Duke Energy Corporation; Notice of Availability of Draft
Environmental Assessment

June 19, 2000.
    A draft environmental assessment (DEA) is available for public
review. The DEA analyzes the environmental impacts of proposed
revisions to the shoreline classification maps for the Catawba-Wateree
Project Shoreline Management Plan (SMP). The licensee for the project
is Duke Energy Corporation (Duke). The maps address the allowable uses
of 1,635 miles of shoreline for the 11 project reservoirs located in
North and South Carolina. The maps are supported by results of Duke's
Shallow Water Fish Habitat Study (SWFHS). Also, addressed in this DEA
is the Shoreline Stabilization Technique Selection Process (SSTSP). The
proposed revisions to the shoreline classification maps are an integral
part of the SMP for the project.
    On the basis of this independent environmental assessment, approval
of the revised reclassification maps would not constitute a major
federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human
environment.
    The DEA was written by Commission staff in the Office of Energy
Projects, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the DEA can
be viewed on the web at www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm. Call (202)
208-2222 for assistance. Copies are also available for inspection and
reproduction at the

resource agencies are encouraged to provide comments. All comments must

original and eight copies of all comments marked with the project
