[Project No. 2620-005 South Carolina]


Lockhart Power Company; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

June 25, 1999.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
Regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for a new license 
for the Lockhart Hydroelectric Project, and has prepared a Draft 
Environmental Assessment (DEA). The project is located on the Broad 
River, near the town of Lockhart, in Union, Chester, York, and Cherokee 
counties, South Carolina. No federal lands or facilities are occupied 
or used by the project. The DEA contains the staff's analysis of the 
potential environmental impacts of the project and concludes that 
licensing the project, with appropriate environmental protective 
measures, would not constitute a major federal action that would 
significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the DEA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Room, Room 2A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE, 
Washington, DC 20426.
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 
20426. For further information, contact Charles
