    k. Description of Application: Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (Duke), 
licensee for the Keowee-Toxaway Hydroelectric Project, has filed an 
application seeking authorization from the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission to lease to The Reserve at Lake Keowee (The Reserve), 10.77 
acres of project lands located on Lake Keowee in Pickens County, South 
Carolina for access to the reservoir and the development of certain 
facilities that would serve the residents of The Reserve.
    The Reserve proposes to develop Commercial/Residential and 
Commercial/Non-residential marina facilities at the site, consisting of 
23 cluster docks with a total of 304 boat dock locations, an irrigation 
pump that would withdraw up to 2 million gallons of water a day from 
the lake, a docking location for fuel pumping and sewer pumpout 
facilities, and a dry stack storage facility that can accommodate up to 
624 boats and includes a boat launching pier. The proposal would also 
involve dredging of 6,300 cubic yards of material, the use of a ferry 
to provide water access for property owners and golf carts to various 
locations on Lake Keowee (the ferry will not be moored at the site), 
and implementation of a mitigation plan to address existing 
encroachments of the golf course on project lands. The planned 
mitigation requires The Reserve to make various improvements to the 
project's Crow Creek Public Access Area and to provide ongoing 
maintenance of the area.
