[Federal Register Volume 63, Number 77 (Wednesday, April 22, 1998)] [Notices] [Page 19912] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 98-10612] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Project No. 516-280] South Carolina Electric & Gas Company; Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment April 16, 1998. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47910), the Office of Hydropower Licensing (OHL) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for an application for approval of non-project use of project lands and change of land rights on Lake Murray. South Carolina Gas & Electric Company (licensee) proposes to sell to Larry Koon and James Cromer (developers) 20.5 acres of project lands for residential purposes. The licensee also proposes to allow use of the lake's 75-foot buffer strip to provide parking and vehicular access to an approved Willows End Marina. In the EA, staff concludes that approval of the licensee's proposal would not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The Saluda Project is located on the Saluda River in Richland, Lexington, Saluda and Newberry Counties, near Columbia, South Carolina. The EA was written by staff in the office of Hydropower Licensing, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the EA are available for review at the Commission's Reference and Information Center, Room 2-A, 888 North Capitol Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. Linwood A. Watson, Jr., Acting Secretary. [FR Doc. 98-10612 Filed 4-21-98; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-M
