DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project Nos. 2503-136]


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

May 10, 2010.
    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 submitted by Duke Energy 
Carolinas, LLC (licensee) for non-project use of project lands and 
waters at the Keowee-Toxaway Project (FERC No. 2503). An environmental 
assessment (EA) has been prepared as part of staff's review of the 
proposal. The proposed use would be located on Lake Keowee in Oconee 
County, South Carolina.
    In the application, the licensee proposes to issue a lease to 
Sleppy, LLC, to build a residential marina for the Wilderness Cove 
subdivision. The proposed marina would consist of 2 floating, cluster 
docks accommodating a total of 30 watercraft, one concrete boat ramp, 
and 189 linear feet of rip-rap inter-planted with native vegetation. 
The boat ramp would serve a private, dry-dock boat-storage facility 
intended for the residents of Wilderness Cove subdivision, which would 
be located outside of the project boundary. The EA contains Commission 
staff's analysis of the probable environmental impacts of the proposed 
action and concludes that approval of the proposal 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 Non-Project Use of Project Lands and Waters,'' which was 
issued May 10, 2010, 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 docket number (P-2503) in the docket number field to 
access the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at

Secretary.
