DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 516-459]


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

July 20, 2010.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC's) 
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 380 (Order No. 
486, 52 Federal Register [FR] 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed South Carolina Electric and Gas Company's application for 
license for the Saluda Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 516), 
located on the Saluda River in Richland, Lexington, Saluda, and 
Newberry counties, near Columbia, South Carolina. The project does not 
occupy any Federal lands.
    This environmental assessment (EA) contains staff's analysis of the 
potential environmental effects of the project and concludes that 
licensing the project, with appropriate environmental protective 
measures, would not constitute a major federal action that would 
significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the EA is available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at 
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket 
number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to 
access the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at 
[email protected]; toll-free at 1-866-208-3676, or for TTY, 
202-502-8659.
    For further information, contact Lee Emery by telephone at (202) 
502-8379, or by e-mail at [email protected].

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
