Marina layout expanded

Approval has been given to add a courtesy dock to a marina associated with the Keowee Key Property Owners Association.  An official of “FERC”—Federal Energy Regulatory Commission—announced a request by Duke Energy to change the layout of the marina to allow for a courtesy dock to be constructed at the existing boat launch.  The marina may accommodate 327 watercraft.  “FERC’s” Robert Fletcher said, “We do not expect the courtesy dock to adversely affect navigation, environmental resources, or any (Keowee-Toxaway Hydrolectric) project purposes.”  The order, issued October 12, states it is a final action, although any party may request a re-hearing of the order within 30 days.
