In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations (18 CFR part 380), Commission staff have prepared an environmental assessment (EA) that analyzes the environmental impacts of allowing Duke Power Company, licensee for the Catawba-Wateree Hydroelectric Project, to grant a lease of two parcels of land, totaling 1.918 acres, to Lake James Properties, LLC, for the purpose of constructing a residential/commercial marina. The marina will be located on Lake James, one of the project's 11 reservoirs, in McDowell County, North Carolina. The facility will accommodate a total of 110 boat slips, and will provide access to the reservoir for the residents of The Arbor on Lake James subdivision.
