DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2232-480-NC]


Duke Power; A Division of Duke Energy Corporation; Notice of 
Availability of Environmental Assessment

May 23, 2006.
    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 FR 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed an application for non-project use of 
project lands and waters at the Catawba-Wateree Project (FERC No. 
2232), and has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the 
proposed non-project use. The project is located on Lake Wylie in 
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
    In the application, Duke Power (licensee) requests Commission 
authorization to lease to The Sanctuary at Lake Wylie, LLC and The 
Sanctuary Property Owners Association (The Sanctuary) 0.461 acre of 
project land for a commercial residential marina. The Sanctuary 
proposes to construct one cluster dock with ten boat slips and a 
covered fishing pier located adjacent to the cluster dock, an 
irrigation intake structure, and install 20,000 feet of shoreline 
stabilization. The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the 
probable environmental impacts of the proposal and concludes that 
approving the licensee's application, with staff's recommended 
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 
Modifying and Approving Non-Project Use of Project Lands and Waters'', 
issued May 23, 2006. The EA 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 dock number (prefaced by P-2232) and excluding the last 
three digits, in the docket number field to access the document. For
