[Project No. 2232–356]

Duke Energy Corporation; Notice of

Availability of Environmental

Assessment

June 12, 1998.

An Environmental Assessment (EA) is

available for public review. The EA was

prepared for an application filed on

November 17, 1997, by the Duke Energy

Corporation, licensee for the CatawbaWateree Hydroelectric Project located in

North Carolina and South Carolina. In

its application, the licensee requests

that the Commission allow Harborside

Development, LLC., to excavate an

approximately 0.64 acre area of lake

bottom and to stabilize 295 feet of

shoreline on Lake Norman.

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.
