DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2232-855]
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC; Notice of Availability of
Environmental Assessment
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, Commission staff reviewed Duke Energy
Carolinas, LLC's (Duke Energy) application for an amendment of license
to implement the Mountain Island embankment seismic stability
improvement project at the Mountain Island development of the Catawba-
Wateree Project No. 2232 and has prepared an Environmental Assessment
(EA) for the amendment. Duke Energy proposes to construct a
counterweight stability berm on the downstream side of the earthen
embankment at the Mountain Island development and obtain the material
for the berm from an on-site borrow area. The project consists of 11
developments and is located on the Catawba and Wateree rivers in Burke,
McDowell, Caldwell, Catawba, Alexander, Iredell, Mecklenburg, Lincoln
and Gaston counties, North Carolina, and York, Lancaster, Chester,
Fairfield, and Kershaw counties, South Carolina.
The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential
environmental impacts of the proposed action and concludes that
amending the license, with appropriate environmental protective
measures, would not constitute a major Federal action that would
significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
The Commission provides all interested persons with an opportunity
to view and/or print the EA via the internet through the Commission's
Home Page (<a href="http://www.ferc.gov/">http://www.ferc.gov/</a>), using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter
