Yadkin, Inc., Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental 
Assessment

February 1, 2000.
    A draft environmental assessment (DEA) is available for public 
review. The DEA analyzes the environmental impacts of a Shoreline 
Management Plan (SMP) filed for the Yadkin Hydroelectric Project 
located on the Yadkin-Pee Dee River in Montgomery, Stanly, Davidson and 
Rowan Counties, North Carolina. The Yadkin Project contains the 
following reservoirs: High Rock, Tuckertown, Narrows (Badin) and Falls.
    The DEA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Commission staff believe the SMP 
would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the 
quality of the human environment. Copies of the DEA can be viewed on 
the web at www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm. Call (202) 208-222 for 
assistance. Copies are also available for inspection and reproduction 
at the Commission's Public Reference Room located at 888 First Street, 
NE, Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, or by calling (202) 208-1371.
    Anyone may file comments on the DEA. The public, federal and state 
resource agencies are encouraged to provide comments. All written 
comments must be filed within 60 days of the issuance date of this 
notice shown above. Send an original and eight copies of all comments 
marked with the project number P-2197-035 to: The Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 
20426. Oral comments on the DEA will be taken by Commission staff at a 
public meeting to be scheduled in the vicinity of the Yadkin Project. 
The exact date, time and location of the public meeting have not yet 
been determined. Commission staff will issue a separate notice when the 
exact date, time and location of the public meeting are finalized. If 
you have any questions regarding this notice, pleas call Steve Hocking 
at (202) 219-2656.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
