DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 1895-007, South Carolina]


South Carolina Electric & Gas Company; Notice of Availability of 
Final Environmental Assessment

May 3, 2002.
    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 
Columbia Hydroelectric Project, located on the Broad and Congaree 
Rivers in the City of Columbia and Richland County, South Carolina, and 
has prepared a Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) for the project. 
There are no federal lands or Indian reservations occupied by project 
works or located within the project boundary.
    The FEA 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 FEA is on file with the Commission and is available 
for public inspection. The FEA 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).
    For further information, contact Charles Hall at (202) 219-2853.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
