[Project No. 2232–413 South Carolina]

Duke Energy Corporation; Notice of

Availability of Environmental

Assessment

June 4, 2001.

An environmental assessment (EA) is

available for public review. The EA

analyzes the environmental impacts of

Duke Energy Corporation’s (Duke)

application to grant a non-project use of

project land to City of York (York) to

install a pipeline and intake, for raw

water withdrawal, in Lake Wylie, a

reservoir for the Catawba-Wateree

Hydroelectric Project. Duke’s proposed

grant would also allow York to

withdrawal up to 6 million gallons of

water per day from Lake Wylie. The

Catawba-Wateree Project is on the

Catawba River in Lancaster, York, and

Fairfield Counties, South Carolina, and

Gaston, Lincoln, and Burke Counties,

North Carolina.

The EA was written by staff in the

Office of Energy Projects, Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission. In the

EA, Commission staff conclude that

approving Duke’s application to grant

the use would not constitute a major

federal action significantly affecting the

quality of the human environment.

Copies of the EA can be viewed on the

web at www.ferc.fed.us/online/

rims.htm. Call (202) 208–2222 for

assistance. Copies are also available for

inspection and reproduction at the

Commission’s Public Reference Room,

located at 888 First Street, NE., Room

2A, Washington DC 20426, or by calling

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Project No. 2114–091 Washington]

Public Utility District No. 2 of Grant

County Washington; Notice of

Availability of Environmental

Assessment

June 4, 2001.

In accordance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and

the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission’s (Commission)

regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No.

486, 52 FR 47910), the Office of Energy

Projects has reviewed Public Utility

District No. 2 of Grant County’s

application for an amendment to

temporarily waive for the current year

the spill flow requirements applicable to

its Priest Rapids Project, located on the

Columbia River in Grant, Yakima,

Kittitas, Douglas, Benton and Chelan

Counties, Washington and has prepared

an Environmental Assessment (EA). The

project occupies 3,051.92 acres of

federal lands administered by the

Bureau of Land Management

Department of Energy, Department of

Army, Bureau of Reclamation, and the

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The EA contains the staff’s analysis of

the potential environmental impacts of

the proposed amendment and

alternatives developed by staff and

concludes that approval of the staff

recommended alternative would not

constitute a major federal action that

would significantly affect the quality of

the human environment.

The EA is attached to a Commission

order issued on June 1, 2001 for the

above application. Copies of the EA are

available for review at the Commission’s

Public Reference Room, located at 888

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426,

or by calling (202) 208–1371. The EA

may be viewed on the web at http://
