[Project No. 2232-543]


Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

August 1, 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 
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (licensee) on August 29, 2007, requesting 
Commission approval of a non-project use of project lands. The licensee 
has requested Commission authorization to lease to Long Island Marina, 
Inc. (Long Island) 3.239 acres of project lands for a commercial marina 
at the existing, previously approved Long Island Marina on Lake Norman 
in Catawba County, North Carolina. Long Island proposes to re-configure 
and upgrade the marina. Dredging of 1700 cubic yards of lake-bed would 
be required for this reconfiguration. The marina would serve the 
general public and the residents of Long Island Resorts.
    The EA evaluates the environmental impacts that would result from 
approving the licensee's proposal to grant Long Island permission to 
expand and reconfigure its marina facilities. The EA finds that 
approval of the 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-2232) 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-
3372, or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any comments should be filed by September 2, 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-2232) on all comments. Comments may 
be filed electronically via Internet in lieu of paper. The Commission 
strongly encourages electronic filings.
