DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2232-428]


Duke Energy Corporation; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

October 15, 2003.
    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 F.R. 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects' staff has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) 
for an application requesting Commission approval for a revised 
Shoreline Management Plan (SMP). The proposed SMP is intended to 
supercede the approved SMP including the classification maps. The EA 
addresses proposed revisions to SMP for the Catawba-Wateree Project. 
The SMP and maps address the allowable uses of 1,727 miles of shoreline 
for the 11 project reservoirs located in North Carolina and South 
Carolina.
    The EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
impacts of the proposal and concludes that approval of the proposal 
would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the 
quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the EA is attached to a Commission order titled ``Order 
Granting and Modifying Revised Shoreline Management Plan'' (which is 
available for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room, or 
it may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov 
using the ``elibrary'' link. Enter the docket number (prefaced by P-) 
and excluding the last three digits, in the docket number field to 
access the document. For assistance, call (866) 208-3676, or (202) 502-
8659 (for TTY).
