DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission


Duke Power, A Division of Duke Energy Corporation, South 
Carolina; Project No. 2503-080; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

September 13, 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), the Commission's staff have reviewed an 
application for non-project use of project lands and waters at the 
Keowee-Jocassee Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2503) and have prepared 
an Environmental Assessment (EA) on the application. The project 
consists of two reservoirs, Lake Jocassee and Lake Keowee. The proposed 
site for non-project use is in Oconee County, South Carolina, located 
on Lake Keowee. Lake Keowee is located on the Keowee River.
    Specifically, the project licensee (Duke Power) has requested 
Commission approval to permit Keowee Town Houses, LLC, to construct and 
operate a commercial/residential marina on Lake Keowee. The marina will 
include 10 cluster docks with a total of 56 boat slips, and will be 
used privately by the residents of The Towne Homes at Keowee 
subdivision. In the EA, Commission staff analyzed probable 
environmental effects of the proposed marina improvements and have 
concluded that approval of the proposal, with appropriate environmental 
measures, 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 
Approving Non-project Use of Project Lands and Waters,'' which was 
issued August 25, 2004 and is available for review in Public Reference 
Room 2-A of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC. The EA also may be viewed on the Commission's Web site 
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``e-library'' link. Enter the docket 
number (prefaced by P-) and excluding the last three digits, in the
