[Project No. 2009–003, North Carolina]

Virginia Electric and Power Company;

Amendment to Application

May 16, 1995.

On May 12, 1995, the Virginia Electric

and Power Company, licensee for the

Gaston and Roanoke Rapids Project,

filed an amendment to its application

for Nonproject Use of Project Lands and

Water. The original application, filed on

February 20, 1991, proposed to allow

the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia to

construct a water intake structure on

lake Gaston in order to convey up to 60

mgd of water to a water supply reservoir

in Norfolk, Virginia. The City of Virginia

Beach would access the water from this

reservoir.

On July 1, 1994, the Commission staff

issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement and to

Conduct Scoping Meetings. On January

27, 1995, the Commission staff issued a

Draft Environmental Impact Statement

(DEIS) for public review and comment.

The DEIS noted that before the

Commission makes a decision on the

proposal it would take into account all

concerns relevant to the public interest,

and that the Final Environmental

Impact Statement (FEIS) would be part

of the record from which the

Commission makes its decision.

Attached to the amendment to the

application filed on May 12, 1995, is a

settlement agreement entered into by

the State of North Carolina and the City

of Virginia Beach, dated April 28, 1995.

In the amendment, the applicant

requests that the Commission: (1)

Analyze those provisions of the

agreement which relate to the

withdrawal of water from Project No.

2009 and the use of such water, as well

as the other portions of the agreement

which may affect the Commission’s

environmental analysis of the pending

application, and reflect those provisions

in the Commission’s environmental

analysis: and (2) approve the

application as modified by the

amendment based on a finding that

operation of the project in accordance

with the application, as modified, and

the terms of the agreement would be in

the public interest. The provisions of

the settlement agreement related to the

withdrawal of water from Lake Gaston

contain certain limitations to that

withdrawal under defined

circumstances. The amendment to the

application further notes that, ‘‘Nothing

in this Amended Application or in the

Settlement should be construed as

requesting that the Commission approve

water withdrawals in excess of 60 mgd.’’

Federal, state, and local resource

agencies, and other interested groups

and individuals are requested to

forward to the Commission, any

comments or information that they

believe will assist the Commission in

conducting an accurate and thorough

analysis of the amendment to

application.

Comments and information must be

submitted in writing and received no

later than June 12, 1995. Reply

comments must be filed in writing and

received no later than June 22, 1995.

Written comments, information, and

reply comments should be sent to:

Commission, Mail Code: HL–21.1, 825
