Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2416-009 South Carolina]


Aquenergy Systems, Inc.; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

October 19, 2001.
    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 Energy Projects has reviewed the application for license for the 
Ware Shoals Hydroelectric Project and has prepared a Draft 
Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the project. The project is located 
on the Saluda River, in the Town of Ware Shoals, within the counties of 
Laurens, Greenwood, and Abbeville, 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.
    A copy of the DEA is on file with the Commission and is available 
for public inspection. The DEA may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS'' link--select ``Docket#'' and follow the 
instructions (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    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, D.C. 
20426. Please affix Project No. 2416-009 to all comments. Comments may 
be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's web site 
under the ``e-Filing'' link.
    For further information, contact Timothy Looney at (202) 219-2852.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
