DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

 [Project No. 516-417]


South Carolina Electric & Gas Company; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

October 24, 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 Saluda Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 
516), and has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the 
proposed non-project use. The project is located on Lake Murray, in 
Lexington County, South Carolina.
    In the application, South Carolina Electric & Gas Company requests 
Commission authorization to permit the use of almost 2.0 acres of 
project lands that lie below the 360-foot-msl-contour (full pool 
elevation) to construct a 100-slip docking facility and a boat launch 
for the residents of Pintail Point subdivision. 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 measures and modifications, would not 
constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality 
of the human environment.
    The EA is attached to a Commission order titled ``Order Modifying 
and Approving Application for Non-Project Use of Project Lands and 
Waters,'' which was issued October 10, 2006, 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 viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov 
using the ``elibrary'' link. Enter the project number (prefaced by P-) 
and excluding the last three digits, in the docket number field to

Secretary.
