[Project No. 199-203]

 
South Carolina Public Service Authority; Notice of Availability 
of Environmental Assessment

June 29, 2004.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission regulations, 18 CFR part 
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy Projects staff 
(staff) reviewed the request to use Santee-Cooper Project lands and 
waters in the development of a Lake Marion Regional Water System 
Project. The project is located on the Santee and Cooper Rivers (Lake 
Marion and Lake Moultrie) in Berkeley, Calhoun, Clarendon, Orangeburg, 
and Sumter Counties, South Carolina. Staff prepared an environmental 
assessment (EA) for the application and analyzed the effects of 
structures to be constructed on project lands, as well as the water 
withdrawal from Lake Marion. Staff concluded that the licensee's 
proposal would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the EA is available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, 
Washington, DC 20426 or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at 
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket 

number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to 
access the Commission order and attached EA, issued June 28, 2004 (107
