[Project No. 2503-068]


Duke Power Company, a Division of Duke Energy; Notice of 
Availability of Environmental Assessment

February 18, 2004.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 
as amended, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations (18 CFR part 380), Commission staff have prepared an 
environmental assessment (EA) that analyzes the environmental impacts 
of allowing Duke Power Company, licensee for the Keowee-Jocassee 
Hydroelectric Project, to authorize the Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards (the 
Cliffs) use of project lands and waters. Specifically, the Cliffs 
purposes to excavate about 3,300 cubic yards of sediment material in an 
area about 785 feet in length, 49 feet in width, and 2.3 feet in depth 
for the purpose of providing safe access to the previously approved 
cluster docks serving the subdivision. The EA contains staff's analysis 
of the potential environmental impacts of the proposal and concludes 
that approval of the proposed action would not constitute a major 
Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment.
    A copy of the EA is attached to a February 5, 2004, Commission 
Order titled ``Order Approving Non-Project Use of Project Lands and 
Waters,'' which is available for review and reproduction at the 
Commission's Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., 
Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426. The EA may also 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, contact FERC Online Support at [email protected]
