approval to grant the City of Walhalla permission to use project lands

extending over the intake line, placement of rip rap along the stream 
bank and intake line, and installation of a stormwater outfall. The 
through-slot velocity at the intake screen will not exceed 0.5 feet per 
second. The raw water line would leave the project boundary and lead to

constructed, the facility would withdrawal up to 6.75 million gallons 
per day (mgd) from Lake Keowee.
