DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2503-192]
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
Carolina's LLC's (licensee) non-project use of project lands and water
application for the Keowee-Toxaway Hydroelectric Project No. 2503, and
has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA).\1\ The licensee requests
Commission approval to grant Pickens Regional Joint Water System a 0.37
acre easement to construct, operate, and maintain a raw water intake
facility with a gross maximum instantaneous water withdrawal rate of
16.5 million gallons per day (MGD) and a gross maximum average annual
withdrawal rate of 12 MGD. Proposed construction within the project
boundary includes screened intake pipes, shoreline stabilization, and a
floating dock. The Keowee-Toxaway Project is located on the Toxaway,
Keowee, and Little Rivers in Transylvania County, North Carolina, and
Oconee and Pickens counties, South Carolina, and is not located on
federal lands. The proposed water withdrawal facility easement would be
located on Lake Keowee northeast of the Oconee Nuclear Station and
southwest of Warpath Landing.

\1\ The unique identification number for documents relating to
this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1753198064.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential
environmental effects of the non-project use of project lands and
water, and concludes that with appropriate environmental protective
measures, the proposed action would not constitute a major federal
action that would significantly affect the quality of the human
environment.
