Final Environmental Impact Statement for             the Catawba-Wateree Hydroelectric Project (Project No.             2232-522)Issued: July 23, 2009 Commission Staff             prepared a final Environmental Impact Statement for the relicensing             of the existing Duke Power Company, LLC Catawba-Wateree Project. The             developments analyzed in the document are located in the counties of             Burke, McDowell, Caldwell, Catawba, Alexander, Iredell, Mecklenburg,             Lincoln, and Gaston in North Carolina, and the counties of York,             Lancaster, Chester, Fairfield, and Kershaw in South             Carolina.Duke Energy used the Traditional Licensing Process             and filed the license application for the Catawba-Wateree project on             August 29, 2006, and filed a Revised Comprehensive Relicensing             Agreement on December 28, 2006. Duke Energy requested that the             measures included in the Revised CRA be considered by the Commission             as their proposed action, which Commission staff did in its scoping             documents. Duke Energy proposes no new capacity or operating             changes, but does propose measures for the protection and             enhancement of environmental resources, including increased minimum             flows, measures to increase dissolved oxygen levels and water             quality, measures to improve aquatic habitat and protect threatened             and endangered species, and measures to maintain and enhance             recreational opportunities. The draft EIS was issued March             9, 2009. Public meetings were held on April 21 and 22, 2009 in             Mooresville NC and Rock Hill SC, respectively.In the final             EIS, Commission staff recommended the staff alternative, which             consisted of the proposed action, with some recommended changes to             the proposed settlement articles.
