Duke Energy Corporation; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

April 16, 1998.
    A environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review. The 
EA was prepared for an application filed by the Duke Energy 
Corporation, licensee for the Catawba-Wateree Hydroelectric Project. In 
its application, the licensee requests permission to grant an easement 
to Ipswitch Bay, LLC to construct a private residential marina 
consisting of five docks on Lake Norman near Mooresville in Iredell 
County, North Carolina. The proposal also involves dredging a 60,000 
square foot area of the lake (amounting to 8,500 cubic yards of 
sediment).
    Based on the environmental analyses presented in the EA, the 
Commission's staff has recommended allowing Duke Energy Corporation to 
grant the proposed easement for non-project use of project land. The EA 
finds that the proposed action would not constitute a major federal 
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
    The EA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the EA can be obtained 
by calling the Commission's public reference room at (202) 208-1371.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
