[Project No. 1894-238]
Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc.; Notice of Availability of
Environmental Assessment
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, Commission staff reviewed Dominion Energy
South Carolina, Inc.'s (licensee) application to amend the Turbine
Venting Plan (Plan) for the Parr Hydroelectric Project No. 1894 and
have prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project.\1\ The
licensee requests Commission approval to amend the project's Plan such
that the seasonal turbine venting window specified in the Plan,
currently June 15 through August 31, be modified to June 15 through
October 31, to increase dissolved oxygen levels downstream of Parr
Shoals Dam. The licensee also requests Commission approval to amend
Article 401(b), so that it is consistent with the turbine venting
window described above in the amended Plan. The project is located on
the Broad River in Newberry and Fairfield counties, South Carolina, and
occupies federal lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) within
the Sumter National Forest.
