Duke Power Company; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

June 26, 1997.
    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 FR 47910), the Office of Hydropower Licensing 
(OHL) has reviewed an application for non-project use of project lands 
and waters. Duke Power Company proposes to permit the Town of Davidson 
to excavate Davidson Pond, a small embayment of Lake Norman, the 
project reservoir. The Town of Davidson requests permission to remove 
about 14,000 cubic yards of material to re-establish the shoreline and 
pond bottom to its original size, shape, and depth. In the EA, staff 
concludes that approval of the licensee's proposal would not constitute 
a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment. The pond is located within the Catawba-Wateree Project in 
the Town of Davidson, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
    The EA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the EA are available 
for review at the Commission's Reference and Information Center, Room 
2-A, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. Additional 
information can be obtained by calling the project manager, Brian 
Romanek at [phone].
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
