[Project No. 2232-331]


Duke Energy Corporation; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

May 15, 1998.
    An 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 filed on August 9, 1996, the licensee requests 
permission to grant an easement of project property to Overlook 
Properties to construct one boat ramp and 180 floating boat slips at 10 
locations. The proposed facilities would provide access for residents 
of Overlook Subdivision to Mountain Island Lake near Charlotte in 
Mecklenberg County, North Carolina. On May 29, 1997, the licensee filed 
a supplement to permit Overlook Properties, Inc. to dredge a 0.86-acre 
area to improve water depth for boating access.
    The EA finds that the proposed action would not be 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.
