South Carolina Electric & Gas Company; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

August 8, 2008.
    An environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review. 
The EA was prepared for an application filed by South Carolina Electric 
& Gas Company on October 26, 2007, requesting the Commission's 
authorization to permit the Columbia County Water and Sewerage System 
(Columbia) to increase the maximum allowable rate of water withdrawn 
from the Stevens Creek Project reservoir from 10 to 47.1 million 
gallons per day.
    The EA evaluates the environmental impacts that would result from 
permitting Columbia to withdraw additional water from the Stevens Creek 
reservoir. The proposal would include no construction activity because 
the existing facilities are sufficient to allow the increase in water 
withdrawn. The EA finds that approval of the application would not 
constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality 
of the human environment.
    A copy of the EA is attached to a Commission order titled ``Order 
Modifying and Approving Non-Project Use of Project Lands and Waters,'' 
issued August 8, 2008, and is available for review at the Commission in 
the Public Reference Room, or it may be viewed on the Commission's Web 
site at http://www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link. Enter the docket 
number ``P-2535'' in the docket field to access the document. For 
assistance, call toll-free 1-(866)-208-3372 or (202) 502-8659 (for 
TTY).
