Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 516-513]
Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc.; Notice of Availability of
Final Environmental Assessment
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory
[[Page 6513]]
Commission's (Commission or FERC) regulations, 18 CFR part 380,
Commission staff reviewed Dominion Energy South Carolina's (licensee)
application for a Non-project Use of Project Lands and Waters of the
Saluda Hydroelectric Project No. 516 and have prepared an Environmental
Assessment (EA) for a proposed water withdraw. The licensee proposes to
allow the City of West Columbia, South Carolina (City), the use of
Saluda Hydroelectric project lands and waters to expand the use of the
City's existing raw water withdrawal facility. The City would replace
two pumps within their exiting raw water intake facility, excavate and
install a larger conveyance pipe, and increase its maximum withdrawal
from Lake Murry from an approved 48 million gallons per day (mgd) to 72
mgd, an increase of 24 mgd. The Saluda project is located on the Saluda
River in Richland, Lexington, Saluda, and Newberry counties, South
Carolina. The proposed action is located at the existing raw water pump
facility in Lexington County. The project does not occupy federal
lands.
The final EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential
environmental effects of the proposed water withdraw, alternatives to
the proposed action, and concludes that the proposed water withdraw,
with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not
constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality
of the human environment.
