Virginia Electric and Power Company; Notice of Availability of 
Final Environmental Assessment

August 27, 1997.
    An environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review. 
The EA is for an application for non-project use of project lands and 
waters. The application is to permit the City of South Hill, Virginia, 
to construct, operate and maintain a water intake facility within the 
Gaston and Roanoke Rapids Project boundary in Lake Gaston for 
withdrawal of up to 7.0 million gallons per day of water for municipal 
purposes. The EA finds that approval of the application would not 
constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality 
of the human environment. The Project is located on the Roanoke River, 
Virginia and North Carolina.
    The EA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the EA can be viewed in 
the Reference and Information Center, Room 2A, of the Commission's 
Offices at 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426.
    For further information, please contact the project manager, Mr. 
Robert Grieve at [phone].
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
