Virginia Electric Power Company; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

June 18, 1996.
    A draft environmental assessment (DEA) is available for public 
review. The DEA is for an application to amend the Gaston and Roanoke 
Rapids Hydroelectric Project. The application is to provide for the 
installation of a water supply intake and associated facilities at Lake 
Gaston for the City of South Hill. The DEA finds that approval of the 
application would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment. The Gaston and Roanoke 
Rapids Hydroelectric Project is located on the Roanoke River in 
Mecklenburg and Brunswick Counties, Virginia and Warren, Northampton, 
and Halifax Counties, North Carolina.
    The DEA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the DEA can be viewed 
at the Commission's Public Reference Room, Room 2A, 888 First Street, 
N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. Copies can also be obtained by calling 
the project manager listed below.
    Please submit any comments within 40 days from the date of this 
notice. Any comments, conclusions, or recommendations that draw upon 
studies, reports or other working papers of substance should be 
supported by appropriate documentation.
    Comments should be addressed to Lois D. Cashell, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 
20426. Please affix Project No. 2009-009 to all comments. For further 
information, please contact the project manager, John A. Schnagl, at 
(202) 219-2661.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
