k. Description of Application: Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (Duke),

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

locations on Lake Keowee (the ferry will not be moored at the site),
and implementation of a mitigation plan to address existing
