Virginia Electric and Power Co.; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

June 24, 1994.
    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 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of 
Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for Non-project Use 
of Project Lands and Waters at the Gaston and Roanoke Rapids Project 
(FERC No. 2009), located on the Roanoke River, and has prepared a Final 
Environmental Assessment (FEA). The proposed water intake and pipeline 
would be located in Brunswick, Greenville, Sussex, Southampton and Isle 
of Wight Counties, Virginia.
    Copies of the FEA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Branch, Room 3104, of the Commission's offices at 941 North Capitol 
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
    Based on the conclusions reached in the FEA, the Commission will 
prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) for the proposed 
action. Notice of the intent to prepare an EIS will soon be published 
in the Federal Register.
    As you review the FEA, please note additional information that 
should be included in the EIS and provide that information with your 
scoping comments for the EIS. All parties will be notified of the time 
and location for scoping meetings that will be conducted related to the 
preparation of the EIS, and the procedures for providing written 
scoping comments. This notification will also be provided in a Federal 
Register notice.

    For further information, please contact Steve Edmondson at (202) 
219-2653.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
