Duke Energy Corporation; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

February 14, 2001.
    An environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review. 
The EA analyzes the environmental impacts of Duke Energy Corporation's 
(Duke) application to grant a non-project use of project land to City 
of York (York) to install a pipeline and intake, for raw water withdraw 
in Lake Wylie, a reservoir for the Catawba-Wateree Hydroelectric 
Project. Duke's proposed grant would also allow York to withdraw up to 
6 million gallons of water per day from Lake Wylie. The Catawba-Wateree 
Project is on the Catawba River in Lancaster, York, and Fairfield 
Counties, South Carolina, and Gaston, Lincoln, and Burke Counties, 
North Carolina.
    The EA was written by staff in the Office of Energy Projects, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. In the EA, Commission staff 
conclude that approving Duke's application to grant the use would not 
constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality 
of the human environment. Copies of the EA can be viewed on the web at 
www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm. Call (202) 208-2222 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.
