Duke Power Company; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

January 4, 2005.
    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 Catawba-Wateree 
Hydroelectric Project, to grant a lease of two parcels of land, 
totaling 1.918 acres, to Lake James Properties, LLC, for the purpose of 
constructing a residential/commercial marina. The marina will be 
located on Lake James, one of the project's 11 reservoirs, in McDowell 
County, North Carolina. The facility will accommodate a total of 110 
boat slips, and will provide access to the reservoir for the residents 
of The Arbor on Lake James subdivision.
    A copy of the EA is attached to a Commission order titled ``Order 
Modifying and Approving Non-Project Use of Project Lands and Waters,'' 
which was issued on December 15, 2004, and 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
