Commission

[Project No. 2232–331]

Duke Energy Corporation; Notice of

Availability of Environmental

Assessment

May 15, 1998.

An Environmental Assessment (EA) is

available for public review. The EA was

prepared for an application filed by the

Duke Energy Corporation, licensee for

the Catawba-Wateree Hydroelectric

Project. In its application filed on

August 9, 1996, the licensee requests

permission to grant an easement of

project property to Overlook Properties

to construct one boat ramp and 180

floating boat slips at 10 locations. The

proposed facilities would provide

access for residents of Overlook

Subdivision to Mountain Island Lake

near Charlotte in Mecklenberg County,

North Carolina. On May 29, 1997, the

licensee filed a supplement to permit

Overlook Properties, Inc. to dredge a

0.86-acre area to improve water depth

for boating access.

The EA finds that the proposed action

would not be a major federal action

significantly affecting the quality of the

human environment.

The EA was written by staff in the

Office of Hydropower Licensing,

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

Copies of the EA can be obtained by

calling the Commission’s public

reference room at (202) 208–1371.
