    Good Morning,

    The Rural Utilities Service (RUS), an agency within the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), has issued a Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Supplemental Draft EIS) for Central Electric Power Cooperative’s (Central Electric) proposed McClellanville Area 115-kV Transmission Project (Project) in Berkeley, Charleston, and Georgetown Counties, South Carolina. In this document, RUS analyzes the environmental impacts associated with an anticipated decision request to approve or deny funding for Central Electric’s proposed Project. The Supplemental Draft EIS was prepared to address substantial changes to the proposed action and assesses new circumstances and information relevant to potential environmental impacts originally evaluated in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Draft EIS).

    In April 2014, RUS issued a Draft EIS that evaluated six 115-kV transmission line corridors originating in Georgetown County, South Carolina and terminating in the McClellanville area of Charleston County, South Carolina. Since publication of the Draft EIS, updated engineering data has resulted in substantial changes to the proposed action, including the need to evaluate new transmission line corridors originating from the Jamestown and Charity areas of Berkeley County, South Carolina, and to account for a new winter weather operating agreement between the former South Carolina Electric and Gas (now Dominion Energy South Carolina) and Berkeley Electric Cooperative that addresses load concerns during the winter months. In addition, the following changes made it necessary to supplement the Draft EIS: the promulgation of a new environmental regulation applicable to RUS (7 CFR Part 1970, which replaced the former 7 CFR Part 1794, RUS Environmental Policies and Procedures), issuance and implementation of Executive Order 13807: “Establishing Discipline and Accountability in the Environmental Review and Permitting Process for Infrastructure Projects” (known as the “One Federal Decision Executive Order”), and publication of the Francis Marion National Forest’s Forest Plan.

    A copy of the document can be downloaded from the agency’s website at: https://www.rd.usda.gov/publications...nsmission-line. The Supplemental Draft EIS addresses the construction, operation, and maintenance of Central Electric’s proposed Project. The Project includes the construction of a new 115 kV transmission line needed to energize the new McClellanville Substation located near the McClellanville service area. The Supplemental Draft EIS considers three alternatives, encompassing three potential corridor locations with one corridor including two different alignments. The overall project area encompasses parts of Berkeley, Georgetown and Charleston counties in coastal South Carolina, and potentially crosses the Francis Marion National Forest.

    The Supplemental Draft EIS has identified the potential for impacts to various resources, including wetlands, biological resources and cultural resources (including historic properties). Central Electric does not hold easements across these areas. Once a final right-of-way (ROW) is selected within the preferred corridor, coordination with federal and state agencies and other interested parties would occur to identify, evaluate and, if needed, mitigate any adverse effects. RUS will compile public comments received on the Supplemental Draft EIS and produce a Final EIS that considers and responds to those substantive public comments. Based on this analysis in additional to technical and financial reviews, RUS will decide to approve or deny an application for funding.

    DATES:

    The public comment period on the Supplemental Draft EIS starts with the publication of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s environmental impact statement (EIS) receipt notice in the Federal Register and will continue for 60 days. RUS anticipates that the USEPA’s notice will be published on August 23, 2019 and that comments will be due on October 22, 2019. Agencies, interested parties, and the public are invited to submit comments on the Supplemental Draft EIS at any time during the public comment period. Written comments may be submitted by email to Comments-mcclellanville@louisberger.com or by physical mail to:
    Ms. Lauren Rayburn
    USDA Rural Utilities Service
    160 Zillicoa Street, Suite 2
    Asheville, NC 28801

    Public hearings will be held for the proposed Project on the following dates and locations:

    Tuesday, September 17, 2019, from 5 – 8pm at the Santee St. James Elementary-Middle School, located at 8900 North Highway 17, McClellanville SC 29458

    Wednesday, September 18, 2019, from 3 – 6pm at the Jamestown Baptist Church Life Center located at 4339 North Highway 17A, Jamestown, SC 29453

    Oral comments will be accepted during the public hearings.

    For additional information on the proposed Project and the EIS process, please contact Ms. Lauren Rayburn via email at lauren.rayburn@usda.gov.

    Thank you

    They said I could be fined and/or jailed if I posted it. I asked for permission but Hogg went ahead and posted some of it anyway.

    My man. But after they put those boys in NY in prison yesterday for fighting back when Antifa thugs attacked them, I am not giving them any reason to put my ass in the joint...

    Here is how they couched it-

    Didn’t this come up years ago on this site and the members were asked to sign a petition against it? I’m assuming that’s the reason why I received the same email.

    Yeah which is weird because I think Rubberhead was leading that charge and I am not much of a petition signer...

    Could potentially directly affect me. I remember when it came up in 2014. On the site do they share proposed path/plans? Exactly, not general.
