[Project No. 2210-095]


Appalachian Power Company; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

June 28, 2004.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed Appalachian Power Company's application requesting approval to 
permit Resource Partners, L.L.C. (permittee) to install and operate 
fifteen stationary docks with a total of 62 covered boat slips and 30 
floaters. Fourteen of the docks have four slips each and one dock has 
six slips. Each dock has two floaters, one on each side of the 
structure. There is one slip proposed per townhouse and the slips are 
being clustered into 15 docks. All of the described work is to take 
place within the project boundary of the Smith Mountain Project at the 
Cottages of Contentment Island development located along the Blackwater 
River portion of Smith Mountain Lake. A Draft Environmental Assessment 
(DEA) has been prepared for the proposal.
    The DEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental impacts of the project and concludes that approving the 
request with modifications would not constitute a major Federal action 
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the DEA is available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at 
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket 
number P-2210 in the docket number field to access the document. For

notice and should be addressed to Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC
