Chandra Coffee and Rabun Boatworks, 

Complainants v. Georgia Power 

Company, Respondent; Notice of 

Complaint 

February 3, 2010. 

Take notice that on December 14, 

2009, as amended on January 8, 2010, 

Chandra Coffee and Rabun Boatworks 

(Complainants) filed with the Federal 

Regulatory Commission (Commission or 

FERC) a complaint against Georgia 

Power Company (Respondent), licensee 

of the North Georgia Hydroelectric 

Project No. 2354. Complainants own 

and operate a storage and boat rental 

business approximately one mile from 

Lake Rabun. Complainants, after 

contracting with boating customers offsite, place boats in the water, assist in 

loading and unloading boaters, and 

facilitate retrieval of boats from the 

water at the Lake Rabun Recreation 

Area. Complainants allege that 

Respondent has impermissibly denied 

them access to the public boat ramp at 

the Lake Rabun Recreation Area, part of 

the Respondent’s North Georgia Project. 

Complainants request that the 

Commission investigate and assert that 

Respondent has not complied with its 

FERC license. 

Complainants certify that a copy of 

the complaint was served on counsel for 

Georgia Power Company.

Commission 

[Project No. 2232–566] 

Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC; Notice of 

Availability of Environmental 

Assessment 

February 3, 2010. 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 

amended, and the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission’s (Commission) 

regulations, (18 CFR Part 380), 

Commission staff has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) 

regarding Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC’s 

(Duke), licensee for the CatawbaWateree Project, request for approval of 

an agreement between the Town of 

Mooresville, North Carolina 

(Mooresville) and Duke, authorizing 

Mooresville to operate and maintain 

expanded water intake facilities and 

withdraw water from Lake Norman. The 

Catawba-Wateree Project (FERC No. 

2232) is located on the Catawba and 

Wateree Rivers, in nine counties in 

North Carolina and five counties in 

South Carolina. Lake Norman is the fifth 

reservoir in the series of reservoirs used 

by the project, and is located on the 

Catawba River. 

In its application, Duke proposes to 

grant an expansion of Mooresville’s 

water intake facilities and increase 

Mooresville’s water withdrawal rate 

from Lake Norman. The existing water 

intake structure would be expanded by 

connecting a new pipe to the existing 

water intake structure and the existing 

pumping plant located on Mooresvilleowned property within the project 

boundary. Mooresville has requested 

that the expanded facility have a gross 

maximum allowable water withdrawal 

rate of 18 million gallons per day 

(MGD), a 6 MGD increase from the 

current approved maximum withdrawal 

rate of 12 MGD, as approved by the 

Commission on August 23, 2005. The 

water intake and pump facility are 

located in Iredell County, North 

Carolina. 

The EA is attached to a Commission 

order titled, ‘‘Order Modifying and 

Approving Non-Project Use of Project 

Lands and Waters,’’ which was issued 

February 3, 2010, and is available for 

review at the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room, or it may be viewed on 

the Commission’s Web site at http:// 

www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.
