallons per day (mgd) of water from Lake
Rhodhiss.
The staff of OHL's Division of Licensing and Compliance has
prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed action. In
the EA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the environmental impacts
of the proposed project and has concluded that approval of the
licensee's proposal would not constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
Copies of the EA are available for review in the Public Reference
Branch, Room 2A of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426 or by calling the Commission's Public Reference
Room at (202) 208-1371.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
