DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 516, South Carolina]
South Carolina Electric & Gas Company; Notice of Availability of
Draft Environmental Assessment
June 28, 2002.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office
of Energy Projects has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA)
for the Saluda Dam Seismic Remediation Project. The Saluda Dam is a
part of the Saluda Project (FERC No. 516) and is located on the Saluda
River in Lexington, Richland, Newberry, and Saluda counties, South
Carolina.
The DEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential
environmental impacts of the dam remediation project and contains
measures to minimize those impacts. The DEA concludes that the project,
with recommended mitigation measures, would not constitute a major
federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human
environment.
A copy of the DEA is on file with the Commission and is available
for public inspection. The DEA may also be viewed on the Web at http://
www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS'' link--select ``Docket '' and
follow the instructions (call 202-208-2222 for assistance), or at
http://www.ferc.gov/hydro/docs/saludaea.pdf.
Any comments must be filed by July 15, 2002 and should be addressed
to Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. Please affix Project No.
P-516 to all comments. Comments may be filed electronically via the
Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the
instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing'' link.
For further information, contact John Mudre at (202) 219-1208 or
