[Project No. 516-452]


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

July 18, 2008.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part 
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879), the Office of Energy Projects has 
prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for an application filed by 
South Carolina Electric and Gas Company (SCE&G) (licensee) on January 
17, 2008, for a non-project use of project lands and waters at the 
Saluda Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No.516). Specifically, the 
licensee requests authorization to issue a permit to Lighthouse 
Developments, Inc. (Lighthouse) to install a community dock that would 
accommodate 84 watercraft, a boat launch ramp, and parking lot. The 
proposed facilities would provide boating access to the project's 
reservoir (Lake Murray) for homeowners in a new residential development 
known as Paradise Cove. The EA evaluates the environmental impacts that 
would likely result from Lighthouse's development proposal. The EA 
finds that approval of SCE&G's application would not constitute a major 
federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment.
    A copy of the EA is on file with the Commission and is available 
for public inspection. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission's 
Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the 
docket number (P-516) excluding the last three digits in the docket 
number field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC 
Online Support at [email protected],or toll-free at 1-866-208-

    Any comments should be filed by July 31, 2008, and should be 
addressed to the Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, NE., Room 1-A, Washington, DC 20426. Please reference the 
project name and project number (P-2686) on all comments. Comments may 
be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. The 
Commission strongly encourages electronic filings. See18 CFR
