DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Project No. 2232–393]

Duke Energy Corporation; Notice of

Availability of Draft Environmental

Assessment

June 19, 2000.

A draft environmental assessment

(DEA) is available for public review.

The DEA analyzes the environmental

impacts of proposed revisions to the

shoreline classification maps for the

Catawba-Wateree Project Shoreline

Management Plan (SMP). The licensee

for the project is Duke Energy

Corporation (Duke). The maps address

the allowable uses of 1,635 miles of

shoreline for the 11 project reservoirs

located in North and South Carolina.

The maps are supported by results of

Duke’s Shallow Water Fish Habitat

Study (SWFHS). Also, addressed in this

DEA is the Shoreline Stabilization

Technique Selection Process (SSTSP).

The proposed revisions to the shoreline

classification maps are an integral part

of the SMP for the project.

On the basis of this independent

environmental assessment, approval of

the revised reclassification maps would

not constitute a major federal action that

would significantly affect the quality of

the human environment.

The DEA was written by Commission

staff in the Office of Energy Projects,

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

Copies of the DEA can be viewed on the

web at www.ferc.fed.us/online/

rims.htm. Call (202) 208–2222 for

assistance. Copies are also available for

inspection and reproduction at the
