TY - JOUR T1 - Spatial and temporal trends in contaminant concentrations in Hexagenia nymphs following a coal ash spill at the Tennessee Valley Authority's Kingston Fossil Plant. AN - 1782830783; 26387560 AB - A dike failure at the Tennessee Valley Authority Kingston Fossil Plant in East Tennessee, United States, in December 2008, released approximately 4.1 million m(3) of coal ash into the Emory River. From 2009 through 2012, samples of mayfly nymphs (Hexagenia bilineata) were collected each spring from sites in the Emory, Clinch, and Tennessee Rivers upstream and downstream of the spill. Samples were analyzed for 17 metals. Concentrations of metals were generally highest the first 2 miles downstream of the spill, and then decreased with increasing distance from the spill. Arsenic, B, Ba, Be, Mo, Sb, Se, Sr, and V appeared to have strong ash signatures, whereas Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, and Pb appeared to be associated with ash and other sources. However, the concentrations for most of these contaminants were modest and are unlikely to cause widespread negative ecological effects. Trends in Hg, Cd, and Zn suggested little (Hg) or no (Cd, Zn) association with ash. Temporal trends suggested that concentrations of ash-related contaminants began to subside after 2010, but because of the limited time period of that analysis (4 yr), further monitoring is needed to verify this trend. The present study provides important information on the magnitude of contaminant exposure to aquatic receptors from a major coal ash spill, as well as spatial and temporal trends for transport of the associated contaminants in a large open watershed.

AN - 1738482854; 26613987 AB - Investigating the ecological impacts of contaminants released into the environment requires integration of multiple lines of evidence. Collection and analysis of interstitial water is an often-used line of evidence for developing benthic exposure estimates in aquatic ecosystems. It is a well-established principle that chemical and toxicity data on interstitial water samples should represent in-situ conditions; i.e., sample integrity must be maintained throughout the sample collection process to avoid alteration of the in-situ geochemical conditions. Unfortunately, collection and processing of pore water is not standardized to address possible geochemical transformations introduced by atmospheric exposure. Furthermore, there are no suitable benchmarks (ecological or human health) against which to evaluate adverse effects from chemicals in pore water; i.e., empirical data is lacking on the toxicity of inorganic contaminants in sediment interstitial water. It is clear that pore water data is best evaluated by considering the bioavailability of trace elements and the partitioning of contaminants between the aqueous and solid phases. It is also evident that there is a need for sediment researchers and regulatory agencies to collaborate in developing a standardized approach for sediment/pore water collection and data evaluation. Without such guidelines, the number of different pore water collection and extraction techniques will continue to expand, and investigators will continue to evaluate potentially questionable data by comparison to inappropriate criteria.

AN - 16375388; 16572 AB - PURPOSE: The Tennessee Valley Authority's 2015 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) will guide TVA in making decisions about the energy resources used to meet future demand for electricity through 2033. More like a compass than a GPS, it provides broad direction but not street-by-street instructions. The recommendation in this IRP provides strategic guidance on the resource mix to successfully respond to changing market conditions. The resource mix will be: low cost, reliable, risk-informed, diverse, environmentally responsible and flexible. This study reinforces the importance that TVA's power be reliable, affordable and sustainable into the future. Our resource additions will build on TVA's existing diverse asset portfolio. Our results show no immediate needs for new base load plants after Watts Bar Unit 2 comes online and uprates are completed at Browns Ferry nuclear plant. Instead, we can rely on additional natural gas generation (combined cycle and combustion turbine), greater levels of cost-effective energy efficiency, and increased contributions from competitively priced renewable power. We also expect to have less coal-based generation in our energy mix than we do today, although it will continue to play an important role in the portfolio.

AN - 16386185; 16551 AB - PURPOSE: The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is reviewing its policy on floating houses and nonnavigable houseboats that are designed and used primarily for human habitation. TVAs review is in response to the increased mooring of floating houses (FHs) on its reservoirs, which has implications for navigation, public health and safety, the environment, and public recreation. TVA is considering five alternative policies and has prepared this Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to assess the potential impacts of implementing each alternative. The alternative policies vary greatly, from allowing additional FHs (Alternative A) to requiring that all FHs be removed from TVA reservoirs (Alternative C). One alternative (Alternative B1) would allow existing, currently unpermitted FHs to remain if new minimum standards are met. Another alternative (Alternative B2) would allow the same, but FHs and nonnavigable houseboats would be removed after a 30-year period. These four alternatives would require TVA to amend its regulations under Section 26a of the TVA Act. Under one alternative (Alternative D), TVA would enforce current regulations to address FHs. Under each of the action alternatives, TVA would increase enforcement of existing standards and/or establish new standards and requirements to address environmental and safety concerns. TVA also analyzed impacts associated with current management as the No Action Alternative. For most resources, the impacts would be greatest for the No Action Alternative because the increase in the numbers of FHs under this scenario would be greatest.

AN - 16378884; 16437 AB - PURPOSE: The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) proposes to update its 2011 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) to determine how it will meet the electrical needs of its customers over the next 20 years, and fulfill its mission of low-cost, reliable power, environmental stewardship and economic development. Planning process steps included: determining the future need for power; identifying potential supply-side options for generating power and demand-side options for reducing the need for power; developing a range of planning strategies encompassing different approaches, targets and emphasized resources; and identifying a range of future conditions (scenarios) used in evaluating the strategies. Capacity expansion plans (portfolios) were then developed for each combination of strategies and scenarios, and these are evaluated for financial, risk, environmental, system flexibility and economic criteria. The five planning strategies, A-Reference Plan, B-Meet an Emission Target, C- Focus on Long-Term, Market Supplied Resources, D-Maximize Energy Efficiency and E-Maximize Renewables, are the action alternatives evaluated in the EIS, along with a No Action Baseline Case alternative. Under all alternative strategies, a minimal amount of new baseload generation is added, coal-fired generation decreases and reliance on renewable and demand-side resources increases. Emissions of air pollutants, the intensity of greenhouse gas emissions and generation of coal waste decrease under all strategies. For most environmental resources, the impacts are greatest for the No Action alternative except for the land area required for new generating facilities, which is greater for the action alternatives, particularly Strategy E.

Natural impacts were statistically removed from downwind measurements to estimate emission factor E sub(v) for bulldozers working on the pile. The E sub(v) determined here was similar in magnitude to emission factors (EFs) computed using a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) formulation for unpaved surfaces at industrial sites, even though the latter was not based on data for coal piles. EF formulations from this study and those in the EPA guidance yield values of similar magnitude but differ in the variables used to compute E sub(v) variations. EPA studies included effects of surface silt fraction and vehicle weight, while the present study captured the influence of coal moisture. Our data indicate that the relationship between PRB coal fugitive dust E sub(v) (expressed as mass of PM sub(10) emitted per minute of bulldozer operation) and coal moisture content M sub(c) (in percent) at the study site is best expressed as E sub(v) =10 super(f)(M sub(c)) where f(M sub(c)) is a function of moisture. This function was determined by statistical regression between log sub(10)(E sub(v)) and M sub(c) where both E sub(v) and M sub(c) are expressed as daily averages of observations based on 289 hours sampled during 44 days from late June through mid-November of 2012. A methodology is described that estimates M sub(c) based on available meteorological data (precipitation amount and solar radiation flux). An example is given of computed variations in daily E sub(v) for an entire year. This illustrates the sensitivity of the daily average particulate EF to meteorological variability at one location. Finally, a method is suggested for combining the moisture-sensitive formulation for E sub(v) with the EPA formulation to accommodate a larger number of independent variables that influence fugitive emissions. Implications:Fugitive coal dust emission factors (EFs) derived by this study contribute to the small existing knowledge base for a type of pollutant that will become increasingly important as ambient particulate standards become tighter. In areas that are not in attainment with standards, realistic EFs can be used for compliance modeling and can help identify which classes of sources are best targeted to achieve desired air quality levels. Reconciling emission factor formulations that are sensitive to different factors (i.e., those from the EPA and this study) produces a more powerful tool for estimating fugitive emissions at a broad range of sources.

Tectonically and seismically induced ground deformations, evidence of liquefaction, rock slides, river bank slumps, ground subsidence, performance of earthen dams, damage to public infrastructure and lifelines, and other effects of the earthquake were documented. This moderate earthquake provided the rare opportunity to collect data to help assess current geoengineering practices in the region, as well as to assess seismic performance of the aging infrastructure in the region. Ground failures included two marginal liquefaction sites, a river bank slump, four minor rockfalls, and a approximately 4-m-wide, approximately 12-m-long, approximately 0.3-m-deep subsidence on a residential property. Damage to lifelines included subsidence of the approaches for a bridge and a water main break to a heavily corroded, 5-cm-diameter valve in Mineral, Virginia. Observed damage to dams, landfills, and public-use properties included a small, shallow slide in the temporary ("working") clay cap of the county landfill, damage to two earthen dams (one in the epicentral region and one further away near Bedford, Virginia), and substantial structural damage to two public school buildings.

AN - 1641203462; 25346032 AB - The Tennessee Valley Authority conducted a Baseline Ecological Risk Assessment (BERA) for the Kingston Fossil Plant ash release site to evaluate potential effects of residual coal ash on biota in Watts Bar Reservoir, Tennessee. The BERA was in response to a release of 4.1 million m(3) of coal ash on December 22, 2008. It used multiple lines of evidence to assess risks for 17 different ecological receptors to approximately 400000 m(3) of residual ash in the Emory and Clinch rivers. Here, we provide a brief overview of the BERA results and then focus on how the results were used to help shape risk management decisions. Those decisions included selecting monitored natural recovery for remediation of the residual ash in the Emory and Clinch rivers and designing a long-term monitoring plan that includes adaptive management principles for timely adjustment to changing conditions. This study demonstrates the importance of site-specific ecological data (e.g., tissue concentrations for food items, reproductive data, and population data) in complex ecological risk assessments. It also illustrates the value of the US Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) data quality objectives process in building consensus and identifying multiple uses of results. The relatively limited adverse effects of this likely worst-case scenario for ash-related exposures in a lotic environment provide important context for the USEPA's new coal combustion residue disposal rules.

A laboratory toxicity case study. AN - 1641202124; 25348557 AB - Under a consent agreement among the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and proponents both for and against stricter regulation, EPA is to issue a new coal ash disposal rule by the end of 2014. Laboratory toxicity investigations often yield conservative estimates of toxicity because many standard test species are more sensitive than resident species, thus could provide information useful to the rule-making. However, few laboratory studies of coal ash toxicity are available; most studies reported in the literature are based solely on field investigations. This brief communication describes a broad range of toxicity studies conducted for the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Kingston ash spill, results of which help provide additional perspective on the toxicity of coal ash.

AN - 1662628483; 16217 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating license for the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 in Hamilton County, Tennessee is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 53rd supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS identified 92 issues and reached conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants. Neither the applicant, Tennessee Valley Authority, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 generic issues. Plant-specific review for the remaining 23 issues with regard to operations and refurbishment activities are addressed in this supplement. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would decide whether to continue plant operations based on factors such as the need for power. Without renewal, the license for both units 1 and 2 would expire on September 17, 2020 and September 15, 2021, respectively. The Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN) is a two-unit, nuclear-powered steam-electric generating facility that began commercial operation in July 1981 (Unit 1) and June 1982 (Unit 2). The nuclear reactor for each unit is a Westinghouse pressurized-water reactor (PWR), producing a reactor core rated thermal power of 3,455 megawatts thermal. Under the Proposed Action, refurbishment activities such as replacement and repair of major systems, structures, and components would be carried out. SQN Units 1 and 2 are PWRs. All original SQN steam generators have been replaced. The last steam generator replacement took place in 2012. The SQN site is approximately 18 miles (mi) (29 kilometers (km)) northeast of Chattanooga, Tennessee, and approximately 31 mi (50 km) south-southwest of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN) site. The SQN site is approximately 630 acres (ac) (250 hectares (ha)). The power production portion of SQN is located on 525 ac (212 ha). SQNs training center is located on the remaining 105 ac (42.5 ha). The SQN site is located on a peninsula on the western shore of Chickamauga Reservoir at Tennessee River Mile (TRM) 484.5. The town of Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee, is located 6 mi (10 km) west of site. Figure 31 and Figure 32 present 50-mi (80-km) and 6-mi (10-km) vicinity maps, respectively. The SQN sites main structures include two reactor buildings, a turbine building, an auxiliary building, a control building, a service and office building, a diesel generator building, an intake pumping station, an essential raw cooling water (ERCW) pumping station, two natural draft cooling towers, 161-kilovolt (kV) and 500-kV switchyards, a condensing water discharge and diffuser system, and an independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI). The sites tallest structures are the two 459-ft cooling towers. In addition to the proposed license renewal, alternative methods of power generation and a No Action alternative are considered in this draft supplemental EIS. Replacement power options considered include new natural gas-fired combined-cycle generation, supercritical pulverized coal generation, new nuclear generation, and a combination of wind and solar generation. The preliminary recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for CGS are not great enough to deny the option of license renewal. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the Tennessee Valley Authority to meet the needs of its public utilities members from across the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Consumptive surface water use from continued SQN operations will continue to be a very small percentage of the overall flow of the Tennessee River through Chickamauga Reservoir. Potential impacts to surface water resources include prolonged drought and temperature increases. Long-term warming could potentially affect navigation, power production, and municipal and industrial users, although the magnitude of the impact is uncertain. Construction of new transmission lines, power plants, or residential areas over the proposed license renewal term have the potential to affect terrestrial resources.

The earthquake struck at approximately 4:30 a.m. LT on 8 January 1817 and was widely felt throughout the southeastern and mid-Atlantic United States. Around 11:00 a.m. the same day, an eyewitness described a 12-inch tide that rose abruptly and agitated boats on the Delaware River near Philadelphia. We show that the timing of this tide is consistent with the predicted travel time for a tsunami generated by an offshore earthquake 6-7 hours earlier. By combining constraints provided by the shaking intensity distribution and the tsunami observation, we conclude that the 1817 earthquake had a magnitude of low- to mid-M 7 and a location 800-1000 km offshore of South Carolina. Our results suggest that poorly understood offshore source zones might represent a previously unrecognized hazard to the southern and mid-Atlantic coast. Both observational and modeling results indicate that potential tsunami hazard within Delaware Bay merits consideration: the simple geometry of the bay appears to catch and focus tsunami waves. Our preferred location for the 1817 earthquake is along a diffuse northeast-trending zone defined by instrumentally recorded and historical earthquakes. The seismotectonic framework for this region remains enigmatic.

AN - 16391590; 15770 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a 40-year operating license to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) for a second light-water nuclear reactor at the Watts Bar Nuclear (WBN) Plant on the Tennessee River in Rhea County, Tennessee is proposed. In 1978, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a final EIS related to the operating license for WBN Units 1 and 2. After construction delays, a license was issued for WBN Unit 1 in early 1996 and the reactor is currently operating. On March 4, 2009, the NRC received an update to the application from the TVA for a facility operating license to possess, use, and operate WBN Unit 2. The plant site occupies 1,055 acres within the 1,700-acre Watts Bar Reservation on the west bank of the Chickamauga Reservoir. Chattanooga is 60 miles to the southwest and Knoxville is 60 miles to the northeast. The WBN site consists of two reactor containment buildings, a diesel generator building, a training facility, a turbine building, a service building, an intake pumping station, a water-treatment plant, two cooling towers, 500-kilovolt (kV) and 161-kV switchyards, and associated parking facilities. WBN Unit 2 would use structures that already exist and most of the work required to complete Unit 2 would be inside of those buildings. The unit would employ a four-loop pressurized water reactor nuclear steam supply system using the Westinghouse Electric Corporation design. Reactor generated heat would be used to produce steam to drive turbines, providing 1,160 megawatts of electricity. WBN Unit 1 uses a closed-cycle system with natural-draft wet-cooling towers and a supplemental cooling system. WBN Unit 2 would use the same system which takes Tennessee River water from the Chickamauga Reservoir. WBN Units 1 and 2 would also share radioactive waste management systems. In addition to the proposed action, this final supplement considers a No Action Alternative and alternative energy sources. The NRC staffs recommendation is that the operating license for WBN Unit 2 be issued as proposed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would supply additional needed electrical power to the Tennessee Valley. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Completing WBN Unit 2 would result in some additional ground-disturbing activities, but these would be largely restricted to the existing disturbed portion of the property. Overall impacts on aquatic biota from impingement and entrainment at the cooling water systems intakes and from thermal, physical, and chemical discharges are expected to be small. Studies indicate that impingement has affected only small numbers of fish, with the exception of threadfin shad.

Preparation date: June 14, 2013 N1 - Last updated - 2013-10-04 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DAM SAFETY MODIFICATIONS AT CHEROKEE, FORT LOUDOUN, TELLICO, AND WATTS BAR DAMS, GRAINGER, JEFFERSON, LOUDOUN, RHEA, AND MEIGS COUNTIES, TENNESSEE. AN - 1433507818; 15748 AB - PURPOSE: Permanent dam safety modifications at Cherokee, Fort Loudoun, Tellico, and Watts Bar dams in Tennessee are proposed. Cherokee Dam is on the Holston River at mile 52.3 in Grainger and Jefferson counties. Fort Loudoun Dam is located in Loudon County at Tennessee River mile 602.3. Tellico Dam is located in Loudon County at Little Tennessee River mile 0.35, just upstream from the confluence of the Little Tennessee and Tennessee Rivers. Its operation is closely integrated with the operation of Fort Loudoun Dam and a canal links the two reservoirs. Watts Bar Dam is located at Tennessee River mile 529.0 in Rhea and Meigs counties. The Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) most recent probable maximum flood (PMF) calculations indicate that a worst-case winter storm could cause water to go over the top of some of the dams even with the floodgates wide open, possibly causing dam failure. Failure of one or more of these dams would result in loss of stored water for navigation, impacts to fish and wildlife resources, loss of recreational opportunities, and possible property damage, personal injury, and loss of life. In 2009, TVA implemented precautionary measures and installed stonefilled barriers at all four dams and strengthened the downstream embankment of Watts Bar Dam in order to minimize the potential effects of the PMF event. In 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission outlined the need for replacement of the temporary barriers in order to protect Watts Bar, Sequoyah, and Browns Ferry nuclear plants. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are analyzed in this final EIS. Under Alternative B, which is the preferred alternative, TVA would remove the barriers and install a combination of concrete floodwalls, raised earthen embankments or earthen berms, and gap closure barriers (gate-like barriers used to close gaps between the floodwalls) at each of the four dams. Under Alternative C, TVA would remove the barriers and install four dam structures. The potential modifications would consist entirely of concrete floodwalls and gap closure barriers (no embankments or berms). Under both Alternatives B and C, the concrete floodwalls and/or earthen embankments would vary in height from 2.3 feet to 6.6 feet depending on the location. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed modifications would minimize the potential for the failure from overtopping of Cherokee, Fort Loudoun, Tellico, and Watts Bar dams during the PMF and prevent an increase in flooding during the PMF at downstream locations including Watts Bar, Sequoyah, and Browns Ferry Nuclear Plants. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction would result in short-term, minor impacts to soils, air quality, water resources, vegetation and wildlife, recreation, and public safety. The proposed action could result in short-term noise and transportation impacts and would have impacts to visual resources at specific dam segments.

Seismic reflection profiles and sediment cores were collected in 2009 and 2011 from the Emory and Clinch Rivers to assess the long term fluvial transport. The spill filled the adjacent Emory River channel and the slurry extended 3.2 km upstream. Most of this ash has been removed by dredging but 229,000 m (super 3) remain in the Lower Emory and Clinch Rivers. During the first year following the spill, thick ash beds were mapped in the Emory River channel within 1.5 km of the release. At the distal end of the spill, stratified, graded ash beds from the initial failure were recorded in cores. These ash deposits thinned downstream to an ash/sediment mixture and discontinuous ash lenses were recorded in the lower Emory River during the 2009 fieldwork. Adjacent to the channel, on submerged terraces, ash beds are buried below mats of organic detritus. Seismic profiles collected in 2011 show thick ash deposits in the river channel downstream of the dredged area. However, vibra-cores record beds of alluvial sand and gravel capping these deposits. The Emory River has a hummocky, scoured riverbed 1.6 km downstream of the spill. This is an area of sediment transport with thin (30 cm) ash beds interbedded with organic mats and alluvium. A depositional sedimentary environment occurs at the mouth of the Emory River as indicated by the smooth riverbed and thick (1.3 m) ash beds recovered in the 2011 cores. These ash deposits are represented on seismic profiles by a transparent channel fill facies. The high discharge of the Clinch River has mixed the ash deposits with native sediment and buried isolated ash lenses. Ash in the channel near the spill area is now buried beneath beds of sand and gravel that will restrict resuspension to high flow velocities. Cohesive organic mats deposited on submerged terraces during periods of slack water will limit erosion of the broad but thin ash beds in this sedimentary environment. Along channel slopes, ash is exposed and susceptible to erosion and transport. Ash from the spill has been transported through the Emory River and is temporarily deposited just above its confluence with the Clinch River. This ash will eventually reach the Tennessee River and its ultimate depocenter, the Watts Bar Reservoir.

AN - 1220562902; 15441 AB - PURPOSE: The modification of the Department of Energy (DOE) program for disposition of surplus, weapons-usable plutonium is proposed. The U.S. inventory of surplus plutonium is in several forms and the largest quantity is plutonium metal in the shape of pits. A pit is the central core of a primary assembly in a nuclear weapon and is typically composed of plutonium-239 metal, enriched uranium, or both, as well as other materials. The remaining inventory is non-pit plutonium, which includes plutonium oxides and metal in a variety of forms and purities. This draft supplemental EIS considers alternatives for disposition of 14.4 tons of surplus plutonium for which DOE has not made a disposition decision, including 7.8 tons of plutonium from pits that were declared excess to national defense needs after 2007, and 6.6 tons of surplus non-pit plutonium. A No Action Alternative and four alternative disposition pathways are analyzed: 1) disposition of both the non-pit and pit plutonium using the can-in-canister vitrification approach, involving small cans of material, which would be placed in a rack inside a Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) canister and surrounded with vitrified high-level radioactive waste at the Savannah River Site (SRS) in South Carolina; 2) disposition of non-pit plutonium via H-Canyon and DWPF at SRS; 3) disposal of non-pit plutonium at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in New Mexico; 4) and fabrication of pit and some non-pit plutonium into mixed oxide (MOX) fuel for use in domestic commercial nuclear power reactors. Options for providing a pit disassembly and conversion capability include a stand-alone facility in the F-Area at SRS or installing capability in existing facilities at one or more of the following locations: the Plutonium Facility (PF-4) in Technical Area 55 (TA-55) at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), H Canyon/HB-Line at SRS, K-Area at SRS, and the Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility (MFFF) at SRS. The analyses also encompass potential use of MOX fuel in reactors at the Sequoyah and Browns Ferry Nuclear Plants of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). The MOX Fuel Alternative is DOEs preferred alternative for surplus plutonium disposition. DOEs preferred option for pit disassembly and the conversion of surplus plutonium metal to supply feed for the MFFF, is to use some combination of facilities at PF-4 at LANL, K-Area at SRS, H-Canyon/HB-Line at SRS and MFFF at SRS, rather than to construct a new stand-alone facility. This would likely require the installation of additional equipment and other modifications to some of these facilities. DOEs preferred alternative for disposition of surplus plutonium that is not suitable for MOX fuel fabrication is disposal at WIPP in New Mexico. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Disposition of the surplus plutonium would reduce the threat of nuclear weapons proliferation worldwide by converting weapons-grade plutonium into proliferation-resistant forms. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Radiation doses to workers from routine operation of disposition facilities would result in up to minimal latent cancer fatalities. Worker doses would be monitored and controlled to ensure that individual doses are less than 2,000 millirem per year and as low as reasonably achievable to limit the potential health effects of these worker doses. Transportation accidents could result in exposure of the public at-large to radiation. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Energy Organization Act of 1977 (P.L. 95-91).

[Part 2 of 2] T2 - SR 126 (MEMORIAL BOULEVARD) CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, FROM EAST CENTER STREET TO INTERSTATE 81, SULLIVAN COUNTY, KINGSPORT, TENNESSEE. AN - 1020046483; 15234-6_0002 AB - PURPOSE: Improvements to an 8.4-mile-long section of State Route 126 (SR 126) from East Center Street, within the City of Kingsport, to Interstate 81 (I-81) in Sullivan County, Tennessee are proposed. SR 126, also known as Memorial Boulevard, is primarily a two-travel lane facility throughout the study corridor. Each travel lane is eleven feet wide and the existing right-of-way (ROW) varies from sixty feet to three hundred feet wide. The speed limit varies from thirty-five to fifty miles per hour. The route is characterized by sharp curves and steep grades, and roadside hazards are located in close proximity to the travel lanes. Narrow shoulders are present along the majority of the route and sidewalks are present along 0.1 mile of the 8.4 mile long corridor. This draft EIS considers two build alternatives and a No Build Alternative. The build alternatives would improve SR 126 to a four-lane facility within the commercial and residential areas of the western half of the study corridor. The eastern half of the study corridor, which is rural in nature, would remain a two-travel lane facility. Improved shoulders would be provided along the entire corridor and sidewalks would be extended to the majority of the commercial and residential areas. The Alternative A alignment would generally follow the existing alignment with shifts from side to side to minimize impacts, reduce earthwork volumes, simplify construction, and improve the curvature of the roadway. Several side road intersection approaches to SR 126 would be realigned to as close to 90 degrees as possible. Additionally, several minor intersections would be rerouted to connect via improved intersections on neighboring roads. Alternative B would utilize the same proposed typical roadway cross sections as Alternative A, but the length of the four-travel lane section would be reduced by approximately 0.5 mile. Retaining walls would be utilized in the vicinity of historic Yanceys Tavern and East Lawn Memorial Gardens Cemetery to minimize impacts. Total project costs of Alternative A and Alternative B are estimated at $120.3 million and $99.6 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction would provide a safe, efficient route for local traffic between the City of Kingsport and I-81. Improvements along the western half of the project would provide improved access to adjacent businesses and homes and improved pedestrian and bicycle connectivity. Wider shoulders and additional sidewalks will promote bicycle and pedestrian usage of the facility. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: New ROW requirements would impact five to 15 acres of farmland, 55 to 75 acres of forest, and 3,107 to 4,863 linear feet of streams. Alternative A would result in an estimated 241 residential relocations, 43 business displacements, and one non-profit displacement. Alternative B would result in 162 residential relocations, 30 business displacements, and one non-profit displacement. This large number of relocations would be difficult to adequately address and substantial last resort housing payments could be expected.

[Part 1 of 2] T2 - SR 126 (MEMORIAL BOULEVARD) CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, FROM EAST CENTER STREET TO INTERSTATE 81, SULLIVAN COUNTY, KINGSPORT, TENNESSEE. AN - 1020046479; 15234-6_0001 AB - PURPOSE: Improvements to an 8.4-mile-long section of State Route 126 (SR 126) from East Center Street, within the City of Kingsport, to Interstate 81 (I-81) in Sullivan County, Tennessee are proposed. SR 126, also known as Memorial Boulevard, is primarily a two-travel lane facility throughout the study corridor. Each travel lane is eleven feet wide and the existing right-of-way (ROW) varies from sixty feet to three hundred feet wide. The speed limit varies from thirty-five to fifty miles per hour. The route is characterized by sharp curves and steep grades, and roadside hazards are located in close proximity to the travel lanes. Narrow shoulders are present along the majority of the route and sidewalks are present along 0.1 mile of the 8.4 mile long corridor. This draft EIS considers two build alternatives and a No Build Alternative. The build alternatives would improve SR 126 to a four-lane facility within the commercial and residential areas of the western half of the study corridor. The eastern half of the study corridor, which is rural in nature, would remain a two-travel lane facility. Improved shoulders would be provided along the entire corridor and sidewalks would be extended to the majority of the commercial and residential areas. The Alternative A alignment would generally follow the existing alignment with shifts from side to side to minimize impacts, reduce earthwork volumes, simplify construction, and improve the curvature of the roadway. Several side road intersection approaches to SR 126 would be realigned to as close to 90 degrees as possible. Additionally, several minor intersections would be rerouted to connect via improved intersections on neighboring roads. Alternative B would utilize the same proposed typical roadway cross sections as Alternative A, but the length of the four-travel lane section would be reduced by approximately 0.5 mile. Retaining walls would be utilized in the vicinity of historic Yanceys Tavern and East Lawn Memorial Gardens Cemetery to minimize impacts. Total project costs of Alternative A and Alternative B are estimated at $120.3 million and $99.6 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction would provide a safe, efficient route for local traffic between the City of Kingsport and I-81. Improvements along the western half of the project would provide improved access to adjacent businesses and homes and improved pedestrian and bicycle connectivity. Wider shoulders and additional sidewalks will promote bicycle and pedestrian usage of the facility. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: New ROW requirements would impact five to 15 acres of farmland, 55 to 75 acres of forest, and 3,107 to 4,863 linear feet of streams. Alternative A would result in an estimated 241 residential relocations, 43 business displacements, and one non-profit displacement. Alternative B would result in 162 residential relocations, 30 business displacements, and one non-profit displacement. This large number of relocations would be difficult to adequately address and substantial last resort housing payments could be expected. Adverse economic impacts would occur if businesses close or move out of the project area. Ninety to 350 graves would be displaced and two historic properties would be impacted.

Preparation date: February 17, 2012 N1 - Last updated - 2012-04-26 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Examination of mercury inputs by throughfall and litterfall in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park AN - 1777139783; 16165818 AB - Throughfall and litterfall represent two major pathways which comprise the bulk of the mercury that reaches the forest floor. In an effort to quantify total mercury deposition to forests, throughfall and litterfall samples were collected at three elevations in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP) between April and November in 2008 and 2009. The mean (+/-standard error) volume-weighted throughfall total mercury concentration across all three sites ranged from 13.62 ng L-1 (+/-0.86) to 18.23 ng L-1 (+/-0.77) with a slight trend of higher throughfall mercury concentration at the high elevation spruce-fir sites relative to the low elevation mixed-hardwood site. The mean (+/-standard error) throughfall total mercury deposition across all sites ranged from 2.07 mu g m-2 (+/-0.09) to 4.09 mu g m-2 (+/-0.38). Mean (+/-standard error) mass-weighted litterfall concentration ranged from 37.2 ng g-1 (+/-1.36) to 62.87 ng g-1 (+/-1.94) and statistically higher (p = 0.02, p < 0.05) mean concentrations were observed at the higher elevation sites. The mean (+/-standard error) litterfall mercury deposition across all three sites ranged from 10.34 mu g m-2 (+/-0.69) to 29.30 mu g m-2 (+/-0.44). Although, no statistically (p = 0.05, p < 0.05) significant difference was observed between the sites for either throughfall or litterfall deposition, both increased from 2008 to 2009 at the lower elevation site. Mean litterfall deposition (17.93 mu g m-2) dominated Hg input for the two years studied over mean throughfall deposition (3.20 mu g m-2). Meanwhile, the mean throughfall concentration (17.8 ng L-1) dominated the mean open area precipitation input (6.03 ng L-1) at the high elevation site, suggesting evidence for a dry deposition component from the forest canopy. While the study was limited in scope, the results do provide some basic data that adds to understanding Hg inputs to the terrestrial ecosystem in general and in the GSMNP specifically.

AN - 918915838; 15145-8_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal and redevelopment of a 1,400-acre portion of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Muscle Shoals Reservation (MSR) in Colbert County, Alabama are proposed. The TVA operated a fertilizer research and development facility at the 2,600-acre MSR and then converted its facilities to the manufacture of munitions and synthetic rubber during World War II and the Korean Conflict. In 1952, TVA began operation of a chlorine plant and the Phosphate Development Works (PDW), which produced methyl phosphonous dichloride and methyl phosphonic dichloride. Large areas of the MSR study area have been highly affected by past land use and facilities operations, but relatively small areas remain contaminated. The study area is contained entirely within and managed in accordance with a 2,260-acre Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) permit issued by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management. Within the RCRA permit area, approximately 64 acres of land are included in monitored solid waste management units (SWMUs) that will be retained by TVA to meet its current and future obligations. An additional 17 acres in scattered small areas near these SWMUs were part of a RCRA facilities investigation and were subsequently cleaned up to industrial screening levels in the late 1990s. Areas of concern include a former landfill site containing wastes from the PDW, phosphorous entombment areas, a phosphate slag storage area, and a low-level radioactive waste burial site. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are evaluated in this final EIS. Under the five action alternatives, the land would be sold and used for conservation and low-impact development (Alternative B); commercial, retail, and residential use (Alternative C); industrial use (Alternative D); a mix of these uses (Alternative E); or unrestricted use (Alternative F). Due to the legacy contamination currently impacting groundwater, no groundwater development for potable use purposes would be allowed under any proposed alternative. Alternative F is the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The transfer would help reduce TVA's operations and maintenance costs, enhance local economic development opportunity, and help TVA reduce its environmental footprint. The preferred alternative would create the greatest opportunity for economic benefit to the area and the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development would have minor impacts on soils, farmland, wetlands and floodplains. Solid and hazardous waste sites could have minor impacts, but potential for exposure to any remaining contaminants would be low. Development of portions of the property could cause significant effects to birds and the American Chestnut Foundation research orchard. Minor to moderate loss of recreational opportunities would occur. Historic architectural resources would be adversely affected, but adaptive reuse of buildings and structures would be encouraged. Non-conservation development alternatives would adversely affect three archaeological sites and two cemeteries.

POSITIVE IMPACTS: The transfer would help reduce TVA's operations and maintenance costs, enhance local economic development opportunity, and help TVA reduce its environmental footprint. The preferred alternative would create the greatest opportunity for economic benefit to the area and the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development would have minor impacts on soils, farmland, wetlands and floodplains. Solid and hazardous waste sites could have minor impacts, but potential for exposure to any remaining contaminants would be low. Development of portions of the property could cause significant effects to birds and the American Chestnut Foundation research orchard. Minor to moderate loss of recreational opportunities would occur. Historic architectural resources would be adversely affected, but adaptive reuse of buildings and structures would be encouraged. Non-conservation development alternatives would adversely affect three archaeological sites and two cemeteries.

AN - 917565138; 15137-0_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a 40-year operating license to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) for a second light-water nuclear reactor at the Watts Bar Nuclear (WBN) Plant on the Tennessee River in Rhea County, Tennessee is proposed. In 1978, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a final EIS related to the operating license for WBN Units 1 and 2. After construction delays, a license was issued for WBN Unit 1 in early 1996 and the reactor is currently operating. On March 4, 2009, the NRC received an update to the application from the TVA for a facility operating license to possess, use, and operate WBN Unit 2. The plant site occupies 1,055 acres within the 1,700-acre Watts Bar Reservation on the west bank of the Chickamauga Reservoir. Chattanooga is 60 miles to the southwest and Knoxville is 60 miles to the northeast. The WBN site consists of two reactor containment buildings, a diesel generator building, a training facility, a turbine building, a service building, an intake pumping station, a water-treatment plant, two cooling towers, 500-kilovolt (kV) and 161-kV switchyards, and associated parking facilities. WBN Unit 2 would use structures that already exist and most of the work required to complete Unit 2 would be inside of those buildings. The unit would employ a four-loop pressurized water reactor nuclear steam supply system using the Westinghouse Electric Corporation design. Reactor generated heat would be used to produce steam to drive turbines, providing 1,160 megawatts of electricity. WBN Unit 1 uses a closed-cycle system with natural-draft wet-cooling towers and a supplemental cooling system. WBN Unit 2 would use the same system which takes Tennessee River water from the Chickamauga Reservoir. WBN Units 1 and 2 would also share radioactive waste management systems. In addition to the proposed action, this draft supplement considers a No Action Alternative and alternative energy sources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would supply additional needed electrical power to the Tennessee Valley. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Completing Unit 2 would result in some additional ground-disturbing activities, but these would be largely restricted to the existing disturbed portion of the property. Overall impacts on aquatic biota from impingement and entrainment at the cooling water systems intakes and from thermal, physical, and chemical discharges are expected to be small. Studies indicate that impingement has affected only small numbers of fish, with the exception of threadfin shad.

More than 5 million cubic yards of material spilled, completely filling an embayment and overflowing into the Emory River, completely blocking a 30-ft deep channel. This presentation provides an overview of the response to this spill and the authorities under which clean-up is occurring. It describes the multi-disciplinary monitoring and research underway to chemically and toxicologically characterize the spilled ash, investigate geochemical and hydrologic processes influencing movement of ash and ash contaminants, and evaluate potential ecological of this large-scale accidental release of coal combustion products to the Emory River. Initial results indicate some increased bioaccumulation of contaminants associated with ash, but observed ecological effects have been relatively small, considering the volume of material released. Continuing monitoring and research will focus on potential long-term environmental effects.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - DICKSON SOUTHWEST BYPASS FROM SR-1 (US 70) WEST OF DICKSON, TO SR-46 AND/OR I-40 SOUTH OF DICKSON, DICKSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE. AN - 900615885; 15050-2_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bypass on new location around the city of Dickson, Tennessee is proposed. The bypass would begin on the west side of Dickson on US 70 and terminate on Interstate 40 (I-40), State Route 46 (SR-46), or both I-40 and SR-46 south of Dickson. Currently, US-70 to SR-46 is the only primary route connecting the western and southern areas of Dickson and travel speeds through the urban center are low. The SR-46/I-40 interchange, which is the primary access point to Dickson from I-40, is expected to reach operational failure in 2023. The next closest interchange linking Dickson to I-40 is approximately 10 miles away. Therefore, an additional access point between Dickson and I-40 is currently under consideration for the project. Five build alternatives, transportation system management improvements to existing SR-46, and a No Build alternative are considered in this draft EIS. The bypass alternatives vary from 6.4 to 11.0 miles in length and all begin on SR-1 (US 70) between South Eno Road and Pond Switch Road. Alternative 1 has a terminus point at the southern end of the project on I-40. Alternatives 2A and 2C terminate on SR-46. Alternative 1 is proposed as a two-lane roadway with future expansion to four lanes with a depressed median. Alternatives 2A and 2C are proposed to have the same typical section as Alternative 1 from SR-1 (US 70) to SR-48. Then from SR-48 to SR-46, a five-lane section is proposed. Two possible combination alternatives, Alternative 1&2A and Alternative 1&2C, would involve construction of a facility with project termini on both SR-46 and I-40 and would increase accessibility to Dicksons airport. Total project costs are estimated at $50.5 to $60.6 million for the non-combination alternatives and $87.7 to $89.8 million for the combination alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The bypass would provide a transportation facility that improves mobility around the city of Dickson, relieves traffic congestion in Dicksons urban core, improves accessibility to undeveloped land west and south of the city, and supports economic development. Construction would be expected to generate 1,000 full- or part-time jobs and $110 to $132 million into the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of a bypass alternative would result in impacts to 120 to 165 acres of forested and old field habitats and up to 33 streams. The acquisition of some vacant property and as many as five rural residences would be required. The trend of conversion of farmland to other uses would likely be accelerated, especially near SR-46 and I-40. The bypass alternatives could directly impact two privately owned recreational resources: the Dickson Saddle and Bridle Club and Robins Park. The Dickson County Saddle and Bridle Club would be acquired for right-of-way if Alternative 2A is selected. Some local businesses would see a decrease in opportunity sales due to removal of traffic on SR-46. However, those losses would likely be recovered by an overall stimulation of the local economy.

The trend of conversion of farmland to other uses would likely be accelerated, especially near SR-46 and I-40. The bypass alternatives could directly impact two privately owned recreational resources: the Dickson Saddle and Bridle Club and Robins Park. The Dickson County Saddle and Bridle Club would be acquired for right-of-way if Alternative 2A is selected. Some local businesses would see a decrease in opportunity sales due to removal of traffic on SR-46. However, those losses would likely be recovered by an overall stimulation of the local economy.

AN - 884842967; 14980-0_0009 AB - PURPOSE: The adoption of a Natural Resource Plan (NRP) to determine how the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) will manage its reservoir lands, biological and cultural resources, water resources, and recreation programs over the next 20 years is proposed. The study area comprises 202 counties and approximately 59 million acres including the Tennessee River watershed and parts of the Cumberland, Mississippi, Green, and Ohio rivers where TVA power plants are located. The NRP analyzes TVAs current activities, goals for improving current programs and beginning new programs, and the benefits associated with the implementation of programs in each of the resource areas. This final programmatic EIS evaluates four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A) which would continue TVA's current management approach. Under all alternatives, TVA would implement the programs and activities that address safety, TVAs mission and relevant laws, regulations, executive orders, and policies. As laws, regulations, and policies are created or amended, implementation activities would be revised to reflect the changes and ensure continued compliance. The action alternatives represent a range of effort and resources committed to minimal, primarily reactive natural resource management (Alternative B - Custodial Management) to aggressive proactive management (Alternative C - Flagship Management). Alternative D, which is the preferred alternative, would implement a blended management approach. TVA has identified key programs that are integral to enhancing future implementation efforts while maintaining activities and projects that address safety and comply with TVAs mission and applicable laws, regulations, policies, and executive orders. This alternative takes into account the interconnectivity of each resource area and their supporting programs, helping to establish a foundation by which TVA may implement greater levels of programs in the future. All program options have been placed into one of three priority level groupings: custodial management, which represents the baseline; blended management, which identifies additional programs and activities that are integral to the NRP and are considered to be a springboard to help implement additional activities as partnerships and/or funding allows; and advanced management, which reflects program options that could be considered for future execution depending upon available opportunities, partnership, and resources. Detailed activities under the preferred alternative would include: the development and implementation of 15 comprehensive natural area management plans annually; nonnative invasive plant management on 1,000 acres per year; habitat improvement on 750 acres per year through partnership efforts; repair of 15 heavily impacted dispersed recreation sites annually; implementation of 10 key projects annually; archaeological surveys of 3,000 acres per year; annual evaluation and nomination of two to four sites to the National Register of Historic Places; implementation of additional third party agreements for up to 81 stream access sites per year; 125 stream assessments per year; implementation of a plan to reduce 720 to 1,080 tons per reservoir of suspended sediment transported from watershed streams into two of the top three reservoirs; and implementation of a plan to reduce 1,100 to 1,650 pounds per reservoir of phosphorus transported from watershed streams into two of the top three reservoirs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The NRP would address the processes and environmental policy objectives related to water resource protection and improvement, sustainable land use, and natural resource management with the objectives of providing optimum public use benefit and balancing competing and sometimes conflicting resource uses. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Blended Management would have less beneficial effects than Flagship Management for natural areas, vegetation, cultural resources, and socioeconomics. The blended management alternative would have beneficial impacts on developed recreation, but facilities would still be insufficient to meet recreation demand.

AN - 884842875; 14980-0_0004 AB - PURPOSE: The adoption of a Natural Resource Plan (NRP) to determine how the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) will manage its reservoir lands, biological and cultural resources, water resources, and recreation programs over the next 20 years is proposed. The study area comprises 202 counties and approximately 59 million acres including the Tennessee River watershed and parts of the Cumberland, Mississippi, Green, and Ohio rivers where TVA power plants are located. The NRP analyzes TVAs current activities, goals for improving current programs and beginning new programs, and the benefits associated with the implementation of programs in each of the resource areas. This final programmatic EIS evaluates four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A) which would continue TVA's current management approach. Under all alternatives, TVA would implement the programs and activities that address safety, TVAs mission and relevant laws, regulations, executive orders, and policies. As laws, regulations, and policies are created or amended, implementation activities would be revised to reflect the changes and ensure continued compliance. The action alternatives represent a range of effort and resources committed to minimal, primarily reactive natural resource management (Alternative B - Custodial Management) to aggressive proactive management (Alternative C - Flagship Management). Alternative D, which is the preferred alternative, would implement a blended management approach. TVA has identified key programs that are integral to enhancing future implementation efforts while maintaining activities and projects that address safety and comply with TVAs mission and applicable laws, regulations, policies, and executive orders. This alternative takes into account the interconnectivity of each resource area and their supporting programs, helping to establish a foundation by which TVA may implement greater levels of programs in the future. All program options have been placed into one of three priority level groupings: custodial management, which represents the baseline; blended management, which identifies additional programs and activities that are integral to the NRP and are considered to be a springboard to help implement additional activities as partnerships and/or funding allows; and advanced management, which reflects program options that could be considered for future execution depending upon available opportunities, partnership, and resources. Detailed activities under the preferred alternative would include: the development and implementation of 15 comprehensive natural area management plans annually; nonnative invasive plant management on 1,000 acres per year; habitat improvement on 750 acres per year through partnership efforts; repair of 15 heavily impacted dispersed recreation sites annually; implementation of 10 key projects annually; archaeological surveys of 3,000 acres per year; annual evaluation and nomination of two to four sites to the National Register of Historic Places; implementation of additional third party agreements for up to 81 stream access sites per year; 125 stream assessments per year; implementation of a plan to reduce 720 to 1,080 tons per reservoir of suspended sediment transported from watershed streams into two of the top three reservoirs; and implementation of a plan to reduce 1,100 to 1,650 pounds per reservoir of phosphorus transported from watershed streams into two of the top three reservoirs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The NRP would address the processes and environmental policy objectives related to water resource protection and improvement, sustainable land use, and natural resource management with the objectives of providing optimum public use benefit and balancing competing and sometimes conflicting resource uses. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Blended Management would have less beneficial effects than Flagship Management for natural areas, vegetation, cultural resources, and socioeconomics. The blended management alternative would have beneficial impacts on developed recreation, but facilities would still be insufficient to meet recreation demand.

AN - 884842547; 14980-0_0013 AB - PURPOSE: The adoption of a Natural Resource Plan (NRP) to determine how the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) will manage its reservoir lands, biological and cultural resources, water resources, and recreation programs over the next 20 years is proposed. The study area comprises 202 counties and approximately 59 million acres including the Tennessee River watershed and parts of the Cumberland, Mississippi, Green, and Ohio rivers where TVA power plants are located. The NRP analyzes TVAs current activities, goals for improving current programs and beginning new programs, and the benefits associated with the implementation of programs in each of the resource areas. This final programmatic EIS evaluates four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A) which would continue TVA's current management approach. Under all alternatives, TVA would implement the programs and activities that address safety, TVAs mission and relevant laws, regulations, executive orders, and policies. As laws, regulations, and policies are created or amended, implementation activities would be revised to reflect the changes and ensure continued compliance. The action alternatives represent a range of effort and resources committed to minimal, primarily reactive natural resource management (Alternative B - Custodial Management) to aggressive proactive management (Alternative C - Flagship Management). Alternative D, which is the preferred alternative, would implement a blended management approach. TVA has identified key programs that are integral to enhancing future implementation efforts while maintaining activities and projects that address safety and comply with TVAs mission and applicable laws, regulations, policies, and executive orders. This alternative takes into account the interconnectivity of each resource area and their supporting programs, helping to establish a foundation by which TVA may implement greater levels of programs in the future. All program options have been placed into one of three priority level groupings: custodial management, which represents the baseline; blended management, which identifies additional programs and activities that are integral to the NRP and are considered to be a springboard to help implement additional activities as partnerships and/or funding allows; and advanced management, which reflects program options that could be considered for future execution depending upon available opportunities, partnership, and resources. Detailed activities under the preferred alternative would include: the development and implementation of 15 comprehensive natural area management plans annually; nonnative invasive plant management on 1,000 acres per year; habitat improvement on 750 acres per year through partnership efforts; repair of 15 heavily impacted dispersed recreation sites annually; implementation of 10 key projects annually; archaeological surveys of 3,000 acres per year; annual evaluation and nomination of two to four sites to the National Register of Historic Places; implementation of additional third party agreements for up to 81 stream access sites per year; 125 stream assessments per year; implementation of a plan to reduce 720 to 1,080 tons per reservoir of suspended sediment transported from watershed streams into two of the top three reservoirs; and implementation of a plan to reduce 1,100 to 1,650 pounds per reservoir of phosphorus transported from watershed streams into two of the top three reservoirs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The NRP would address the processes and environmental policy objectives related to water resource protection and improvement, sustainable land use, and natural resource management with the objectives of providing optimum public use benefit and balancing competing and sometimes conflicting resource uses. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Blended Management would have less beneficial effects than Flagship Management for natural areas, vegetation, cultural resources, and socioeconomics. The blended management alternative would have beneficial impacts on developed recreation, but facilities would still be insufficient to meet recreation demand.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 1 AND 2 LICENSE RENEWAL, HAMILTON COUNTY, TENNESSEE (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF 1974). AN - 884411269; 14960-0_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) proposes to submit an application to renew the operating licenses for Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN), Units 1 and 2, located in Hamilton County, Tennessee, for an additional 20 years. SQN provides substantive base load generation to the TVA power service area where demand for electricity has grown at an average rate of 2.3 percent per year from 1990 to 2008. Without renewal, permitted operation would expire on September 17, 2020 for Unit 1 and on September 15, 2021 for Unit 2. SQN is located on a peninsula on the western shore of Chickamauga Reservoir at Tennessee River mile 484.5. The plant is close to the city of Soddy-Daisy and is 18 miles northeast of Chattanooga. SQN Units 1 and 2 are pressurized light water reactors with a capacity of approximately 1,200 megawatts (MW)-electric each. The SQN site consists of 630 acres that includes 525 acres of land known as the industrial site and 105 acres know as the training area peninsula. This EIS supplements the final EIS that TVA prepared in 1974 to evaluate the impacts of constructing and operating SQN. In addition to continued operation of SQN, alternative methods for supplying electrical power are evaluated. Under Alternative 1, which is the preferred alternative, license renewal would allow normal operations, maintenance, and refueling of SQN Units 1 and 2 to continue. No major construction or ground-disturbing activities would occur and no changes to the programs, processes, or procedures currently in use would be required. However, if the Department of Energy does not take responsibility for the permanent storage and disposal of spent fuel before 2026, expansion of the on-site independent spent fuel storage installation may be required to support operations during the period of license renewal. The No Action Alternative (Alternative 2) would involve ceasing operation of SQN when the current operating licenses expire, and using other methods to provide necessary capacity and energy. Under Alternative 2a, SQN Units 1 and 2 would be decommissioned and TVA would construct a new nuclear power plant at an alternate site. A new plant site would require an estimated 1,000 acres plus additional land for transmission lines and other facilities, depending upon existing infrastructure. It is assumed that the new nuclear power plant would have an initial 40-year license term with the opportunity to renew for an additional 20-year license term. The Advanced Passive 1000 (AP1000) reactor technology which TVA is exploring has a 60-year plant design. Under Alternative 2b, SQN Units 1 and 2 would be decommissioned and TVA would identify a suitable site and design a new natural gas-fired facility, most likely using combined-cycle type generation units. Construction would likely require clearing of 110 to 132 acres. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewal to extend operation of SQN Units 1 and 2 would help meet the identified need for power between 2020 and 2041, support TVAs efforts to reduce emission of greenhouse gasses, and maximize use of existing assets. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Minor impacts from chemical discharges, radioactive effluents and waste, solid and hazardous waste disposal, the thermal plume in Chickamauga Reservoir, noise, and wastewater would result from continued operation. Under the new power generation facilities alternatives, impacts to hydrology and water use could range from minor to moderate. Construction would have temporary and minor impacts from sedimentation, erosion, and noise. Depending on the site selected, there would be potentially substantial impacts to wetlands and aquatic ecology, terrestrial plants and wildlife, cultural resources, and socioeconomics.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY NATURAL RESOURCE PLAN, ALABAMA, GEORGIA, KENTUCKY, MISSISSIPPI, NORTH CAROLINA, TENNESSEE, AND VIRGINIA. AN - 868223239; 14848-2_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The adoption of a Natural Resource Plan (NRP) to determine how the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) will manage its reservoir lands, biological and cultural resources, water resources, and recreation programs over the next 20 years is proposed. The primary study area comprises 202 counties and approximately 59 million acres. In addition to the Tennessee River watershed, it covers parts of the Cumberland, Mississippi, Green, and Ohio rivers where TVA power plants are located. This draft programmatic EIS evaluates four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A) which would continue TVA's current management approach. Under the Custodial Management Alternative (Alternative B), specific programs that address safety and compliance with TVAs mission, applicable laws, regulations, and executive orders (EOs) and policies would be implemented. As laws, regulations, policies and EOs are created or amended; implementation activities would be revised to reflect this. In those areas in which TVA would discontinue programs or projects, existing contractual agreements relating to those programs or projects would be honored. In addition, TVA would focus on transitioning the management of certain recreational facilities through contractual agreements or would close the facilities. Under the Flagship Management Alternative (Alternative C), TVA would explore, pilot test, and implement new strategies for enhancing stewardship programs and developed recreational facilities while emphasizing sustainable technologies. Similarly, activities or projects that address safety and compliance with TVAs mission and applicable laws, regulations, policies, and EOs would be implemented. As these change, implementation activities would be revised accordingly. Alternative D, which is the preferred alternative, would implement a blended management approach. TVA has identified key programs that are integral toward enhancing future implementation efforts while maintaining activities and projects that address safety and comply with TVAs mission and applicable laws, regulations, policies, and EOs. This alternative takes into account the interconnectivity of each resource area and their supporting programs, helping to establish a foundation by which TVA may implement greater levels of programs in the future. Within this alternative, all program options have been placed into one of three priority level groupings: custodial management, which represents the baseline at which TVA proposes to implement for its natural resource programs; blended management, which identifies additional programs and activities that are integral to the NRP and are considered to be a springboard to help implement additional activities as partnerships and/or funding allows; and advanced management, which reflects program options that could be considered for future execution depending upon available opportunities, partnership, and resources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The NRP would proactively address the planning processes and environmental policy objectives related to water resource protection and improvement, sustainable land use, and natural resource management. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Blended Management would have less beneficial effects than Flagship Management for natural areas, vegetation, cultural resources, and socioeconomics. The blended management alternative would have beneficial impacts on developed recreation, but facilities would still be insufficient to meet recreation demand.

[Part 2 of 2] T2 - TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLAN, ALABAMA, GEORGIA, KENTUCKY, MISSISSIPPI, NORTH CAROLINA, TENNESSEE, AND VIRGINIA. AN - 873129308; 14826-0_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The adoption of a new Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) to determine how the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) will meet the electrical needs of its customers over the next 20 years is proposed. With a generating capacity of 37,000 megawatts (MWs), TVA is the largest producer of public power in the United States, provides wholesale power to 155 distributors, and directly sells power to 57 large industrial and federal customers. TVA's power system serves nine million people in a seven-state, 80,000-square-mile region. When completed, the new IRP will replace the Energy Vision 2020 plan which TVA developed in the mid-1990s. As part of the new planning process, TVA has evaluated the future demand for electricity by its customers, characterized potential supply-side and demand-side options for meeting future demand, and assembled these options into planning strategies and portfolios. TVA then evaluated the strategies for several criteria including capital and fuel costs, risk, reliability, compliance with existing and anticipated future regulations, environmental impacts, and flexibility in adapting to changing future conditions. A final suite of four alternative strategies are evaluated in this final EIS: 1) the Baseline Plan (No Action Alternative or Strategy B); 2) the Diversity-Focused Resource Portfolio (Strategy C); 3) the Energy Efficiency-Demand Response (EEDR) and Renewables Focused Resource Portfolio (Strategy E), and 4) the Recommended Planning Direction (Strategy R). Under all of these strategies, the major fuels used for generating electricity would continue to be coal, enriched uranium, and natural gas; but coal-fired generation would decrease and reliance on renewable and demand-side resources would increase. All strategies would add varying amounts of new nuclear and natural gas-fueled generation. The Recommended Planning Direction Portfolio would: expand contributions of EEDR by 3,600 to 5,100 MW by 2020; pursue cost-effective renewable energy additions of 1,500 to 2,500 MW by 2020; idle 2,400 to 4,700 MW of coal-fired capacity by 2017; add a pumped storage hydroelectric facility with an expected capacity of 850 MW between 2020 and 2024; increase the contribution of nuclear generation by 1,150 to 5,900 MW; preserve the option of coal-fired generation with carbon capture with the addition of up to 900 MW of capacity between 2025 and 2029; and add natural gas capacity of 900 to 9,300 MW between 2010 and 2029. Transmission upgrades would be necessary to support new renewable, gas, nuclear and coal-fired capacity, and TVA could also participate in interregional projects to transmit renewable energy. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The IRP would serve as a roadmap for the TVA to fulfill its mission of providing low-cost, reliable power. The retirement of coal plants would result in long-term reductions in the production of ash and related materials, such as slag, from coal combustion. Emissions of air pollutants and the intensity of greenhouse gas emissions would decrease under all strategies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of generating plants would continue to release various air and water pollutants, although the installation of additional emission control systems on coal units is expected to reduce the release of air pollutants. The amount of radioactive waste produced and the volume of water used and water consumed by thermal generation facilities would increase. The extraction of greater amounts of natural gas from shale formations in Texas, Michigan, and Appalachia would require increased hydraulic fracturing with potential impacts to water supplies. Continued on-site storage of spent nuclear fuel would require construction of additional dry cask storage facilities. The construction and operation of new generating facilities would result in changes in land use and unavoidably affect resources such as farmland, wildlife habitat, and scenery.

AN - 860869119; 14826 AB - PURPOSE: The adoption of a new Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) to determine how the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) will meet the electrical needs of its customers over the next 20 years is proposed. With a generating capacity of 37,000 megawatts (MWs), TVA is the largest producer of public power in the United States, provides wholesale power to 155 distributors, and directly sells power to 57 large industrial and federal customers. TVA's power system serves nine million people in a seven-state, 80,000-square-mile region. When completed, the new IRP will replace the Energy Vision 2020 plan which TVA developed in the mid-1990s. As part of the new planning process, TVA has evaluated the future demand for electricity by its customers, characterized potential supply-side and demand-side options for meeting future demand, and assembled these options into planning strategies and portfolios. TVA then evaluated the strategies for several criteria including capital and fuel costs, risk, reliability, compliance with existing and anticipated future regulations, environmental impacts, and flexibility in adapting to changing future conditions. A final suite of four alternative strategies are evaluated in this final EIS: 1) the Baseline Plan (No Action Alternative or Strategy B); 2) the Diversity-Focused Resource Portfolio (Strategy C); 3) the Energy Efficiency-Demand Response (EEDR) and Renewables Focused Resource Portfolio (Strategy E), and 4) the Recommended Planning Direction (Strategy R). Under all of these strategies, the major fuels used for generating electricity would continue to be coal, enriched uranium, and natural gas; but coal-fired generation would decrease and reliance on renewable and demand-side resources would increase. All strategies would add varying amounts of new nuclear and natural gas-fueled generation. The Recommended Planning Direction Portfolio would: expand contributions of EEDR by 3,600 to 5,100 MW by 2020; pursue cost-effective renewable energy additions of 1,500 to 2,500 MW by 2020; idle 2,400 to 4,700 MW of coal-fired capacity by 2017; add a pumped storage hydroelectric facility with an expected capacity of 850 MW between 2020 and 2024; increase the contribution of nuclear generation by 1,150 to 5,900 MW; preserve the option of coal-fired generation with carbon capture with the addition of up to 900 MW of capacity between 2025 and 2029; and add natural gas capacity of 900 to 9,300 MW between 2010 and 2029. Transmission upgrades would be necessary to support new renewable, gas, nuclear and coal-fired capacity, and TVA could also participate in interregional projects to transmit renewable energy. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The IRP would serve as a roadmap for the TVA to fulfill its mission of providing low-cost, reliable power. The retirement of coal plants would result in long-term reductions in the production of ash and related materials, such as slag, from coal combustion. Emissions of air pollutants and the intensity of greenhouse gas emissions would decrease under all strategies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of generating plants would continue to release various air and water pollutants, although the installation of additional emission control systems on coal units is expected to reduce the release of air pollutants. The amount of radioactive waste produced and the volume of water used and water consumed by thermal generation facilities would increase. The extraction of greater amounts of natural gas from shale formations in Texas, Michigan, and Appalachia would require increased hydraulic fracturing with potential impacts to water supplies. Continued on-site storage of spent nuclear fuel would require construction of additional dry cask storage facilities. The construction and operation of new generating facilities would result in changes in land use and unavoidably affect resources such as farmland, wildlife habitat, and scenery.

Chemistry parameterizations were based on published reaction kinetic data and a recently developed cloud chemistry model that includes heterogeneous reactions of organic sulfur compounds. Evaluation of the revised model was conducted using a recently enhanced data base of natural emissions that includes ocean and continental sources of DMS, H sub(2)S, chlorinated gases and lightning NO sub(x) for the continental United States and surrounding regions. Results using 2002 meteorology and emissions indicated that most simulated "natural" (plus background) chemical and aerosol species exhibit the expected seasonal variations at the surface. Ozone exhibits a winter and early spring maximum consistent with ozone data and an earlier published model. Ozone distributions reflect the influences of atmospheric dynamics and pollutant background levels imposed on the CMAQ simulation by boundary conditions derived from a global model. A series of model experiments reveals that the consideration of gas-phase organic sulfur chemistry leads to sulfate aerosol increases over most of the continental United States. Cloud chemistry parameterization changes result in widespread decreases in SO sub(2) across the modeling domain and both increases and decreases in sulfate. Most cloud-mediated sulfate increases occurred mainly over the Pacific Ocean (up to about 0.1 mu g m super(-3)) but also over and downwind from the Gulf of Mexico (including parts of the eastern US). Geographic variations in simulated SO sub(2) and sulfate are due to the link between DMS/H sub(2)S and their byproduct SO sub(2), the heterogeneity of cloud cover and precipitation (precipitating clouds act as net sinks for SO sub(2) and sulfate), and the persistence of cloud cover (the largest relative sulfate increases occurred over the persistently cloudy Gulf of Mexico and western Atlantic Ocean). Overall, the addition of organic sulfur chemistry increased hourly surface sulfate levels by up to 1-2 mu g m super(-3) but reduced sulfate levels in the vicinity of high SO sub(2) emissions (e.g., wildfires). Simulated surface levels of DMS compare reasonably well with observations in the marine boundary layer where DMS oxidation product levels are lower than observed. This implies either a low bias in model oxidation rates of organic sulfur species or a low bias in the boundary conditions for DMS oxidation products. This revised version of CMAQ provides a tool for realistically simulating the influence of natural emissions on air quality.

AN - 873127591; 14762-6_0020 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal and potential redevelopment of a 1,400-acre portion of the Muscle Shoals Reservation (MSR) in Colbert County, Alabama are proposed. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) assumed custody of the 2,600-acre MSR in 1933 when it was transferred from the U.S. War Department. Located in northwestern Alabama, MSR is surrounded by the four cities of Sheffield, Muscle Shoals, Tuscumbia, and Florence. For over 50 years, TVA operated a fertilizer research and development facility at MSR to help improve agriculture in the Tennessee Valley region. During World War II and the Korean Conflict, TVA converted its fertilizer production facilities to the manufacture of munitions as well as synthetic rubber. In 1952, TVA began operation of two plants on the MSR for the U.S. Army: a chlorine plant and the Phosphate Development Works (PDW), which produced methyl phosphonous dichloride and methyl phosphonic dichloride. The 1,400-acre MSR study area is located mostly south of Reservation Road and this nonreservoir property and associated buildings and facilities are no longer needed to support TVA operations. One perennial stream, Pond Creek, drains most of the area and flows into the Tennessee River just downstream of Wilson Dam. Many historic buildings and structures eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places are located on the property. The redevelopment proposal does not include the recreation area north of Reservation Road. Large areas of the MSR study area have been highly affected by past U.S. War Department and TVA land use and facilities operations, but relatively small areas remain contaminated. The MSR study area is contained entirely within and managed in accordance with a 2,260-acre Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) permit issued by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management. Within the RCRA permit area, approximately 64 acres of land are included in monitored solid waste management units (SWMUs) that will be retained by TVA to meet its current and future obligations. An additional 17 acres in scattered small areas near these SWMUs were part of a RCRA facilities investigation and were subsequently cleaned up to industrial screening levels in the late 1990s. Areas of concern include a former landfill site containing wastes from the PDW, phosphorous entombment areas, a phosphate slag storage area, and a low-level radioactive waste burial site. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are evaluated in this draft EIS. Under the No Action Alternative (Alternative A), TVA would not dispose of the property but would continue to administer and manage it under TVAs 1996 Muscle Shoals/Wilson Dam Reservation Land Use Plan. Under the four action alternatives, the land could potentially be disposed of, likely by a sale at public auction, and be used for conservation and low-impact development (Alternative B); commercial, retail, and residential use (Alternative C); industrial use (Alternative D); or a mix of these uses (Alternative E). Due to the legacy contamination currently impacting groundwater, no groundwater development for potable use purposes would be allowed on the MSR study area under any proposed alternative. Alternative E is the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The transfer would help reduce TVA's operations and maintenance costs, enhance local economic development opportunity, and help TVA reduce its environmental footprint. Industrial and mixed use development would have potentially significant positive effects on local income and employment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development would have minor impacts on soils, farmland, wetlands and floodplains. Solid and hazardous waste sites could have minor impacts, but potential for exposure to any remaining contaminants would be low. Development of portions of the property could cause significant effects to bird life and the American Chestnut Foundation research orchard. Minor to moderate loss of recreational opportunities would occur. Historic architectural resources would be adversely affected, but mitigated through specified measures; adaptive reuse of buildings and structures would be encouraged. Non-conservation development alternatives would adversely affect three archaeological sites and two cemeteries.

AN - 873127015; 14762-6_0017 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal and potential redevelopment of a 1,400-acre portion of the Muscle Shoals Reservation (MSR) in Colbert County, Alabama are proposed. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) assumed custody of the 2,600-acre MSR in 1933 when it was transferred from the U.S. War Department. Located in northwestern Alabama, MSR is surrounded by the four cities of Sheffield, Muscle Shoals, Tuscumbia, and Florence. For over 50 years, TVA operated a fertilizer research and development facility at MSR to help improve agriculture in the Tennessee Valley region. During World War II and the Korean Conflict, TVA converted its fertilizer production facilities to the manufacture of munitions as well as synthetic rubber. In 1952, TVA began operation of two plants on the MSR for the U.S. Army: a chlorine plant and the Phosphate Development Works (PDW), which produced methyl phosphonous dichloride and methyl phosphonic dichloride. The 1,400-acre MSR study area is located mostly south of Reservation Road and this nonreservoir property and associated buildings and facilities are no longer needed to support TVA operations. One perennial stream, Pond Creek, drains most of the area and flows into the Tennessee River just downstream of Wilson Dam. Many historic buildings and structures eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places are located on the property. The redevelopment proposal does not include the recreation area north of Reservation Road. Large areas of the MSR study area have been highly affected by past U.S. War Department and TVA land use and facilities operations, but relatively small areas remain contaminated. The MSR study area is contained entirely within and managed in accordance with a 2,260-acre Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) permit issued by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management. Within the RCRA permit area, approximately 64 acres of land are included in monitored solid waste management units (SWMUs) that will be retained by TVA to meet its current and future obligations. An additional 17 acres in scattered small areas near these SWMUs were part of a RCRA facilities investigation and were subsequently cleaned up to industrial screening levels in the late 1990s. Areas of concern include a former landfill site containing wastes from the PDW, phosphorous entombment areas, a phosphate slag storage area, and a low-level radioactive waste burial site. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are evaluated in this draft EIS. Under the No Action Alternative (Alternative A), TVA would not dispose of the property but would continue to administer and manage it under TVAs 1996 Muscle Shoals/Wilson Dam Reservation Land Use Plan. Under the four action alternatives, the land could potentially be disposed of, likely by a sale at public auction, and be used for conservation and low-impact development (Alternative B); commercial, retail, and residential use (Alternative C); industrial use (Alternative D); or a mix of these uses (Alternative E). Due to the legacy contamination currently impacting groundwater, no groundwater development for potable use purposes would be allowed on the MSR study area under any proposed alternative. Alternative E is the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The transfer would help reduce TVA's operations and maintenance costs, enhance local economic development opportunity, and help TVA reduce its environmental footprint. Industrial and mixed use development would have potentially significant positive effects on local income and employment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development would have minor impacts on soils, farmland, wetlands and floodplains. Solid and hazardous waste sites could have minor impacts, but potential for exposure to any remaining contaminants would be low. Development of portions of the property could cause significant effects to bird life and the American Chestnut Foundation research orchard. Minor to moderate loss of recreational opportunities would occur. Historic architectural resources would be adversely affected, but mitigated through specified measures; adaptive reuse of buildings and structures would be encouraged. Non-conservation development alternatives would adversely affect three archaeological sites and two cemeteries.

AN - 873126980; 14762-6_0012 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal and potential redevelopment of a 1,400-acre portion of the Muscle Shoals Reservation (MSR) in Colbert County, Alabama are proposed. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) assumed custody of the 2,600-acre MSR in 1933 when it was transferred from the U.S. War Department. Located in northwestern Alabama, MSR is surrounded by the four cities of Sheffield, Muscle Shoals, Tuscumbia, and Florence. For over 50 years, TVA operated a fertilizer research and development facility at MSR to help improve agriculture in the Tennessee Valley region. During World War II and the Korean Conflict, TVA converted its fertilizer production facilities to the manufacture of munitions as well as synthetic rubber. In 1952, TVA began operation of two plants on the MSR for the U.S. Army: a chlorine plant and the Phosphate Development Works (PDW), which produced methyl phosphonous dichloride and methyl phosphonic dichloride. The 1,400-acre MSR study area is located mostly south of Reservation Road and this nonreservoir property and associated buildings and facilities are no longer needed to support TVA operations. One perennial stream, Pond Creek, drains most of the area and flows into the Tennessee River just downstream of Wilson Dam. Many historic buildings and structures eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places are located on the property. The redevelopment proposal does not include the recreation area north of Reservation Road. Large areas of the MSR study area have been highly affected by past U.S. War Department and TVA land use and facilities operations, but relatively small areas remain contaminated. The MSR study area is contained entirely within and managed in accordance with a 2,260-acre Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) permit issued by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management. Within the RCRA permit area, approximately 64 acres of land are included in monitored solid waste management units (SWMUs) that will be retained by TVA to meet its current and future obligations. An additional 17 acres in scattered small areas near these SWMUs were part of a RCRA facilities investigation and were subsequently cleaned up to industrial screening levels in the late 1990s. Areas of concern include a former landfill site containing wastes from the PDW, phosphorous entombment areas, a phosphate slag storage area, and a low-level radioactive waste burial site. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are evaluated in this draft EIS. Under the No Action Alternative (Alternative A), TVA would not dispose of the property but would continue to administer and manage it under TVAs 1996 Muscle Shoals/Wilson Dam Reservation Land Use Plan. Under the four action alternatives, the land could potentially be disposed of, likely by a sale at public auction, and be used for conservation and low-impact development (Alternative B); commercial, retail, and residential use (Alternative C); industrial use (Alternative D); or a mix of these uses (Alternative E). Due to the legacy contamination currently impacting groundwater, no groundwater development for potable use purposes would be allowed on the MSR study area under any proposed alternative. Alternative E is the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The transfer would help reduce TVA's operations and maintenance costs, enhance local economic development opportunity, and help TVA reduce its environmental footprint. Industrial and mixed use development would have potentially significant positive effects on local income and employment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development would have minor impacts on soils, farmland, wetlands and floodplains. Solid and hazardous waste sites could have minor impacts, but potential for exposure to any remaining contaminants would be low. Development of portions of the property could cause significant effects to bird life and the American Chestnut Foundation research orchard. Minor to moderate loss of recreational opportunities would occur. Historic architectural resources would be adversely affected, but mitigated through specified measures; adaptive reuse of buildings and structures would be encouraged. Non-conservation development alternatives would adversely affect three archaeological sites and two cemeteries.

AN - 873126953; 14762-6_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal and potential redevelopment of a 1,400-acre portion of the Muscle Shoals Reservation (MSR) in Colbert County, Alabama are proposed. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) assumed custody of the 2,600-acre MSR in 1933 when it was transferred from the U.S. War Department. Located in northwestern Alabama, MSR is surrounded by the four cities of Sheffield, Muscle Shoals, Tuscumbia, and Florence. For over 50 years, TVA operated a fertilizer research and development facility at MSR to help improve agriculture in the Tennessee Valley region. During World War II and the Korean Conflict, TVA converted its fertilizer production facilities to the manufacture of munitions as well as synthetic rubber. In 1952, TVA began operation of two plants on the MSR for the U.S. Army: a chlorine plant and the Phosphate Development Works (PDW), which produced methyl phosphonous dichloride and methyl phosphonic dichloride. The 1,400-acre MSR study area is located mostly south of Reservation Road and this nonreservoir property and associated buildings and facilities are no longer needed to support TVA operations. One perennial stream, Pond Creek, drains most of the area and flows into the Tennessee River just downstream of Wilson Dam. Many historic buildings and structures eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places are located on the property. The redevelopment proposal does not include the recreation area north of Reservation Road. Large areas of the MSR study area have been highly affected by past U.S. War Department and TVA land use and facilities operations, but relatively small areas remain contaminated. The MSR study area is contained entirely within and managed in accordance with a 2,260-acre Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) permit issued by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management. Within the RCRA permit area, approximately 64 acres of land are included in monitored solid waste management units (SWMUs) that will be retained by TVA to meet its current and future obligations. An additional 17 acres in scattered small areas near these SWMUs were part of a RCRA facilities investigation and were subsequently cleaned up to industrial screening levels in the late 1990s. Areas of concern include a former landfill site containing wastes from the PDW, phosphorous entombment areas, a phosphate slag storage area, and a low-level radioactive waste burial site. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are evaluated in this draft EIS. Under the No Action Alternative (Alternative A), TVA would not dispose of the property but would continue to administer and manage it under TVAs 1996 Muscle Shoals/Wilson Dam Reservation Land Use Plan. Under the four action alternatives, the land could potentially be disposed of, likely by a sale at public auction, and be used for conservation and low-impact development (Alternative B); commercial, retail, and residential use (Alternative C); industrial use (Alternative D); or a mix of these uses (Alternative E). Due to the legacy contamination currently impacting groundwater, no groundwater development for potable use purposes would be allowed on the MSR study area under any proposed alternative. Alternative E is the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The transfer would help reduce TVA's operations and maintenance costs, enhance local economic development opportunity, and help TVA reduce its environmental footprint. Industrial and mixed use development would have potentially significant positive effects on local income and employment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development would have minor impacts on soils, farmland, wetlands and floodplains. Solid and hazardous waste sites could have minor impacts, but potential for exposure to any remaining contaminants would be low. Development of portions of the property could cause significant effects to bird life and the American Chestnut Foundation research orchard. Minor to moderate loss of recreational opportunities would occur. Historic architectural resources would be adversely affected, but mitigated through specified measures; adaptive reuse of buildings and structures would be encouraged. Non-conservation development alternatives would adversely affect three archaeological sites and two cemeteries.

AN - 873126819; 14762-6_0009 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal and potential redevelopment of a 1,400-acre portion of the Muscle Shoals Reservation (MSR) in Colbert County, Alabama are proposed. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) assumed custody of the 2,600-acre MSR in 1933 when it was transferred from the U.S. War Department. Located in northwestern Alabama, MSR is surrounded by the four cities of Sheffield, Muscle Shoals, Tuscumbia, and Florence. For over 50 years, TVA operated a fertilizer research and development facility at MSR to help improve agriculture in the Tennessee Valley region. During World War II and the Korean Conflict, TVA converted its fertilizer production facilities to the manufacture of munitions as well as synthetic rubber. In 1952, TVA began operation of two plants on the MSR for the U.S. Army: a chlorine plant and the Phosphate Development Works (PDW), which produced methyl phosphonous dichloride and methyl phosphonic dichloride. The 1,400-acre MSR study area is located mostly south of Reservation Road and this nonreservoir property and associated buildings and facilities are no longer needed to support TVA operations. One perennial stream, Pond Creek, drains most of the area and flows into the Tennessee River just downstream of Wilson Dam. Many historic buildings and structures eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places are located on the property. The redevelopment proposal does not include the recreation area north of Reservation Road. Large areas of the MSR study area have been highly affected by past U.S. War Department and TVA land use and facilities operations, but relatively small areas remain contaminated. The MSR study area is contained entirely within and managed in accordance with a 2,260-acre Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) permit issued by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management. Within the RCRA permit area, approximately 64 acres of land are included in monitored solid waste management units (SWMUs) that will be retained by TVA to meet its current and future obligations. An additional 17 acres in scattered small areas near these SWMUs were part of a RCRA facilities investigation and were subsequently cleaned up to industrial screening levels in the late 1990s. Areas of concern include a former landfill site containing wastes from the PDW, phosphorous entombment areas, a phosphate slag storage area, and a low-level radioactive waste burial site. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are evaluated in this draft EIS. Under the No Action Alternative (Alternative A), TVA would not dispose of the property but would continue to administer and manage it under TVAs 1996 Muscle Shoals/Wilson Dam Reservation Land Use Plan. Under the four action alternatives, the land could potentially be disposed of, likely by a sale at public auction, and be used for conservation and low-impact development (Alternative B); commercial, retail, and residential use (Alternative C); industrial use (Alternative D); or a mix of these uses (Alternative E). Due to the legacy contamination currently impacting groundwater, no groundwater development for potable use purposes would be allowed on the MSR study area under any proposed alternative. Alternative E is the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The transfer would help reduce TVA's operations and maintenance costs, enhance local economic development opportunity, and help TVA reduce its environmental footprint. Industrial and mixed use development would have potentially significant positive effects on local income and employment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development would have minor impacts on soils, farmland, wetlands and floodplains. Solid and hazardous waste sites could have minor impacts, but potential for exposure to any remaining contaminants would be low. Development of portions of the property could cause significant effects to bird life and the American Chestnut Foundation research orchard. Minor to moderate loss of recreational opportunities would occur. Historic architectural resources would be adversely affected, but mitigated through specified measures; adaptive reuse of buildings and structures would be encouraged. Non-conservation development alternatives would adversely affect three archaeological sites and two cemeteries.

AN - 873131203; 14702-2_0001 AB - PURPOSE: Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) proposes to submit an application to renew the operating licenses for Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN), Units 1 and 2, located in Hamilton County, Tennessee, for an additional 20 years. As an integral part of TVAs current generation portfolio, SQN provides substantive base load generation to the TVA power service area where demand for electricity has grown at an average rate of 2.3 percent per year from 1990 to 2008. Without renewal, permitted operation would expire on September 17, 2020 for Unit 1 and on September 15, 2021 for Unit 2. SQN Units 1 and 2 are pressurized light water reactors with a capacity of approximately 1200 megawatts (MW)-electric each. SQN began commercial operation with Unit 1 in July 1981 and Unit 2 in June 1982. The SQN site consists of 630 acres that includes 525 acres of land known as the industrial site and 105 acres know as the training area peninsula. SQN is located near the geographical center of Hamilton County, Tennessee, on a peninsula on the western shore of Chickamauga Reservoir at Tennessee River mile 484.5. SQN is close to the city of Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee, and is 18 miles northeast of the Chattanooga, Tennessee city center. In addition to continued operation of SQN, alternative methods for supplying electrical power are evaluated in this draft EIS. Under Alternative 1, which is the preferred alternative, license renewal would involve continuation of normal operations, maintenance, and refueling of SQN Units 1 and 2. No major construction or ground-disturbing activities would occur and no changes to the programs, processes, or procedures currently in use would be required. The No Action Alternative (Alternative 2) would involve ceasing operation of SQN when the current operating licenses expire, and using other methods to provide necessary capacity and energy. Under Alternative 2a, SQN Unis 1 and 2 would be decommissioned and TVA would construct a new nuclear power plant at an alternate greenfield or brownfield site. It is estimated that the new plant site would require 1000 acres; additional land for transmission lines and other facilities could be necessary, depending upon existing infrastructure. It is assumed that the new nuclear power plant would have an initial 40-year license term with the opportunity to renew for an additional 20-year license term. The Advanced Passive 1000 (AP1000) reactor technology which TVA is exploring has a 60-year plant design. Under Alternative 2b, SQN Unis 1 and 2 would be decommissioned and TVA would identify a suitable site and design a new natural gas-fired facility, most likely using combined-cycle type generation units. Construction would likely require clearing of 110 to 132 acres. POSITIVE IMPACTS: License renewal would: extend the operational life of SQN Units 1 and 2 to help meet the identified need for power between 2020 and 2041; support TVAs efforts to reduce its emission of greenhouse gasses; and maximize use of existing assets. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Minor impacts from chemical discharges, radioactive effluents and waste, solid and hazardous waste disposal, the thermal plume in Chickamauga Reservoir, noise, and wastewater would result from continued operation of SQN. Under the new power generation facilities alternatives, impacts to hydrology and water use could range from minor to moderate. Construction would have temporary and minor impacts from sedimentation, erosion, and noise. Depending on the site selected, there would be potentially substantial impacts to wetlands and aquatic ecology, terrestrial plants and wildlife, cultural resources, and socioeconomics.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLAN. AN - 873132028; 14651-9_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The adoption of a new Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) to determine how the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) will meet the electrical needs of its customers over the next 20 years is proposed. With a generating capacity of 37,000 megawatts (MWs), TVA is the largest producer of public power in the United States, provides wholesale power to 155 distributors, and directly sells power to 57 large industrial and federal customers. TVA's power system serves nine million people in a seven-state, 80,000 square mile region. When completed, the new IRP will replace the Energy Vision 2020 plan which TVA developed in the mid-1990s. Under the earlier plan, TVA adopted a flexible portfolio of supply-side and demand-side energy resource options to meet the growing demand for electricity in the region, prepare for industry deregulation, and achieve the goals of the TVA Act and other congressional directives. As part of the new planning process, TVA has evaluated the future demand for electricity by its customers, characterized potential supply-side and demand-side options for meeting future demand, and assembled these options into planning strategies and portfolios. TVA then evaluated the strategies for several criteria including capital and fuel costs, risk, reliability, compliance with existing and anticipated future regulations, environmental impacts, and flexibility in adapting to changing future conditions. A final suite of three alternative strategies are evaluated in this draft EIS: 1) the Baseline Plan (No Action Alternative or Strategy B); 2) the Diversity-Focused Resource Portfolio (Strategy C); and 3) Energy Efficiency-Demand Response (EEDR) and Renewables Focused Resource Portfolio (Strategy E). Under all of these strategies, the major fuels used for generating electricity would continue to be coal, enriched uranium, and natural gas, but coal-fired generation would decrease and reliance on renewable and demand-side resources would increase. All strategies would add varying amounts of new nuclear and natural gas-fueled generation. The Diversity Focused Resource Portfolio would include an increase in EEDR programs and renewable energy additions over Strategy B. Defined model inputs include annual EEDR reductions of 3,600 MW and 11,400 gigawatt hours (GWh) by 2020, renewables additions of 2,500 MW and 9,600 GWh by 2020, 3,000 MW of coal plant layups by 2017, and a pumped storage unit. Nuclear, coal, and gas-fired plants are options to meet demand. The Strategy C portfolio contains coal plant layups of almost 3,400 MW under all scenarios and new nuclear units under all but the two scenarios with the lowest load growth. The primary source of new generation to meet future electricity needs is nuclear and gas-fired capacity. Transmission upgrades would be necessary to support new renewable, gas, nuclear and coal-fired capacity, and TVA could also participate in interregional project to transmit renewable energy. The EEDR and Renewables Focused Resource Portfolio would include the largest amounts of both EEDR programs and renewable energy. Defined model inputs include annual EEDR reductions of 5,900 MW and 14,400 GWh by 2020, 3,500 MW and 12,000 GWh of renewable resources by 2020, 5,000 MW of coal plant layups by 2017, and no new energy storage. In the resulting portfolio, new generation is predominantly by renewables, nuclear and gas-fired plants. A high level of transmission upgrades would be necessary to support new renewable, gas, nuclear and coal-fired capacity, and TVA could also participate in interregional project to transmit renewable energy. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The IRP would serve as a roadmap for the TVA to fulfill its mission of low-cost, reliable power, environment, and economic development. Under all three alternative strategies, the retirement of coal plants would result in long-term reductions in the production of ash and related materials, such as slag, from coal combustion. Emissions of air pollutants and the intensity of greenhouse gas emissions would decrease under all strategies. The decrease in annual direct carbon dioxide emissions and carbon dioxide intensity would be greatest under Strategy E. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under every strategy, operation of generating plants would continue to result in the release of various air and water pollutants, although the installation of additional air emission control systems on coal units is expected to reduce the release of air pollutants. The amount of radioactive waste produced would increase under all strategies and would be somewhat greater for strategies B and C than for strategy E. The volume of water used and water consumed by thermal generation facilities would increase. The extraction of greater amounts of natural gas from shale formations in Texas, Michigan, and Appalachia would require increased hydraulic fracturing with potential impacts to water supplies.

AN - 762465743; 14651 AB - PURPOSE: The adoption of a new Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) to determine how the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) will meet the electrical needs of its customers over the next 20 years is proposed. With a generating capacity of 37,000 megawatts (MWs), TVA is the largest producer of public power in the United States, provides wholesale power to 155 distributors, and directly sells power to 57 large industrial and federal customers. TVA's power system serves nine million people in a seven-state, 80,000 square mile region. When completed, the new IRP will replace the Energy Vision 2020 plan which TVA developed in the mid-1990s. Under the earlier plan, TVA adopted a flexible portfolio of supply-side and demand-side energy resource options to meet the growing demand for electricity in the region, prepare for industry deregulation, and achieve the goals of the TVA Act and other congressional directives. As part of the new planning process, TVA has evaluated the future demand for electricity by its customers, characterized potential supply-side and demand-side options for meeting future demand, and assembled these options into planning strategies and portfolios. TVA then evaluated the strategies for several criteria including capital and fuel costs, risk, reliability, compliance with existing and anticipated future regulations, environmental impacts, and flexibility in adapting to changing future conditions. A final suite of three alternative strategies are evaluated in this draft EIS: 1) the Baseline Plan (No Action Alternative or Strategy B); 2) the Diversity-Focused Resource Portfolio (Strategy C); and 3) Energy Efficiency-Demand Response (EEDR) and Renewables Focused Resource Portfolio (Strategy E). Under all of these strategies, the major fuels used for generating electricity would continue to be coal, enriched uranium, and natural gas, but coal-fired generation would decrease and reliance on renewable and demand-side resources would increase. All strategies would add varying amounts of new nuclear and natural gas-fueled generation. The Diversity Focused Resource Portfolio would include an increase in EEDR programs and renewable energy additions over Strategy B. Defined model inputs include annual EEDR reductions of 3,600 MW and 11,400 gigawatt hours (GWh) by 2020, renewables additions of 2,500 MW and 9,600 GWh by 2020, 3,000 MW of coal plant layups by 2017, and a pumped storage unit. Nuclear, coal, and gas-fired plants are options to meet demand. The Strategy C portfolio contains coal plant layups of almost 3,400 MW under all scenarios and new nuclear units under all but the two scenarios with the lowest load growth. The primary source of new generation to meet future electricity needs is nuclear and gas-fired capacity. Transmission upgrades would be necessary to support new renewable, gas, nuclear and coal-fired capacity, and TVA could also participate in interregional project to transmit renewable energy. The EEDR and Renewables Focused Resource Portfolio would include the largest amounts of both EEDR programs and renewable energy. Defined model inputs include annual EEDR reductions of 5,900 MW and 14,400 GWh by 2020, 3,500 MW and 12,000 GWh of renewable resources by 2020, 5,000 MW of coal plant layups by 2017, and no new energy storage. In the resulting portfolio, new generation is predominantly by renewables, nuclear and gas-fired plants. A high level of transmission upgrades would be necessary to support new renewable, gas, nuclear and coal-fired capacity, and TVA could also participate in interregional project to transmit renewable energy. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The IRP would serve as a roadmap for the TVA to fulfill its mission of low-cost, reliable power, environment, and economic development. Under all three alternative strategies, the retirement of coal plants would result in long-term reductions in the production of ash and related materials, such as slag, from coal combustion. Emissions of air pollutants and the intensity of greenhouse gas emissions would decrease under all strategies. The decrease in annual direct carbon dioxide emissions and carbon dioxide intensity would be greatest under Strategy E. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under every strategy, operation of generating plants would continue to result in the release of various air and water pollutants, although the installation of additional air emission control systems on coal units is expected to reduce the release of air pollutants. The amount of radioactive waste produced would increase under all strategies and would be somewhat greater for strategies B and C than for strategy E. The volume of water used and water consumed by thermal generation facilities would increase. The extraction of greater amounts of natural gas from shale formations in Texas, Michigan, and Appalachia would require increased hydraulic fracturing with potential impacts to water supplies. Continued on-site storage of spent nuclear fuel would require construction of additional dry cask storage facilities. The construction and operation of new generating facilities would result in changes in land use and unavoidably affect resources such as farmland, wildlife LEGAL MANDATES: Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933 (16 U.S.C. 831 et seq.).

AN - 873131887; 14616-4_0003 AB - PURPOSE: A reservoir land management plan for the Douglas and Nolichucky tributary reservoirs located in northeast Tennessee is proposed. The plan would address approximately 3,191 acres of land managed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and would allocate land into broad categories or zones including Project Operations, Sensitive Resource Management, Natural Resource Conservation, Industrial, Developed Recreation, and Shoreline Access. Douglas and Nolichucky reservoirs are located on the French Broad and Nolichucky rivers in Greene, Hamblen, Sevier, Jefferson, and Cocke counties. A total of 580 miles of shoreline surrounds these reservoirs and TVA owns and manages 88 percent of the 19 miles of Nolichucky Reservoir shoreline and 12 percent of the 561 miles of Douglas Reservoir shoreline. Existing land uses around the reservoirs include TVA project operations, recreation, residential, and undeveloped areas. Fifteen high-quality developed recreation facilities such as Kinser Park, Sevier County Park, and Douglas Dam Reservation are provided on TVA-managed land, and include campgrounds, marinas, developed boat launches/ramps, picnic areas, swimming beaches, a fishing pier, and two golf courses. TVA-managed lands around the reservoirs also offer abundant opportunity for dispersed recreation. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A) which would continue the existing method of land use planning, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed land use plan (Alternative B) and the modified land use plan (Alternative C) would honor existing land use commitments and agreements. Under both action alternatives, TVA would continue to conduct environmental reviews to address site-specific issues prior to the approval of any proposed development or activity on public land, future activities and land uses would be guided by the TVA Land Policy, and parcels allocated to Industrial (Zone 5) and Shoreline Access (Zone 7) uses would remain the same. Alternative C, which is the preferred alternative, would provide additional opportunities for the conservation of natural resources with an emphasis on the management of sensitive resources. Alternative C, as compared to Alternative B, represents changes in land use zones for 16 parcels of TVA-managed land. Specifically, seven additional parcels would be placed into Sensitive Resource Management (Zone 3). The other nine parcels would be placed in either Natural Resource Conservation (Zone 4) or Developed Recreation (Zone 6). POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed land allocations would support TVA goals, balance competing demands, respond to the needs of stakeholders, and protect natural and cultural resources. The reservoir planning effort would provide a clear vision for management of TVA public lands and identify lands for specific uses. Under the preferred alternative, all parcels with identified sensitive resources would be allocated to the most protective land use zone. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under any of the alternatives, potential future ground disturbance could impact floodplains, wetlands, and prime farmland. Adoption of the preferred alternative would indirectly impact developed recreation by changing the amount and location of lands available for future development of recreational facilities.

The CMAQ air modeling system (including the Sparse Matrix Operator Kernel Emissions (SMOKE) emissions processing system) currently estimates non-methane volatile organic compound (NMVOC) emissions from biogenic sources, nitrogen oxide (NO sub(x)) emissions from soils, ammonia from animals, several types of particulate and reactive gas emissions from fires, as well as sea salt emissions. However, there are several emission categories that are not commonly treated by the standard CMAQ Model system. Most notable among these are nitrogen oxide emissions from lightning, reduced sulfur emissions from oceans, geothermal features and other continental sources, windblown dust particulate, and reactive chlorine gas emissions linked with sea salt chloride. A review of past emissions modeling work and existing global emissions data bases provides information and data necessary for preparing a more complete natural emissions data base for CMAQ applications. A model-ready natural emissions data base is developed to complement the anthropogenic emissions inventory used by the VISTAS Regional Planning Organization in its work analyzing regional haze based on the year 2002. This new data base covers a modeling domain that includes the continental United States plus large portions of Canada, Mexico and surrounding oceans. Comparing July 2002 source data reveals that natural emissions account for 16% of total gaseous sulfur (sulfur dioxide, dimethylsulfide and hydrogen sulfide), 44% of total NO sub(x), 80% of reactive carbonaceous gases (NMVOCs and carbon monoxide), 28% of ammonia, 96% of total chlorine (hydrochloric acid, nitryl chloride and sea salt chloride), and 84% of fine particles (i.e., those smaller than 2.5 km in size) released into the atmosphere. The seasonality and relative importance of the various natural emissions categories are described.

[Part 2 of 3] T2 - SINGLE NUCLEAR UNIT AT THE BELLEFONTE PLANT SITE, HOLLYWOOD, JACKSON COUNTY, ALABAMA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1974). AN - 756827455; 14330-100179_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The completion or construction and operation of a single 1,100 to 1,260 megawatt (MW) nuclear generating unit at the Bellefonte Nuclear Plant (BLN) site located in Jackson County, Alabama are proposed. The facility is on a 1,600-acre site adjacent to the Tennessee River and the two-unit nuclear generating plant was authorized for construction in 1974. By 1988, when the facilities were nearly fully constructed, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) decided to defer completion in response to lower-than-expected load forecasts for the region. In December 1994, the TVA announced that BLN would not be completed as a nuclear power plant without a partner and put any further construction activities on hold. Demand for electricity in the TVA power service area has grown at the average rate of 2.3 percent per year from 1990 to 2008. Although the 2008- 2009 economic recession has slowed load growth in the short term and adds uncertainty to the forecast of power needs, future power needs are not expected to change dramatically. TVAs medium forecast analysis of future demands for electricity from its power system has identified the need for approximately 2,000 MW of additional baseload capacity in the 2018-2020 time frame. Currently, there are two partially constructed Babcock and Wilcox pressurized light water reactors (B&W) with a rated capacity of about 1,200 MW each at the BLN site. TVA may choose to complete and operate either one of these partially constructed units, or construct and operate a new Westinghouse AP1000 advanced pressurized light water reactor (AP1000) using some of the existing infrastructure. Under any of the proposed alternatives, TVA would use licensing processes that are already underway. TVA currently holds a construction permit for the two B&W units and has applied for a combined (construction and operating) license for two AP1000 units. TVAs current proposal is to complete only one of these four previously proposed units. The considerable work that has been accomplished toward licensing the B&W and AP1000 technology would reduce the time and cost of bringing a single nuclear generating unit at BLN on line. This EIS supplements the original 1974 final EIS for BLN Units 1 and 2 and tiers from TVA's Energy Vision 2020 Integrated Resource Plan. Three generation alternatives and two transmission alternatives are evaluated in this final supplemental EIS. The generation alternatives include: a No Action Alternative (Alternative A); Alternative B, which would complete and operate a B&W pressurized light water reactor; and Alternative C which would complete and operate an AP1000 pressurized light water reactor. Transmission alternatives include a No Action Alternative and an Action Alternative. Under the Action Alternative, the 500-kilovolt (kV) switchyard and 500-kV transmission lines would be reactivated and other transmission lines would be refurbished. Alternative B in conjunction with the Action Alternative for transmission is the preferred option. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Completing a single nuclear unit at the BLN site would meet a substantial portion of TVAs future generating needs and would help meet the agencys goal of having 50 percent of its overall power supply from low or zero carbon-emitting sources by 2020. The single nuclear unit would provide a low-carbon- emitting power source at a significantly lower cost per installed kilowatt than other baseload power options. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Although air quality standards would not be exceeded under any of the alternatives, minor impacts would result from emissions. Noncombustible wastes would be disposed of at nearby municipal landfills. Storm water runoff, leaching from contaminated or disturbed areas, and various construction activities would have minor impacts on surface water. Dredging and towing barges would have adverse impacts to the pink mucket mussel.

AN - 756827422; 14311-100160_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The extension of Pellissippi Parkway (State Route (SR) 162) from its current terminus at SR 33 (Old Knoxville Highway) to US 321/SR 73/Lamar Alexander Parkway in Blount County, Tennessee is proposed. The study area encompasses portions of the cities of Maryville, Alcoa, and Rockford, and the unincorporated Eagleton Village. Blount County is bordered on the north by Knox County, home to the majority of employment in the East Tennessee region. Interstate 40 (I-40) runs through Knox County, and SR 115/US 129 (Alcoa Highway) and SR 33 are major roadways connecting Alcoa and Maryville with Knox County. Blount County is bordered on the east by Sevier County, the fastest growing county in East Tennessee, while Blount County is the region's second fastest growing county. The concept of extending Pellissippi Parkway as a four-lane divided highway has been part of Knoxville regional transportation planning since 1977. Four alternatives, including a No Build Alternative, are analyzed in this draft EIS. Build alternatives A and C would extend Pellissippi Parkway as a new four-lane divided roadway with diamond interchanges at SR 33, SR 35/US 411/SR 35, and SR 73/US 321 and share a common alignment from SR 33 to the vicinity of Brown School Road south of Wildwood Road. Alternative A would be 4.4 miles in length, while Alternative C would be about 4.7 miles in length. The proposed right-of-way for either alignment alternative would be a minimum of 300 feet and would be designed for traffic traveling 60 miles per hour. Build Alternative D would use portions of existing Sam Houston School Road, Peppermint Road, Hitch Road, and Helton Road to construct an improved two-lane roadway with a 50 mile-per-hour design speed. The length of the corridor would be about 5.8 miles. Total estimated costs for alternatives A, C, and D are $96.9 million, $104.6 million, and $59.5 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction would enhance regional transportation system linkages; improve circumferential mobility by providing travel options to the existing radial roadway network; enhance roadway safety; and assist in achieving acceptable traffic flows. Travel time savings over the No Build Alternative are estimated at 11 minutes for alternatives A and C and seven to nine minutes for Alternative D. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of alternatives A and C would do little to improve portions of the local road network with substandard cross sections. Build Alternative A would require eight stream crossings, 17.3 acres of floodplain encroachment, displacement of 10 farm parcels, and displacement of five residences and one business. Build Alternative C would require seven stream crossings, 20.5 acres of floodplain encroachment, displacement of 12 farm parcels, and displacement of 26 residences and two businesses. Build Alternative D would require eight stream crossings, 18.4 acres of floodplain encroachment, and displacement of 24 farm parcels and 21 residences.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - US 127/SR 28 IMPROVEMENTS, FROM I-40 AT CROSSVILLE TO STATE ROUTE 62 AT CLARKRANGE, CUMBERLAND AND FENTRESS COUNTIES, TENNESSEE. AN - 756827286; 14285-100134_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The upgrading of a 14.1-mile section of US 127 (State Route (SR) 28) from Interstate 40 (I-40) in Crossville northward to the intersection of US 127 and SR 62 in Clarkrange, Cumberland and Fentress counties, Tennessee is proposed. US 127 is a major north-south arterial extending from the Georgia state line north through the eastern section of central Tennessee to the Kentucky state line. The study area lacks local and regional access to I-40. The existing US 127 roadway design exhibits numerous deficiencies and capacity problems which have resulted in a high number of crashes along the highway. Recent increases in traffic volume have resulted in a significant decline in level of service, and traffic volumes are anticipated to increases at an even greater rate in the future. Problems moving persons and goods along the corridor have limited local and regional economic growth potentials. The proposed action would upgrade the highway within the study corridor to a four- and five-lane highway. The cross-section for the four-lane roadway would consist of two 12-foot travel lanes in each direction with 12-foot outside shoulders, six-foot inside shoulders, and a 48-foot depressed median within a 250-foot right-of-way. The typical section for the five-lane roadway would consist of two 12-foot travel lanes in each direction, a 12-foot center turn lane, and 12-foot outside shoulders within a 200-foot right-of-way. This final EIS presents the proposed action with three alignment options and a No Action Alternative for comparison. Construction, rights-off-way acquisition, and utilities relocations costs under the preferred alternative are estimated at $241 million, $31.9 million, and $12 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve safety for vehicular travel and pedestrian movements, reduce travel delays for through traffic, enhance regional and local economic development opportunities, and improve transportation linkages in the Upper Cumberland Region of Tennessee. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of 442 acres of new rights-of-way would result in the displacement of 100 residences, 13 businesses, and two community service facilities, as well as 442 acres of farmland, including 104 acres of prime or unique farmland, 4.7 acres of ponds, 2,652 linear feet of perennial stream channel, 6,067 linear feet of intermittent stream channel, 1,836 linear feet of wet weather conveyances, two seeps, two springs, and 4.6 acres of wetlands. The project would include the construction of a bridge across Clear Creek, which is federally designated habitat for the spotfin chub, a federally protected species. Construction workers would encounter 45 hazardous waste sites.

Problems moving persons and goods along the corridor have limited local and regional economic growth potentials. The proposed action would upgrade the highway within the study corridor to a four- and five-lane highway. The cross-section for the four-lane roadway would consist of two 12-foot travel lanes in each direction with 12-foot outside shoulders, six-foot inside shoulders, and a 48-foot depressed median within a 250-foot right-of-way. The typical section for the five-lane roadway would consist of two 12-foot travel lanes in each direction, a 12-foot center turn lane, and 12-foot outside shoulders within a 200-foot right-of-way. This final EIS presents the proposed action with three alignment options and a No Action Alternative for comparison. Construction, rights-off-way acquisition, and utilities relocations costs under the preferred alternative are estimated at $241 million, $31.9 million, and $12 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve safety for vehicular travel and pedestrian movements, reduce travel delays for through traffic, enhance regional and local economic development opportunities, and improve transportation linkages in the Upper Cumberland Region of Tennessee. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of 442 acres of new rights-of-way would result in the displacement of 100 residences, 13 businesses, and two community service facilities, as well as 442 acres of farmland, including 104 acres of prime or unique farmland, 4.7 acres of ponds, 2,652 linear feet of perennial stream channel, 6,067 linear feet of intermittent stream channel, 1,836 linear feet of wet weather conveyances, two seeps, two springs, and 4.6 acres of wetlands. The project would include the construction of a bridge across Clear Creek, which is federally designated habitat for the spotfin chub, a federally protected species. Construction workers would encounter 45 hazardous waste sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

[Part 1 of 2] T2 - DOUGLAS AND NOLICHUCKY TRIBUTARY RESERVOIRS LAND MANAGEMENT PLAN, COCKE, GREENE, HAMBLEN, JEFFERSON, AND SEVIER COUNTIES, TENNESSEE. AN - 756826827; 14221-100067_0001 AB - PURPOSE: A reservoir land management plan for the Douglas and Nolichucky tributary reservoirs located in northeast Tennessee is proposed. The plan would address approximately 3,191 acres of land managed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and would allocate land into broad categories or zones including Project Operations, Sensitive Resource Management, Natural Resource Conservation, Industrial, Developed Recreation, and Shoreline Access. Douglas and Nolichucky reservoirs are located on the French Broad and Nolichucky rivers in Greene, Hamblen, Sevier, Jefferson, and Cocke counties. A total of 580 miles of shoreline surrounds these reservoirs, but the amount of shoreline owned and managed by TVA differs greatly between the two, with 88 percent of the 19 miles of Nolichucky Reservoir shoreline being managed by TVA while only 12 percent of the 561 miles of Douglas Reservoir shoreline are owned by TVA. Existing land uses around the reservoirs include TVA project operations, recreation, residential, and undeveloped areas. Fifteen high-quality developed recreation facilities such as Kinser Park, Sevier County Park, and Douglas Dam Reservation are provided on TVA-managed land, which include campgrounds, marinas, developed boat launches/ramps, picnic areas, swimming beaches, a fishing pier, and two golf courses. TVA-managed lands around the reservoirs also offer abundant opportunity for dispersed recreation. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A) which would continue the existing method of land use planning, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed land use plan (Alternative B) and the modified land use plan (Alternative C), existing land use commitments and agreements would be honored, TVA would continue to conduct environmental reviews to address site-specific issues prior to the approval of any proposed development or activity on public land, future activities and land uses would be guided by the TVA Land Policy, and parcels allocated to Industrial (Zone 5) and Shoreline Access (Zone 7) uses would remain the same. Alternative C, which is the preferred alternative, would provide additional opportunities for the conservation of natural resources with an emphasis on the management of sensitive resources. Alternative C, as compared to Alternative B, represents changes in land use zones for 15 parcels of TVA-managed land. Specifically, six additional parcels would be placed into Sensitive Resource Management (Zone 3). The other nine parcels would be placed in either Natural Resource Conservation (Zone 4) or Developed Recreation (Zone 6). POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed land allocations would support TVA goals, balance competing demands, respond to the needs of stakeholders, and protect natural and cultural resources. The reservoir planning effort would provide a clear vision of how TVA will manage TVA public lands and identify lands for specific uses. Under the preferred alternative, all parcels with identified sensitive resources would be allocated to the most protective land use zone. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under any of the alternatives, potential future ground disturbance could impact floodplains, wetlands, and prime farmland. Adoption of the preferred alternative would indirectly impact developed recreation by changing the amount and location of lands available for future development of recreational facilities.

AN - 756826645; 14222-100068_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a 25-year reservoir land management plan for seven northeastern tributary reservoirs (NTRs) located in northeast Tennessee and southwest Virginia is proposed. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) manages its public lands to protect the integrated operation of the TVA reservoir and power systems, to provide for appropriate public use and enjoyment of the reservoir system, and to provide continuing economic growth in the Tennessee Valley. The Northeastern Tributary Reservoirs Land Management Plan (NTRLMP) would plan all public lands under TVA stewardship around Beaver Creek, Clear Creek, Boone, Fort Patrick Henry, South Holston, Watauga, and Wilbur reservoirs, which totals about 4,933 acres. The NTRLMP would guide land use approvals, private water use facility permitting, and resource management decisions. Three alternatives for managing public land around the seven NTRs are considered in this final EIS. Under the No Action Alternative (Alternative A), the existing method of land use planning would continue, while the two action alternatives would apply a system of allocation zones that would be based upon past TVA land plans and policies. Under all the alternatives, TVA would continue to conduct environmental reviews prior to approval of any proposed development or activity on public land and TVA land use allocations would not supersede deeded land rights or land ownership. Under Alternative B, which is the proposed land use alternative, the 4,679 acres previously committed to a specific use would be allocated to land use zones consistent with that specific land use. The remaining uncommitted 254 acres (34 parcels) would be allocated to Zone 4 (Natural Resource Conservation) or Zone 6 (Developed Recreation). Overall, about 48 percent of the NTRs lands would be allocated to Natural Resource Conservation or Sensitive Resource Management (Zone 3). About 31 percent of NTRs land would be allocated to Project Operations (Zone 2), and the remainder would be allocated to Developed Recreation, Shoreline Access (Zone 7), or Industrial (Zone 5) uses. Under Alternative C, the modified proposed land use alternative and the preferred alternative, the uncommitted 254 acres would be allocated to Zones 3, 4, or 6. Alternative C, as compared to Alternative B, represents changes in land use for 19 parcels. Because the total acreage of those parcels is relatively small (238 acres), the percentage of land allocated to Zones 3, 4, and 6 is nearly the same under both action alternatives. Under Alternative C, parcels on Fort Patrick Henry, South Holston, and Watauga reservoirs that contain rare plant communities, cultural resources, and high-quality wetlands would be allocated to Zone 3, which is the most protective of sensitive resources. Those parcels would be allocated to Zone 4 under Alternative B. Additionally, six parcels on South Holston and Watauga reservoirs would be allocated to Zone 6 under Alternative C rather than Zone 4 under Alternative B, which would provide additional opportunities for recreation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Over the long-term, allocation of lands to Zones 3 and 4, which limits ground disturbance, vegetation removal, and other development, would likely benefit terrestrial wildlife communities in the South Fork Holston River, and Watauga River watersheds. Implementation of the proposed NTRLMP under Alternatives B or C would be protective of scenic areas and would reduce recreational and industrial development along the shoreline. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The potential for future ground disturbance and development, and for impacts to water quality and aquatic life, would be greatest under Alternative A. The extent of impacts would be dependent on the specifics of future development. Adoption of Alternative A would result in minor negative effects to dispersed recreation. Selection of Alternative B or C would not directly affect developed recreation, but would result in minor indirect effects due to lost opportunity for future development of recreational facilities.

AN - 756826459; 14221-100067_0002 AB - PURPOSE: A reservoir land management plan for the Douglas and Nolichucky tributary reservoirs located in northeast Tennessee is proposed. The plan would address approximately 3,191 acres of land managed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and would allocate land into broad categories or zones including Project Operations, Sensitive Resource Management, Natural Resource Conservation, Industrial, Developed Recreation, and Shoreline Access. Douglas and Nolichucky reservoirs are located on the French Broad and Nolichucky rivers in Greene, Hamblen, Sevier, Jefferson, and Cocke counties. A total of 580 miles of shoreline surrounds these reservoirs, but the amount of shoreline owned and managed by TVA differs greatly between the two, with 88 percent of the 19 miles of Nolichucky Reservoir shoreline being managed by TVA while only 12 percent of the 561 miles of Douglas Reservoir shoreline are owned by TVA. Existing land uses around the reservoirs include TVA project operations, recreation, residential, and undeveloped areas. Fifteen high-quality developed recreation facilities such as Kinser Park, Sevier County Park, and Douglas Dam Reservation are provided on TVA-managed land, which include campgrounds, marinas, developed boat launches/ramps, picnic areas, swimming beaches, a fishing pier, and two golf courses. TVA-managed lands around the reservoirs also offer abundant opportunity for dispersed recreation. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A) which would continue the existing method of land use planning, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed land use plan (Alternative B) and the modified land use plan (Alternative C), existing land use commitments and agreements would be honored, TVA would continue to conduct environmental reviews to address site-specific issues prior to the approval of any proposed development or activity on public land, future activities and land uses would be guided by the TVA Land Policy, and parcels allocated to Industrial (Zone 5) and Shoreline Access (Zone 7) uses would remain the same. Alternative C, which is the preferred alternative, would provide additional opportunities for the conservation of natural resources with an emphasis on the management of sensitive resources. Alternative C, as compared to Alternative B, represents changes in land use zones for 15 parcels of TVA-managed land. Specifically, six additional parcels would be placed into Sensitive Resource Management (Zone 3). The other nine parcels would be placed in either Natural Resource Conservation (Zone 4) or Developed Recreation (Zone 6). POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed land allocations would support TVA goals, balance competing demands, respond to the needs of stakeholders, and protect natural and cultural resources. The reservoir planning effort would provide a clear vision of how TVA will manage TVA public lands and identify lands for specific uses. Under the preferred alternative, all parcels with identified sensitive resources would be allocated to the most protective land use zone. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under any of the alternatives, potential future ground disturbance could impact floodplains, wetlands, and prime farmland. Adoption of the preferred alternative would indirectly impact developed recreation by changing the amount and location of lands available for future development of recreational facilities.

AN - 15226347; 14222 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a 25-year reservoir land management plan for seven northeastern tributary reservoirs (NTRs) located in northeast Tennessee and southwest Virginia is proposed. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) manages its public lands to protect the integrated operation of the TVA reservoir and power systems, to provide for appropriate public use and enjoyment of the reservoir system, and to provide continuing economic growth in the Tennessee Valley. The Northeastern Tributary Reservoirs Land Management Plan (NTRLMP) would plan all public lands under TVA stewardship around Beaver Creek, Clear Creek, Boone, Fort Patrick Henry, South Holston, Watauga, and Wilbur reservoirs, which totals about 4,933 acres. The NTRLMP would guide land use approvals, private water use facility permitting, and resource management decisions. Three alternatives for managing public land around the seven NTRs are considered in this final EIS. Under the No Action Alternative (Alternative A), the existing method of land use planning would continue, while the two action alternatives would apply a system of allocation zones that would be based upon past TVA land plans and policies. Under all the alternatives, TVA would continue to conduct environmental reviews prior to approval of any proposed development or activity on public land and TVA land use allocations would not supersede deeded land rights or land ownership. Under Alternative B, which is the proposed land use alternative, the 4,679 acres previously committed to a specific use would be allocated to land use zones consistent with that specific land use. The remaining uncommitted 254 acres (34 parcels) would be allocated to Zone 4 (Natural Resource Conservation) or Zone 6 (Developed Recreation). Overall, about 48 percent of the NTRs lands would be allocated to Natural Resource Conservation or Sensitive Resource Management (Zone 3). About 31 percent of NTRs land would be allocated to Project Operations (Zone 2), and the remainder would be allocated to Developed Recreation, Shoreline Access (Zone 7), or Industrial (Zone 5) uses. Under Alternative C, the modified proposed land use alternative and the preferred alternative, the uncommitted 254 acres would be allocated to Zones 3, 4, or 6. Alternative C, as compared to Alternative B, represents changes in land use for 19 parcels. Because the total acreage of those parcels is relatively small (238 acres), the percentage of land allocated to Zones 3, 4, and 6 is nearly the same under both action alternatives. Under Alternative C, parcels on Fort Patrick Henry, South Holston, and Watauga reservoirs that contain rare plant communities, cultural resources, and high-quality wetlands would be allocated to Zone 3, which is the most protective of sensitive resources. Those parcels would be allocated to Zone 4 under Alternative B. Additionally, six parcels on South Holston and Watauga reservoirs would be allocated to Zone 6 under Alternative C rather than Zone 4 under Alternative B, which would provide additional opportunities for recreation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Over the long-term, allocation of lands to Zones 3 and 4, which limits ground disturbance, vegetation removal, and other development, would likely benefit terrestrial wildlife communities in the South Fork Holston River, and Watauga River watersheds. Implementation of the proposed NTRLMP under Alternatives B or C would be protective of scenic areas and would reduce recreational and industrial development along the shoreline. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The potential for future ground disturbance and development, and for impacts to water quality and aquatic life, would be greatest under Alternative A. The extent of impacts would be dependent on the specifics of future development. Adoption of Alternative A would result in minor negative effects to dispersed recreation. Selection of Alternative B or C would not directly affect developed recreation, but would result in minor indirect effects due to lost opportunity for future development of recreational facilities.

The majority of these species occur in the southeastern United States. North Carolina supports a substantial proportion of that diversity with 41 described indigenous crayfish species, 12 of which are endemic, and 3 introduced species, many of which are of significant conservation interest. In the late 1990s, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) began a focused effort to inventory and establish baselines for monitoring populations of both native stream-dwelling and burrowing crayfishes and invasive non-native species. During 2004-2005, that effort was completed for the Hiwassee, Little Tennessee, Savannah, French Broad, Watauga, New, Catawba, and Broad river basins in western North Carolina. Twenty-four stream-dwelling species and 5 burrowing species were collected from 199 stream sites and 58 burrowing sites. New records for many species, including a new river basin record for Cambarus reduncus (Sickle Crayfish), and new county records for C. howardi (Chattahoochee Crayfish), C. dubius (Upland Burrowing Crayfish), and C. nodosus (Knotty Burrowing Crayfish), were determined during these surveys. Small range expansions were documented for Orconectes virilis (Virile Crayfish; not native to North Carolina) and for Procambarus acutus (White River Crawfish; introduced outside its native range in North Carolina). We failed to detect the non-native O. rusticus (Rusty Crayfish), and P. clarkii (Red Swamp Crawfish) at or near previously reported localities. Observations of life-history traits, such as reproductive condition, fecundity, and habitat use were recorded. Specimens were also provided to crayfish taxonomists to help resolve certain taxonomic problems and to assist in the completion of new species descriptions. Data collected during this and previous NCWRC inventories, as well as data obtained from the North Carolina State Museum of Natural Sciences, North Carolina Division of Water Quality, Ohio State University, and other cooperators, were incorporated into a detailed GIS database. This database was used to identify data gaps to guide sampling efforts and to assess species and population status. In the future, this GIS database should provide a useful tool in monitoring the status of native crayfish populations and the spread of invasive species, and informing conservation and management decision making.

AN - 756826608; 14089-090385_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The completion or construction and operation of a single 1,100 to 1,200 megawatt (MW) nuclear generating unit at the Bellefonte Nuclear Plant (BLN) site located in Jackson County, Alabama are proposed. The facility is on a 1,600-acre site adjacent to the Tennessee River and the two-unit nuclear generating plant was authorized for construction in 1974. By 1988, when the facilities were nearly fully constructed, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) decided to defer completion in response to lower-than-expected load forecasts for the region. In December 1994, the TVA announced that BLN would not be completed as a nuclear power plant without a partner and put any further construction activities on hold. Demand for electricity in the TVA power service area has grown at the average rate of 2.3 percent per year from 1990 to 2008. Although the 2008- 2009 economic recession has slowed load growth in the short term and adds uncertainty to the forecast of power needs, future power needs are not expected to change dramatically. TVAs medium forecast analysis of future demands for electricity from its power system has identified the need for approximately 2,000 megawatts (MW) of additional baseload capacity in the 2018-2020 timeframe. Currently, there are two partially constructed Babcock and Wilcox pressurized light water reactors (B&W) with a rated capacity of about 1,200 MW each at the BLN site. TVA may choose to complete and operate either one of these partially constructed units, or construct and operate a new Westinghouse AP1000 advanced pressurized light water reactor (AP1000) using some of the existing infrastructure. Under any of the proposed alternatives, TVA would use licensing processes that are already underway. TVA currently holds a construction permit for the two B&W units and has applied for a combined (construction and operating) license for two AP1000 units. TVAs current proposal is to complete only one of these four previously proposed units. The considerable work that has been accomplished toward licensing the B&W and AP1000 technology would reduce the time and cost of bringing a single nuclear generating unit at BLN on line. This EIS supplements the original 1974 final EIS for BLN Units 1 and 2 and tiers from TVA's Energy Vision 2020 Integrated Resource Plan. Three generation alternatives and two transmission alternatives are evaluated in this draft supplemental EIS. The generation alternatives include: a No Action Alternative (Alternative A); Alternative B, which would complete and operate a B&W pressurized light water reactor; and Alternative C which would complete and operate an AP1000 pressurized light water reactor. Transmission alternatives include a No Action Alternative and an Action Alternative. Under the Action Alternative, the 500-kiloVolt (kV) switchyard and 500-kV transmission lines would be reactivated and other transmission lines would be refurbished. if either Alternative B or Alternative C were selected and implemented for the purpose of nuclear power generation, the Action Alternative for transmission would also be selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Completing a single nuclear unit at the BLN site would meet a substantial portion of TVAs future generating needs and would help meet the agencys goal of having 50 percent of its overall power supply from low or zero carbon-emitting sources by 2020. The single nuclear unit would provide a low-carbon- emitting power source at a significantly lower cost per installed kilowatt than other baseload power options. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Although air quality standards would not be exceeded under any of the alternatives, minor impacts would result from emissions. Noncombustible wastes would be disposed of at nearby municipal landfills. Storm water runoff, leaching from contaminated or disturbed areas, and various construction activities would have minor impacts on surface water. Dredging and towing barges would have adverse impacts to the pink mucket and sheepnose mussel.

AN - 756826888; 14050-090346_0005 AB - PURPOSE: A reservoir land management plan for seven northeastern tributary reservoirs (NTRs) located in northeast Tennessee and southwest Virginia is proposed. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) manages its public lands to protect the integrated operation of the TVA reservoir and power systems, to provide for appropriate public use and enjoyment of the reservoir system, and to provide continuing economic growth in the Tennessee Valley. The Northeastern Tributary Reservoirs Land Management Plan (NTRLMP) would plan all public lands under TVA stewardship around Beaver Creek, Clear Creek, Boone, Fort Patrick Henry, South Holston, Watauga, and Wilbur reservoirs, which totals about 4,933 acres. The NTRLMP would be designed to guide land use approvals, private water use facility permitting, and resource management decisions. Three alternatives for managing public land around the seven NTRs are considered in this draft EIS. Under the No Action Alternative, the existing method of land use planning would continue, while the two action alternatives would apply a system of allocation zones that would be based upon past TVA land plans and policies. Under all the alternatives, TVA would continue to conduct environmental reviews prior to approval of any proposed development or activity on public land and TVA land use allocations would not supersede deeded landrights or land ownership. Under Alternative B, which is the proposed land use alternative, the 4,679 acres previously committed to a specific use would be allocated to land use zones consistent with that specific land use. The remaining uncommitted 254 acres (34 parcels) would be allocated to Zone 4 (Natural Resource Conservation) or Zone 6 (Developed Recreation). Overall, about 48 percent of NTRs land would be allocated to Natural Resource Conservation or Sensitive Resource Management (Zone 3). About 31 percent of NTRs land would be allocated to Project Operations (Zone 2), and the remainder would be allocated to Developed Recreation, Shoreline Access (Zone 7), or Industrial (Zone 5) uses. Under Alternative C, the modified proposed land use alternative and the preferred alternative, the uncommitted 254 acres would be allocated to Zones 3, 4, or 6. Alternative C, as compared to Alternative B, represents changes in land use for 19 parcels. Because the total acreage of those parcels is relatively small (238 acres), the percentage of land allocated to Zones 3, 4, and 6 is nearly the same under both action alternatives. Under Alternative C, parcels on Fort Patrick Henry, South Holston, and Watauga reservoirs that contain rare plant communities, cultural resources, and high-quality wetlands would be allocated to Zone 3, which is the most protective of sensitive resources. Those parcels would be allocated to Zone 4 under Alternative B. Additionally, six parcels on South Holston and Watauga reservoirs would be allocated to Zone 6 under Alternative C rather than Zone 4 under Alternative B, which would provide additional opportunities for recreation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Over the long-term, allocation of lands to Zones 3 and 4, which limits ground disturbance, vegetation removal, and other development, would likely benefit terrestrial wildlife communities in the South Fork Holston River, and Watauga River watersheds. Implementation of the proposed NTRLMP under Alternative B or C would be protective of scenic areas and would reduce recreational and industrial development along the shoreline. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The potential for future ground disturbance and development, and for impacts to water quality and aquatic life, would be greatest under Alternative A. The extent of impacts would be dependent on the specifics of future development. Adoption of Alternative A would result in minor negative effects to dispersed recreation. Selection of Alternative B or C would not directly affect developed recreation, but would result in minor indirect effects due to lost opportunity for future development of recreational facilities.

Additionally, six parcels on South Holston and Watauga reservoirs would be allocated to Zone 6 under Alternative C rather than Zone 4 under Alternative B, which would provide additional opportunities for recreation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Over the long-term, allocation of lands to Zones 3 and 4, which limits ground disturbance, vegetation removal, and other development, would likely benefit terrestrial wildlife communities in the South Fork Holston River, and Watauga River watersheds. Implementation of the proposed NTRLMP under Alternative B or C would be protective of scenic areas and would reduce recreational and industrial development along the shoreline. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The potential for future ground disturbance and development, and for impacts to water quality and aquatic life, would be greatest under Alternative A. The extent of impacts would be dependent on the specifics of future development. Adoption of Alternative A would result in minor negative effects to dispersed recreation. Selection of Alternative B or C would not directly affect developed recreation, but would result in minor indirect effects due to lost opportunity for future development of recreational facilities.

[Part 2 of 6] T2 - NORTHEASTERN TRIBUTARY RESERVOIRS LAND MANAGEMENT PLAN, BEAVER CREEK, CLEAR CREEK, BOONE, FORT PATRICK HENRY, SOUTH HOLSTON, WATAUGA, AND WILBUR RESERVOIRS, CARTER, JOHNSON, SULLIVAN, AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, TENNESSEE, AND WASHINGTON COUNTY, VIRGINIA. AN - 756826390; 14050-090346_0002 AB - PURPOSE: A reservoir land management plan for seven northeastern tributary reservoirs (NTRs) located in northeast Tennessee and southwest Virginia is proposed. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) manages its public lands to protect the integrated operation of the TVA reservoir and power systems, to provide for appropriate public use and enjoyment of the reservoir system, and to provide continuing economic growth in the Tennessee Valley. The Northeastern Tributary Reservoirs Land Management Plan (NTRLMP) would plan all public lands under TVA stewardship around Beaver Creek, Clear Creek, Boone, Fort Patrick Henry, South Holston, Watauga, and Wilbur reservoirs, which totals about 4,933 acres. The NTRLMP would be designed to guide land use approvals, private water use facility permitting, and resource management decisions. Three alternatives for managing public land around the seven NTRs are considered in this draft EIS. Under the No Action Alternative, the existing method of land use planning would continue, while the two action alternatives would apply a system of allocation zones that would be based upon past TVA land plans and policies. Under all the alternatives, TVA would continue to conduct environmental reviews prior to approval of any proposed development or activity on public land and TVA land use allocations would not supersede deeded landrights or land ownership. Under Alternative B, which is the proposed land use alternative, the 4,679 acres previously committed to a specific use would be allocated to land use zones consistent with that specific land use. The remaining uncommitted 254 acres (34 parcels) would be allocated to Zone 4 (Natural Resource Conservation) or Zone 6 (Developed Recreation). Overall, about 48 percent of NTRs land would be allocated to Natural Resource Conservation or Sensitive Resource Management (Zone 3). About 31 percent of NTRs land would be allocated to Project Operations (Zone 2), and the remainder would be allocated to Developed Recreation, Shoreline Access (Zone 7), or Industrial (Zone 5) uses. Under Alternative C, the modified proposed land use alternative and the preferred alternative, the uncommitted 254 acres would be allocated to Zones 3, 4, or 6. Alternative C, as compared to Alternative B, represents changes in land use for 19 parcels. Because the total acreage of those parcels is relatively small (238 acres), the percentage of land allocated to Zones 3, 4, and 6 is nearly the same under both action alternatives. Under Alternative C, parcels on Fort Patrick Henry, South Holston, and Watauga reservoirs that contain rare plant communities, cultural resources, and high-quality wetlands would be allocated to Zone 3, which is the most protective of sensitive resources. Those parcels would be allocated to Zone 4 under Alternative B. Additionally, six parcels on South Holston and Watauga reservoirs would be allocated to Zone 6 under Alternative C rather than Zone 4 under Alternative B, which would provide additional opportunities for recreation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Over the long-term, allocation of lands to Zones 3 and 4, which limits ground disturbance, vegetation removal, and other development, would likely benefit terrestrial wildlife communities in the South Fork Holston River, and Watauga River watersheds. Implementation of the proposed NTRLMP under Alternative B or C would be protective of scenic areas and would reduce recreational and industrial development along the shoreline. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The potential for future ground disturbance and development, and for impacts to water quality and aquatic life, would be greatest under Alternative A. The extent of impacts would be dependent on the specifics of future development. Adoption of Alternative A would result in minor negative effects to dispersed recreation. Selection of Alternative B or C would not directly affect developed recreation, but would result in minor indirect effects due to lost opportunity for future development of recreational facilities.

This paper reviews selected successes in using ozone UV and advanced oxidation to enhance food safety and reduce energy costs in the Agri-Food industry. Included is a preliminary case study of utilizing ozone and chlorination in a FTNON vegetable washing system. Vegetable flotation washing systems such as the FTNON equipment produced by Noord-Oost in the Netherlands have the potential to vigorously wash sand as well as floating particulate from vegetables and fruits. With minor modifications these machines can be adapted to utilize combinations of ozone, UV and chlorination. Preliminary trials indicate plate counts are lowered with the combination treatment. Future data will need to be collected to determine the levels of chlorination required to ensure residual microbial protection without detracting from product taste and quality. When developed, these systems have the potential to enhance food safety, reduce water use and wastewater discharge amounts, reduce electrical demand and increase product shelf life.

AN - 756826261; 13973-090269_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a 10-year general management plan for 6,220 acres of land associated with nine reservoirs administered by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) in northeast Georgia, southwest North Carolina, and southeastern Tennessee is proposed. The impoundment cantonments affected by this proposal include those associated with the Chatuge, Hiwassee, Blue Ridge, Nottely, Apalachia, Fontana, and Ocoees 1, 2, and 3 reservoirs. The TVA manages its lands to protect the integrated operation of the TVA reservoir and power systems, to provide for appropriate public use and enjoyment of the reservoir system, and to provide for continuing economic growth in the Tennessee Valley. About 4,592 acres (75 percent) within the TVA lands in the areas of concern are subject to management plans based on a forecast system adopted in the 1960s; the remaining lands (230 parcels covering 1,630 acres) have never fallen under a general management plan. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would perpetuate the current management regime, are considered in this final EIS. Under the No Action Alternative, the TVA would continue to use the existing forecast system to manage 4,592 acres of its mountain reservoir lands. The action alternatives would allocate TVA reservoir shorelands using seven allocation zones, for the following land uses: non-TVA uses, project operations, sensitive resource management, natural resource conservation, industrial uses, developed recreation, and shoreline access. Under the Proposed Land Use Plan (Alternative B), the zone allocations would generally be consistent with existing land uses. Under the Proposed Modified Land Use Plan (Alternative C), the zone allocations would include 101 acres within three parcels along the shoreline of the Chatuge Reservoir and 4.4 acres within two parcels along the shoreline of the Hiwassee Reservoir that would be allocated to more development-oriented uses, both recreational and industrial, than under the Proposed Land Use Plan Alternative. The preferred alternative is the Blended Alternative (Alternative D) which was developed in response to public input on the draft EIS and is a combination of Alternatives B and C. Under any alternative, the uses of TVA lands committed through land use agreements with other parties would not be altered. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The 10-year management plan would provide for a fair and ecologically acceptable distribution of shoreland uses associated with the nine reservoirs. Adequate levels of recreational and industrial use capacity would be supported. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Land uses of the majority of the mountain reservoir lands would not change under any of the alternatives. Increased industrial development under alternatives A and C and recreational developments under Alternative C on the Chatuge Reservoir and Hiwassee Reservoir parcels would result in displacement of soils and destruction of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat and increase erosion and sedimentation of the reservoirs. All recreational and industrial uses of the shoreline would exacerbate shoreline erosion and release pollutants into the water column. Commitments to industrial and some types of recreational developments would decrease the productivity of the affected lands for agricultural, forest, wildlife, and other resource management purposes, with alternatives A and C doing more damage than Alternative B.

AN - 36347254; 13973 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a 10-year general management plan for 6,220 acres of land associated with nine reservoirs administered by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) in northeast Georgia, southwest North Carolina, and southeastern Tennessee is proposed. The impoundment cantonments affected by this proposal include those associated with the Chatuge, Hiwassee, Blue Ridge, Nottely, Apalachia, Fontana, and Ocoees 1, 2, and 3 reservoirs. The TVA manages its lands to protect the integrated operation of the TVA reservoir and power systems, to provide for appropriate public use and enjoyment of the reservoir system, and to provide for continuing economic growth in the Tennessee Valley. About 4,592 acres (75 percent) within the TVA lands in the areas of concern are subject to management plans based on a forecast system adopted in the 1960s; the remaining lands (230 parcels covering 1,630 acres) have never fallen under a general management plan. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would perpetuate the current management regime, are considered in this final EIS. Under the No Action Alternative, the TVA would continue to use the existing forecast system to manage 4,592 acres of its mountain reservoir lands. The action alternatives would allocate TVA reservoir shorelands using seven allocation zones, for the following land uses: non-TVA uses, project operations, sensitive resource management, natural resource conservation, industrial uses, developed recreation, and shoreline access. Under the Proposed Land Use Plan (Alternative B), the zone allocations would generally be consistent with existing land uses. Under the Proposed Modified Land Use Plan (Alternative C), the zone allocations would include 101 acres within three parcels along the shoreline of the Chatuge Reservoir and 4.4 acres within two parcels along the shoreline of the Hiwassee Reservoir that would be allocated to more development-oriented uses, both recreational and industrial, than under the Proposed Land Use Plan Alternative. The preferred alternative is the Blended Alternative (Alternative D) which was developed in response to public input on the draft EIS and is a combination of Alternatives B and C. Under any alternative, the uses of TVA lands committed through land use agreements with other parties would not be altered. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The 10-year management plan would provide for a fair and ecologically acceptable distribution of shoreland uses associated with the nine reservoirs. Adequate levels of recreational and industrial use capacity would be supported. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Land uses of the majority of the mountain reservoir lands would not change under any of the alternatives. Increased industrial development under alternatives A and C and recreational developments under Alternative C on the Chatuge Reservoir and Hiwassee Reservoir parcels would result in displacement of soils and destruction of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat and increase erosion and sedimentation of the reservoirs. All recreational and industrial uses of the shoreline would exacerbate shoreline erosion and release pollutants into the water column. Commitments to industrial and some types of recreational developments would decrease the productivity of the affected lands for agricultural, forest, wildlife, and other resource management purposes, with alternatives A and C doing more damage than Alternative B.

We report results from examining hourly speciated fine particle data for evidence of ambient aerosol acidity-catalyzed SOA formation, as indicated by larger increases in the concentrations of organic aerosol mass occurring on days and in locations where more acidic aerosol (lower NH sub(4) super(+)/SO sub(4) super(=) molar ratios) exists. Data sets from the southeastern U.S. were examined for which hourly acidity of PM sub(2) sub(.) sub(5) aerosols could be estimated, and for which hourly organic carbon (OC) content had been measured simultaneously. Within-day organic aerosol changes during selected periods were statistically related to concurrent aerosol acidity levels estimated from nitrate-corrected ammonium-to-sulfate ratios. Data from the Look Rock, TN, TVA/IMPROVE site for mid-July to mid-August 2004 showed average compositions frequently as acidic as NH sub(4)HSO sub(4), however, no apparent increases in OC levels with increasing aerosol acidity were observed, even when [OC] changes were compared with time-delayed aerosol acidity estimates. SEARCH network data (2003-2004) for rural Centreville, AL (CTR) and Yorkville, GA (YRK) sites were also examined. Warm-season acidity levels were higher at CTR than at YRK, and daytime levels exceeded those at night at both sites. At the YRK site no consistent positive correlations were found between changes in OC or TC levels and aerosol acidity, even with time lags up to 6 h. Aerosol acidity at this site, however, is relatively low due to nearby agricultural sources of NH sub(3). In contrast, during selected periods from April to October 2004, at CTR, 6-h lagged OC changes were weakly correlated with daytime, nitrate-corrected NH sub(4) super(+)/SO sub(4) super(=) molar ratios, but distinguishing this apparent relationship from meteorological effects on measured OC levels is challenging.

A coarse (36 km) model grid was expected to provide relatively poor performance for ozone and comparatively better performance for fine particles, especially the more regional sulfate and carbonaceous aerosols. However, results were different from this expectation. Modeling showed significant skill for ozone at several locations but very little skill for particulate species. Modeling did poorly identifying surface wind directions associated with the highest and lowest pollutant exposures at most sites, although results varied widely by location. Model skill appeared to be better for ozone when spatial-temporal (S-T) patterns were examined, due in part to the ability of the model to reproduce much of the temporal variance associated with the diurnal photochemical cycle. At some sites the modeling even performed well in replicating the directional variability of hourly ozone despite relatively low spatial resolution. MM5-CMAQ spatial (directional) representation of 24-h-average particulate data was not good in most cases, but model skill improved somewhat when hourly data were examined. Modeling exhibited skill for sulfate at only one of nine sites using 24-h data averaged by daily resultant wind direction, at two of six sites when hourly data were averaged by direction, and at four of six sites when the combined spatial and temporal variance of sulfate was examined. Results were generally poorer for total carbon aerosol mass and total mass of particulate matter with diameter of less than 2.5 km (PM sub(2.5)). The primary result of this study is that an S-T analysis of pollutant patterns reveals model performance insights that cannot be realized by only examining model error statistics as is typically done for regulatory applications. Use of this S-T analysis technique is recommended for better understanding model performance during longer simulation periods, especially when using grids of finer spatial resolution for applications supporting local air quality management studies. Of course, using this approach will require measuring semicontinuous fine particle data at more sites and for longer periods.

AN - 756825928; 13774-090041_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the 1988 Land Management Plan for the Watts Bar Reservoir in Loudon, Meigs, Rhea, and Roane counties, Tennessee is proposed. The plan addresses 16,220 acres of public land administered by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). The Watts Bar Reservoir, which is part of the Watts Bar Project, is a multipurpose reservoir operated by TVA for navigation, flood control, power production, recreation, and economic development. The reservoir extends 72.4 miles up the Tennessee River to Fort Loudon Dam and 62.5 miles to Melton Hill Dam on the Clinch River. It also inundated portions of the Emory and Little Emory rivers. The impoundment has a shoreline length of 721 miles. The new land management plan would guide land use approvals, private water use facility permitting, and resource management decisions. Land allocation categories would include project operations, sensitive resource management, natural resource conservation, industrial, developed recreation, and shoreline access. Three Alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A) which would continue the application of the 1988 management plan, are considered in this final EIS. Alternatives B and C would allocate additional public lands on the reservoir that were not previously allocated in the 1988 plan. Alternative B would update the plan to provide for a stronger emphasis on economic development and recreation. TVA would enhance economic and recreation potential by allocating 357 acres for industrial use and 1,552 acres to developed recreation totaling about 12% of TVA-owned lands on Watts Bar Reservoir. Approximately 7,600 acres of land would be allocated for sensitive and natural resource use. Alternative C would update the plan to provide a stronger emphasis on natural resource conservation and informal recreation activities. TVA has selected Alternative B as the preferred alternative providing suitable opportunities for economic development and conservation of natural resources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide for a systematic update of land use planning to evaluate and identify the most suitable uses of public land under TVA stewardship. The integrated resource management plan resulting from this process would allow for management of multiple public uses and resources on lands allocated for project uses. Under Alternative C, the greatest extent of land would be allocated for natural resource conservation. This alternative would provide the greatest protection for threatened and endangered species, with no impacts to sensitive plants and beneficial impacts for sensitive terrestrial and aquatic animals. Water quality would improve. Alternative C would also involve complete implementation of the integrated resource management plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Future residential, industrial, and recreational developments on property within or adjacent to the TVA boundary could degrade water quality in the reservoir and downstream reaches of the affected rivers. Up to 299 acres of prime farmland could be converted to other uses. Under Alternative B, there would be potential for habitat alteration of up to 1,100 acres from future industrial use and eventual loss of 2,700 acres of high-quality habitat from future industrial use and developed recreation use. Development at the Clinch River Breeder Site could result in impacts to the Grassy Creek Habitat Protection Area. Informal recreation opportunities would be lost at development sites. Alternative C would result in the conversion of 77 acres of public land to private economic development uses. Both alternatives would have minimal impacts to a marina due to development of a barge terminal, and both would result in some degradation of the visual aesthetics of the shoreline.

The Watts Bar Reservoir, which is part of the Watts Bar Project, is a multipurpose reservoir operated by TVA for navigation, flood control, power production, recreation, and economic development. The reservoir extends 72.4 miles up the Tennessee River to Fort Loudon Dam and 62.5 miles to Melton Hill Dam on the Clinch River. It also inundated portions of the Emory and Little Emory rivers. The impoundment has a shoreline length of 721 miles. The new land management plan would guide land use approvals, private water use facility permitting, and resource management decisions. Land allocation categories would include project operations, sensitive resource management, natural resource conservation, industrial, developed recreation, and shoreline access. Three Alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A) which would continue the application of the 1988 management plan, are considered in this final EIS. Alternatives B and C would allocate additional public lands on the reservoir that were not previously allocated in the 1988 plan. Alternative B would update the plan to provide for a stronger emphasis on economic development and recreation. TVA would enhance economic and recreation potential by allocating 357 acres for industrial use and 1,552 acres to developed recreation totaling about 12% of TVA-owned lands on Watts Bar Reservoir. Approximately 7,600 acres of land would be allocated for sensitive and natural resource use. Alternative C would update the plan to provide a stronger emphasis on natural resource conservation and informal recreation activities. TVA has selected Alternative B as the preferred alternative providing suitable opportunities for economic development and conservation of natural resources. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide for a systematic update of land use planning to evaluate and identify the most suitable uses of public land under TVA stewardship. The integrated resource management plan resulting from this process would allow for management of multiple public uses and resources on lands allocated for project uses. Under Alternative C, the greatest extent of land would be allocated for natural resource conservation. This alternative would provide the greatest protection for threatened and endangered species, with no impacts to sensitive plants and beneficial impacts for sensitive terrestrial and aquatic animals. Water quality would improve. Alternative C would also involve complete implementation of the integrated resource management plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Future residential, industrial, and recreational developments on property within or adjacent to the TVA boundary could degrade water quality in the reservoir and downstream reaches of the affected rivers. Up to 299 acres of prime farmland could be converted to other uses. Under Alternative B, there would be potential for habitat alteration of up to 1,100 acres from future industrial use and eventual loss of 2,700 acres of high-quality habitat from future industrial use and developed recreation use. Development at the Clinch River Breeder Site could result in impacts to the Grassy Creek Habitat Protection Area. Informal recreation opportunities would be lost at development sites. Alternative C would result in the conversion of 77 acres of public land to private economic development uses. Both alternatives would have minimal impacts to a marina due to development of a barge terminal, and both would result in some degradation of the visual aesthetics of the shoreline.

AN - 756825196; 13698-090015_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The completion of State Route (SR) 397 (Mack Hatcher Parkway) around west side of the city of Franklin in Williamson County, Tennessee is proposed. The seven- to 10-mile project would extend from US 31 (State Route 6, Columbia Avenue) South of Franklin to US 431 (State Route 106, Hillsboro Road) north of Franklin in Williamson County, Tennessee. The facility would be a four-lane, divided, limited-access facility within rights-of-way 250 feet in width, with narrowing to 104 feet in selected locations, on a new Alignment. The typical cross-section would be developed to accommodate six lanes in the future. The first build section would lie within the restricted 104-foot rights-of-way, providing five lanes, with a 12-foot center turn lane, and an urban section with shoulders and standard 2.5-foot curb-and-gutter sections. Combined with the existing parkway, this extension would create a complete loop around the city of Franklin and provide needed connectivity throughout the region. The design speed would be 60 miles per hour. The existing Mark Thatcher is currently classified as an urban principle arterial. Six build alternatives and a No-Build Alternative were considered in the draft EIS of November 2004. An August 2005 draft supplement to the draft EIS addressed an additional build alternative. All six build alternatives are considered in this final EIS. The selected alternative Alignment would extend 7.5 miles, which was the alternative added in the draft supplement, has been forwarded as the selected alternative in this final EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Regardless of the build alternative considered, the project would improve local circulation, reduce traffic congestion in downtown Franklin, improve access to Interstate 65 and other regional destinations, reduce travel times, lower vehicular operating costs, and improve air quality. The Tennessee Valley Authority wishes to locate a new power line and substation within the study area and hopes to locate the line adjacent to the transportation corridor in an effort to reduce environmental impacts in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the alternative considered, the new facility would require relocation of a limited number of residential and commercial properties and conversion of open, rural land to public transportation use. More specifically, the project would displace one or two businesses and up to 19 residential properties and 210 to 280 acres of farmland. The highway would affect the Harpeth River Historic District. Sensitive receptor sites would experience noise levels in excess of federal standards in some areas along the corridor.

Steam Turbines: Repairing low-pressure rotors with cracked blade attachments AN - 232486894 AB - Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA's) Paradise Fossil Plant, located in western Kentucky, consists of three units that began commercial operation between 1963 and 1970 that have a total generating capacity of 2,273 MW. In 2007, there was trouble in Paradise at Unit 3. Unit 3 is equipped with a Babcock & Wilcox supercritical steam generator operating at 3,500 psig with 1,000F main and reheat. The 1,150-MW steam turbine is a General Electric cross-compound design whose high-pressure (HP) and first reheat (IP1) turbine section are coupled to a 3,600-rpm generator. The double-flow IP (IP2) and the two low-pressure (LP) turbines are connected to a second generator, rotating at 1,800 rpm. Each LP turbine has a double-flow configuration with 52-inch last-stage blades. TVA's standard steam turbine inspection interval is approximately 10 years. Test results showed multiple indicators of what was believed to be stress corrosion cracking (SCC) on both LP rotors. The indicators were confined to the L-2 and L-3 stages of each LP rotor, although the extent and severity of cracking in the dovetail attachments was different between the stages. The problems experienced by Paradise Unit 3 may be expensive and time-consuming to repair, but they are not unusual. To assist others facing similar problems, this article reviews the repair options for each stage identified by the TVA, the decision criteria used, and the solutions selected.

Sampling was conducted during three flight segments over several downwind areas that were identified by a controllable meteorological balloon released from the Houston area at sundown. Samples were taken for approximately 2h over each area. Using carbon monoxide as a tracer of the urban plume, it was revealed that the dilution inside the plume was relatively small. Ozone levels of up to 120ppb were found in the plume at the furthest downwind distance, some 250km northwest of Houston, with plume transport in the direction of the Dallas metropolitan area. The data further suggest that the nighttime conversion of NO sub(x) to NO sub(z) was very rapid, with complete (~100%) conversion by the end of the night. At two locations the urban plume mixed with fresh emissions from power plants. At these sampling points ~50% of the NO sub(y) had already been converted to NO sub(z), thus indicating very rapid oxidation at night.

The primary objective was to estimate the relative contribution of primary emissions from large point sources, i.e., major power plants, compared with mobile sources in terms of O sub(3) production. The distinction between the source types was derived from concurrent measurements of SO sub(2) (tracer for point sources) and CO (tracer for mobile sources) relative to levels of O sub(3) and NO sub(x) (the O sub(3) precursor). The flights also examined the vertical structure of the atmosphere and its effect on the dispersion/dilution of the trace gases. During the first half of the study the O sub(3) levels in the Dallas area were relatively low and only during the second half were significantly elevated O sub(3) levels observed. For the latter period the relationship between maximum O sub(3) levels, the air mass chemical age and the O sub(3) yield are evaluated. The results also revealed that mobile sources are the main contributors to the elevated O sub(3) levels in the Dallas area.

AN - 36389060; 13433-080195_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 65-mile segment of transcontinental interstate highway (Interstate 69 (I-69)) beginning at State Route (SR) 385 (Paul Barrett Parkway) in Millington, north to I-155 at Dyersburg in Selby, Tipton, Lauderdale counties, Tennessee is proposed. The facility currently serving the corridor will be heavily congested from the US 51 Bypass around Dyersburg to the I-155 with an unacceptably low level of service by the year 2010. By 2030, virtually all segments of US 51 would be congested, with several segments reaching the lowest gradable level of service. The proposed four-lane, controlled access facility would constitute an independent utility segment of Corridor 18, a congressionally mandated high priority transportation corridor, designated as I-69. Portions of the roadway would follow a new alignment, but one section of one build alternative would following existing US 51. Ten build alternatives, which constitute corridor options and a No-Build Alternative were considered in the draft EIS of September 2005. Costs of the build alternative considered in 2005 ranged from $492.4 million to $601.1 million. This draft supplement to the draft EIS considers a new 24-mile alternative located entirely within Lauderdale County. constituting a subalternative of Alternative R, which also extended approximately 24 miles in Lauderdale County. The subalternative (Alternative OAF) would begin at Node K north of the Hatchie River, proceed north to the southeast of Ripley, continue northward through the Pecan Drive residential area, cross Old Brownsville Road 1,000 feet southeast of Skyline Drive, and continue northward to US 51, where an interchange would provide inbound and outbound access. From US 51, the alternative would proceed northeastward across Central Curve Road to Curve Nankipoo Road, and terminate at Node G. Cost of the currently proposed alternative in this corridor is $284.1 million, while the estimated cost of the alternative considered in this draft supplement is $292.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to completing an unfinished portion of High Priority Corridor 18 and I-69. Local motorists would benefit from the upgrading of the currently substandard level of service along US 51 within the study corridor in an area where modal connections are substandard to inadequate. Economic development in the region served by the facility would be enhanced significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Respective rights-of-way development impacts of Alternative R and Alternative OAF would result in the displacement of 52 or 53 residences, 1,167 or 1,125 acres of farmland, including 316 or 489 acres of prime and unique farmland, 369 or 386 acres of floodplain, and 16.2 or 39.5 acres of wetlands. Culverts would affect 1,809 or 1,652 linear feet of stream, while bridges would affect 883 or 708 linear feet of stream. Either 4,457 or 3,230 linear feet of stream would be relocated. Regardless of the alternative selected, construction workers would encounter one hazardous waste site.

AN - 36389042; 13433-080195_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 65-mile segment of transcontinental interstate highway (Interstate 69 (I-69)) beginning at State Route (SR) 385 (Paul Barrett Parkway) in Millington, north to I-155 at Dyersburg in Selby, Tipton, Lauderdale counties, Tennessee is proposed. The facility currently serving the corridor will be heavily congested from the US 51 Bypass around Dyersburg to the I-155 with an unacceptably low level of service by the year 2010. By 2030, virtually all segments of US 51 would be congested, with several segments reaching the lowest gradable level of service. The proposed four-lane, controlled access facility would constitute an independent utility segment of Corridor 18, a congressionally mandated high priority transportation corridor, designated as I-69. Portions of the roadway would follow a new alignment, but one section of one build alternative would following existing US 51. Ten build alternatives, which constitute corridor options and a No-Build Alternative were considered in the draft EIS of September 2005. Costs of the build alternative considered in 2005 ranged from $492.4 million to $601.1 million. This draft supplement to the draft EIS considers a new 24-mile alternative located entirely within Lauderdale County. constituting a subalternative of Alternative R, which also extended approximately 24 miles in Lauderdale County. The subalternative (Alternative OAF) would begin at Node K north of the Hatchie River, proceed north to the southeast of Ripley, continue northward through the Pecan Drive residential area, cross Old Brownsville Road 1,000 feet southeast of Skyline Drive, and continue northward to US 51, where an interchange would provide inbound and outbound access. From US 51, the alternative would proceed northeastward across Central Curve Road to Curve Nankipoo Road, and terminate at Node G. Cost of the currently proposed alternative in this corridor is $284.1 million, while the estimated cost of the alternative considered in this draft supplement is $292.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to completing an unfinished portion of High Priority Corridor 18 and I-69. Local motorists would benefit from the upgrading of the currently substandard level of service along US 51 within the study corridor in an area where modal connections are substandard to inadequate. Economic development in the region served by the facility would be enhanced significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Respective rights-of-way development impacts of Alternative R and Alternative OAF would result in the displacement of 52 or 53 residences, 1,167 or 1,125 acres of farmland, including 316 or 489 acres of prime and unique farmland, 369 or 386 acres of floodplain, and 16.2 or 39.5 acres of wetlands. Culverts would affect 1,809 or 1,652 linear feet of stream, while bridges would affect 883 or 708 linear feet of stream. Either 4,457 or 3,230 linear feet of stream would be relocated. Regardless of the alternative selected, construction workers would encounter one hazardous waste site.

Preparation date: May 14, 2008 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RUTHERFORD-WILLIAMSON-DAVIDSON POWER SUPPLY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, RUTHERFORD, WILLIAMSON, AND MAURY COUNTIES, TENNESSEE. AN - 36412536; 13375 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 500-kilovolt (kV) substation, a 27-mile, 500-kV transmission line, and one nine- and one 15-mile transmission line in Rutherford, Williamson, and Maury counties, Tennessee are proposed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). By 2010, the electrical load growth in the affected service area, including Murfreesboro, Franklin, and surrounding areas of central Tennessee, will soon exceed the capacity of the three existing 500-kV substations and several of the 161-kV transmission lines serving the area. The initial considerations in the workup for this draft EIS considered three alternatives involving the construction of a 500-kV transmission system and a four alternative involving reliance on load management and conservation to achieve a reduction in current peak loads by at least 800 megawatts. This draft EIS considers the proposed 500-kV system and a No Action Alternative. The proposed action, which is also the preferred alternative, would involve construction of a new 500-kV substation in southwestern Rutherford County along with the associated 500-kV and 161-kV transmission facilities. The substation would be located on Coleman Hill Road approximately four miles east of US Highway 31/41. A 27-mile, 500-kV transmission line would be built on vacant TVA rights-of-way (ROW) extending between TVA's existing Maury 500-kV Substation and the proposed new substation. A nine-mile, 161-kV transmission line would connect the new substation to Middle Tennessee Electric Membership Corporation's (MTEMC) existing Almaville 161-kV Substation; six miles of this line would lie within TVA-owned ROW, while the remainder would be on new ROW. A 15-mile, 161-kV transmission line on new ROW would connect the new substation to MTEMC's existing Christiana 161-kV Substation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new transmission system would alleviate regional system overloads and improve load-serving capacity in central Tennessee, provide a long-term source of reliable power transmission to the Murfreesboro and Franklin areas, and improve the quality of electrical power service to a number of smaller communities in the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Clearance of the substation site and the transmission ROW would result in the loss of 370 acres of forested land and the associated wildlife habitat and the disturbance of underlying soils. Farmland would be traversed. A total of 13 wetlands covering 2.29 acres would be lost within the transmission ROW. Several state-listed protected plant species would be affected, though populations would not be threatened. Much of the ROW for the transmission system would be underlain by karst, characterized by sinkholes, springs, and easily permeated groundwater. Several surface waterbodies, including the Harpeth River, would be traversed by transmission lines, resulting in sedimentation and reduction of the tree canopy, and the lines would cross 100-year floodplain areas. All facilities, and particularly the 500-kV transmission lines, would significantly mar visual aesthetics in the affected areas, including in the vicinity of two structures listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

The models are shown to predict similar directions of the changes in PM sub(2.5) mass and component (sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, and organic compounds) concentrations in response to changes in emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO sub(2)), nitrogen oxides (NO sub(x)), and volatile organic compounds (VOC), except for the effect of SO sub(2) reduction on nitrate and the effect of VOC reduction on PM sub(2.5) mass. Furthermore, in many cases where the directional changes are consistent, the magnitude of the changes are significantly different among models. Examples are the effects of SO sub(2) and NO sub(x) reductions on nitrate and PM sub(2.5) mass and the effects of VOC reduction on organic compounds, sulfate and nitrate. The spatial resolution significantly influences the results in some cases. Operational model performance for a PM sub(2.5) component appears to provide some useful indication on the reliability of the relative response factors (RRFs) for a change in emissions of a direct precursor, as well as for a change in emissions of a compound that affects this component in an indirect manner, such as via oxidant formation. However, these results need to be confirmed for other conditions and caution is still needed when applying air quality models for the design of emission control strategies. It is advisable to use more than one air quality model (or more than one configuration of a single air quality model) to span the full range of plausible scientific representations of atmospheric processes when investigating future air quality scenarios.

AN - 36342910; 13095 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of emergency measures at the Wolf Creek Dam and Lake Cumberland near Jamestown, Kentucky is proposed. The high head dam creating Lake Cumberland is located near Jamestown, Kentucky at Cumberland River mile 460.9. The current authorized project purposes include flood control, hydropower generation, recreation, fish and wildlife management, and water quality enhancement. Although not specifically authorized for the purpose, the dam also makes some ancillary contribution to downstream navigation, particularly on the lower Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Similarly, though water supply is not a dedicated purpose of the project, there are several water supply intakes that draw from the lake. The dam was built on highly erodible karst geology using accepted engineering practices of the day. Since the 1960s, seepage through the dam's foundation has been a concern. Over the last 30 years, periodic repairs on the dam have ceased being effective. In January 2007, due to the risk imposed on downstream populations by the dam's instability, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lowered the target pool elevation of Lake Cumberland from a maximum level of 760 feet above mean sea level (MSL) at full flood pool to 680 feet above MSL, while repairs take place over a number of years. This final EIS considers seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), to address the problems with the dam. Action alternatives include would involve lowering the pool elevation as noted above, implementation of an interim operating pan for the Cumberland River Reservoir System, construction of a new roller compacted concrete dam to replace the existing dam, and consideration of other alternative pool elevations, including extreme elevation changes that could occur during the five- to seven-year dam repair period. Alternative lake elevations are 610 feet, 650 feet, 680 feet, and 685 to 700 feet above MSL. The recommended plan would be to operate the dam at 680 feet above MSL. To mitigate the impacts of lowering the elevation of the lake, the dam operating plan would include blending turbine and sluice gate discharges to raise dissolved oxygen levels in dam releases; supplementation of water flows from the reservoir with flows from other tributary lakes; spillage of water through the trainer gates of mainstem projects if water quality decreases during summer months; reduction of recreational user fees and modification of recreational facilities to permit access to the lowered lake; installation of a supplemental tailwater intake for the Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery; and implementation of a program to mitigate impacts to properties listed in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic places POSITIVE IMPACTS: The emergency measures and repair program would significantly reduce the risk of dam failure, a catastrophe that would take the lives of more than 100 persons and result in economic losses of over $2.0 billion. Water quality enhancement measures would help maintain water quality in the lake and along downstream reaches of the Cumberland, Ohio, and Mississippi rivers. Other mitigation measures would ensure recreationists reasonable access to lake-oriented opportunities, allow the fish hatchery to continue operating at full capacity, and prevent significant damage of historically significant sites and structures. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Lake drawdown would result in the creation of mudflats and the loss of lakeside wetland habitat and wetland habitat along lake tributaries and river as well as along the river downstream of the lake. The lake fishery would decline in value while the emergency measures are in place. Downstream water quality will decline somewhat, particularly during summer months, reducing its fish carrying capacity. Structures around the lake, including historically significant structures, would be damaged due to lake fluctuations. The hydroelectric generation and flood control capacity of the dam would decline significantly. All other purposes of the dam would be curtailed somewhat.

AN - 36347522; 13010 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of changes to operational guide curves for pool elevations at the Center Hill Dam and Lake at river mile 26.6 on the Caney Fork River in DeKalb County, Tennessee is proposed. The combination concrete and earthen embankment dam was constructed during the 1930s and 1940s. A saddle dam was constructed in 1946 to close a V-notch through the right rim. The entire project was completed in 1951. The dam impounds the second largest flood control reservoir operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Nashville District. The three-generator unit hydroelectric plant located immediately downstream of the dam on the left descending bank of the Caney Fork River has a capacity of 135,000 kilowatts. The average discharge from the dam is approximately 3,800 cubic feet per second. Center Hill Lake has a drainage area of 2,174 square miles and a surface area of 18,220 acres. The lake impounds 2.1 million acre-feet at its maximum flood control pool elevation. The average depth of the reservoir is 73 feet and the retention time is 13-00 days. The concrete dam, earthen embankment, and saddle dam, left and right rims have been plagued with seepage problems since the construction of the dam. In recent years seepage has increased to an unprecedented 127 cubic feet per second under normal lake operations. Foundation conditions are deteriorating due to erosion of clay-filled joints in the rock within the rims and dam foundation. Two environmental assessments were completed in 2006 to address seepage repairs and findings of no significant impact were executed for each. At that time, no significant changes in the customary pool elevations were considered necessary. The maximum pool elevation is 685 feet above mean sea level (MSL). All project uses except flood control are drawn from the power pool located between 618 feet above MSL and 648 feet above MSL. The average minimum winter lake is 623.5 feet above MSL. The anticipated repairs will take a number of years to implement. As a proactive measure, the Corps in evaluating different interim lake elevations that would reduce hydrostatic pressure and balance the risk of dam failure with the impact to project purposes and environmental resources. This draft EIS addresses possible impacts due to interim pool elevations, including extreme elevation changes that could occur during the seven-year period during which the dam will undergo repairs to address foundation and abutment problems. Nine alternative, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would maintain current design lake elevation ranges, are considered in this final EIS. Action alternatives involve drawing down the lake to elevations between 496 feet and 618 above MSL for the lowest drawdown range (Alternative 9) to elevations between 623 and 645 above MSL for the highest drawdown range (Alternative 2). The Corps recently modified the normal maximum pool elevation to 640 feet above MSL, the bottom of the normal pool, to reduce the risk of dam failure. The recommended plan would involve installation of permanent cutoff walls and supplemental grouting into the main dam embankment, main dam and saddle dam foundations, and rim walls to arrest seepage. In addition, the plan would provide for installation of an orifice gate over a sluice gate to provide a continuous and well-oxygenated minimum flow of 200 cubic feet per second to augment flow for water quality enhancement downstream of the dam. The Corps has also identified a number of distress indicators that would prompt an immediate unscheduled emergency drawdown of the lake. Cost of implementation of the recommended plan is estimated at $240 million, the benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 3.4. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Lake drawdown and structural rehabilitation of the dam would reduce the risk of catastrophic dam failure to acceptable levels, protecting the health and safety of the downstream population and maintaining the lake and stream ecosystems and hydroelectric, flood control, environmental enhancement, and recreational purposes of the dam and lake. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the degree of drawdown, lowering the level of the lake would have minor to sever impacts on aquatic resources, threatened and endangered species of plants and animals, the coldwater fishery, water quality, wildlife habitat, water supply, historic sites, water quality, tailwater heights, shoreline erosion, recreational use of the lake and river, reservoir aesthetics, flood control, hydropower, thermal power, operation and maintenance costs, general economics of operations, employment, tax valuations, property values, community cohesion, displaced residents and businesses, loss of farmland, and regional and community growth. Under the more severe drawdowns, the plan would eliminate the coldwater fishery, the hydropower power potential of the dam, and public recreational facilities use.

Preparation date: November 2, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NORTH SHORE ROAD, SWAIN AND GRAHAM COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 15227141; 12954 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of North Shore Road in Swain County, North Carolina is proposed. The project corridor includes a portion of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and the record of decision for this EIS process will serve as a general management plan amendment for the park if an alternative that is inconsistent with the current park direction is adopted. In 1943, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Department of the Interior, the state of North Carolina, and Swain County entered into a memorandum of agreement that addressed the creation of Fontana Dam and Reservoir and the resultant flooding of lands and roads within the county. As part of the agreement, 44,170 acres of land were transferred to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and made part of the national park. The agreement contained a provision by which the state was to construct a road from Bryson City to the national park boundary, and the BLM was to construct a road through the park along the north shore of the newly formed Fontana Reservoir to replace the inundated NC 288. The state completed its obligation in 1959, but the BLM lacked funding to fulfill its road construction commitment. Between 1948 and 1970, the Department of the Interior, through the National Park Service, built 7.2 miles of the proposed road, leaving 30 miles unconstructed. During the early construction efforts, it was discovered that the alignment of the road would pass through unstable terrain, resulting in the possibility of landslides during and after construction and requiring more extensive engineering than originally anticipated. Additionally, during construction, a stratum subject to acid leaching was encountered. In October 2000, Congress appropriated $16 million for construction of, and improvements to, North Shore Road. Since then, environmental groups have contended that construction and use of the road would harm park resources; certain of these groups support a cash settlement in lieu of the road. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The alternatives include a No Action Alternative, the monetary settlement proposal; development of a Laurel Branch Picnic Area and associated access road; a partial-build alternative extending eight miles from the existing tunnel west to the vicinity of the former Bushnell settlement; and one full-build alternative. Two road types are under consideration, including a paved principal park road and a gravel primitive park road. Estimated costs of the monetary settlement and Laurel Branch alternatives are $52 million and $13.7 million, respectively. The cost of partial-build alternative extending to Bushnell is estimated to range from $92.2 million to $148.6 million, with the low figure applying to the primitive park road design and the high figure applying to the principal park road design. The estimated costs of the full-build alternatives range from $344.9 million to $589.7 million, the figures representing the primitive and principal park road options, respectively. The National Park Service has chosen the monetary settlement alternative as the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The construction of the road would allow families that lived along the north shore of the Little Tennessee River prior to its acquisition by the national park access to old home sites and family cemeteries. The road would also provide economic benefits to the county via increased tourist access. The monetary settlement alternative would retire all claims against federal agencies by the county and preclude all environmental damage resulting from road construction and reconstruction activities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Additional traffic in the area would affect the pristine natural appearance of the corridor along the lake. Under the build alternatives, from eight to 906 acres would be reclassified from natural environment to a transportation subzone. Vegetation and wildlife habitat, including habitat for migratory birds and the federally protected bald eagle and Indiana bat, would be permanently displaced in the construction corridor. Six historic structures and several archaeological sites could be affected by construction activities and roadway use. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail would be affected. All build alternatives would encroach on the 100-year floodplain at major stream crossings. Approximately 69 acres of wetlands would lie within the corridor affected by the project, and lakes and streams would also suffer from increased runoff and the associated pollutants.

Preparation date: October 3, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BEAR CREEK DAM LEAKAGE RESOLUTION PROJECT, FRANKLIN COUNTY, ALABAMA. [Part 1 of 1] T2 - BEAR CREEK DAM LEAKAGE RESOLUTION PROJECT, FRANKLIN COUNTY, ALABAMA. AN - 756824455; 12880-070337_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of repair work to resolve a leakage problem at Bear Creek Dam in Franklin County, Alabama is proposed to prevent dam failure during heavy rains. The dam is operated to provide flood control, recreational opportunities, and economic development potential, primarily via water supply. In addition, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), which owns and administers the dam, has committed to minimum-flow releases to conserve and enhance habitat for endangered mussels downstream from the dam to the Pickwick Reservoir. Completed in 1969, the dam has a rock foundation, but a portion of the structure was built on residual soil, Since completion, the dam has leaked continuously through its foundation. TVA has attempted several repairs, generally involving drilling and grouting to plug leakage pathways through the underlying rock and soil. After the most recently repairs, which occurred during 2004 and 2005, TVA returned the reservoir to the normal summer pool of 576 feet; leakage continued. This leakage increases the risk of dam failure; hence, as a precautionary measure, TVA subsequently lowered the summer pool by eight feet. However, when heavy rains occur, the reservoir rises to 576 feet and above and the risk of dam failure increases. Although TVA maintains equipment for emergency repairs and increases its monitoring and notifies local officials when the water rises, these measures are not a viable long-term solution to the leakage problem. In addition to the No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), this final EIS considers the following action alternatives: 2) modification of the dam to maintain a summer pool elevation of 576 feet, which would match the original design for the dam; 3) lowering the dam to maintain a summer pool elevation of 565 feet, and 4) removal of the dam and restoration of the former natural creek channel. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would modify the dam such that the 576-foot operating pool could be maintained. Under this alternative, the TVA would rebuild the dam in place or immediately downstream of the existing dam. The specific repair method would be determined based on engineering and design studies. The options under consideration include roller compacted reinforcing structure, grouting, and trenching. County Road 37, which crosses Bear Creek via the crown of the dam, would be returned to service upon completion of construction and repairs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By repairing and maintaining the dam, the TVA would continue to provide benefits for the region, including water supply, flood control, and open water recreational opportunities. The repaired dam would better allow TVA to meet the seasonal minimum-flow required to conserve aquatic resources downstream of the impoundment. Endangered and threatened fish and mussels would benefit from conservation releases from the dam. Approximately 77 acres of scrub-shurb wetlands that formed along the banks of the reservoir would be maintained.

AN - 36340948; 12880 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of repair work to resolve a leakage problem at Bear Creek Dam in Franklin County, Alabama is proposed to prevent dam failure during heavy rains. The dam is operated to provide flood control, recreational opportunities, and economic development potential, primarily via water supply. In addition, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), which owns and administers the dam, has committed to minimum-flow releases to conserve and enhance habitat for endangered mussels downstream from the dam to the Pickwick Reservoir. Completed in 1969, the dam has a rock foundation, but a portion of the structure was built on residual soil, Since completion, the dam has leaked continuously through its foundation. TVA has attempted several repairs, generally involving drilling and grouting to plug leakage pathways through the underlying rock and soil. After the most recently repairs, which occurred during 2004 and 2005, TVA returned the reservoir to the normal summer pool of 576 feet; leakage continued. This leakage increases the risk of dam failure; hence, as a precautionary measure, TVA subsequently lowered the summer pool by eight feet. However, when heavy rains occur, the reservoir rises to 576 feet and above and the risk of dam failure increases. Although TVA maintains equipment for emergency repairs and increases its monitoring and notifies local officials when the water rises, these measures are not a viable long-term solution to the leakage problem. In addition to the No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), this final EIS considers the following action alternatives: 2) modification of the dam to maintain a summer pool elevation of 576 feet, which would match the original design for the dam; 3) lowering the dam to maintain a summer pool elevation of 565 feet, and 4) removal of the dam and restoration of the former natural creek channel. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would modify the dam such that the 576-foot operating pool could be maintained. Under this alternative, the TVA would rebuild the dam in place or immediately downstream of the existing dam. The specific repair method would be determined based on engineering and design studies. The options under consideration include roller compacted reinforcing structure, grouting, and trenching. County Road 37, which crosses Bear Creek via the crown of the dam, would be returned to service upon completion of construction and repairs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By repairing and maintaining the dam, the TVA would continue to provide benefits for the region, including water supply, flood control, and open water recreational opportunities. The repaired dam would better allow TVA to meet the seasonal minimum-flow required to conserve aquatic resources downstream of the impoundment. Endangered and threatened fish and mussels would benefit from conservation releases from the dam. Approximately 77 acres of scrub-shurb wetlands that formed along the banks of the reservoir would be maintained. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, wave action along the shoreline of the reservoir would continue to cause bank erosion and downstream releases would cause some scour and bank erosion as well. The impoundment would continue to displace natural stream habitat. [LEG]Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933 (16 U.S.C. 831 et seq.).

Mercury Monitoring: Use predictive techniques to guide your mercury compliance strategy AN - 232490006 AB - Several states have mandated faster and/or deeper reductions in plant mercury emissions than those called for by the Clean Air Mercury Rule. Unfortunately, differences between plants make accurate evaluation of control options difficult. In most cases, even statistically based Hg emission models don't pass muster because they don't account for the dynamic chemical behavior of Hg species in gas cleaning systems. This article describes one system evaluation tool that has been validated using Hg field test data from 50 full-scale flue gas cleaning systems. It is already being used by TVA and other utilities. Because they are based on dynamic reaction analysis (DRA), the modeling tools developed by Niksa Energy Associates account for the rates of all chemical reactions in a gas cleaning system that affect Hg emissions. As the flue gas cools along a gas cleaning system, the reaction rates in a DRA-based model automatically slow down at different rates, and high-temperature bottlenecks give way to new bottlenecks at cooler temperatures. Different fuel qualities and cleaning conditions also affect these rates, as does the injection of chlorine or other halogens and sorbents into the flue gas stream. The rates used for catalytic Hg oxidation along SCR systems are faster than the rates for the in-flight Hg chemistry. JF - Power AU - Dr. Stephen Niksa and David P.

AN - 36345449; 12756 AB - PURPOSE: The completion and operation of Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Unit 2, located approximately 50 miles northeast of Chattanooga on the Tennessee River in Rhea County, Tennessee is proposed. The plant site, which will eventually contain two nuclear generating units, occupies 1,770-acre on the west bank of the Chickamauga Reservoir on federal property under the control of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), which designed and built the plant and plans to operate it. Each identical 3,425-megawatt (thermal) unit would employ a four-loop pressurized water reactor nuclear steam supply system furnished by Westinghouse Electric Corporation. The net electrical output of each unit would be 1,160 megawatts of electricity. In December 1978, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a final EIS to support the issuance of operating licenses for the two units. At the time, Unit 1 was approximately 85 percent complete and Unit 2 was roughly 65 percent complete. Construction delays, however, have affected the completion schedule for both facilities. Unit one was completed and has been operating since 1996. The completion and operation of Unit 2 is being re-evaluated in this supplement to the final EIS of June 1978. The NRC staff concluded that no significant changes in environmental impacts have occurred since the issuance of the 1978 EIS. The facility has already been granted an NPDES Permit specifying controls on thermal discharges, chemical wastes, and other hazardous wastes. In addition to the proposed action, which is the preferred alternative, this final supplemental EIS addresses the No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The overall two-unit facility would supply needed electrical power to the Tennessee Valley and benefit the local economy, employing roughly 1,800 persons by mid-1995. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 967 acres of rural, partially-wooded land would be unavailable for other uses during the 40-year life of the plant. An estimated 3,621 acres of land would be used for transmission line corridors and/or switchyards and be maintained under controlled conditions. Approximately 64 cubic feet per second of water would be lost from the cooling towers of both units. Fish impinged on the water-intake screen would be killed, and some organisms would be entrained in the cooling water. Small amounts of chemicals would be discharged into the reservoir.

These modeling systems consist of three components: meteorology, emissions and air quality. A simulation was conducted for the July 1999 Southern Oxidants Study to evaluate one such modeling system, Models-3. Performance of the meteorological component, MM5, was evaluated against observations. Consistency of two emissions models, SMOKE and EPS 2.5, was evaluated by comparing their outputs. For comparison, the performance of CMAQ and three additional models (CMAQ-MADRID 1, CMAQ-MADRID 2, and REMSAD) was evaluated for the same time period. Nested simulations for a 32-km and an 8-km grid were conducted for CMAQ and CMAQ-MADRID 1. Results for CMAQ-MADRID 2 and REMSAD are available only for the 8-km grid. Performance was evaluated for PM and its components, ozone and wet deposition. Differences in model performance for PM sub(2.5) and its components were greatest for OC and total PM sub(2.5); performance was more consistent for the other components. Model performance was generally better on the 32-km grid than the 8-km grid for PM sub(2.5) and its components. R super(2) values ranged from 20 to 50% for NH sub(4) super(+) and EC and were lower for other PM sub(2.5) components, indicating that the predictive capabilities of the models for PM sub(2.5) are limited. Model performance for ozone met EPA guidance for MNB and MNE when a 60 ppb cutoff was used and was better on the 8-km grid than on the 32-km grid. Performance for wet deposition was good.

It also contains much discussion on federal programs, but this seemingly contradictory approach is quickly explained. Indeed, the international protocols have taken into account the types of concerns often voiced at the local level and provide a useful framework for establishing programs that fit into local land use regulatory regimes. The US approach, which defers so heavily to local governments in the land use arena, is not necessarily an excuse for ignoring biodiversity considerations, as this book so ably points out. First, the various federal grant and permitting programs are often administered by the states or in partnership with the states. Second, there are ample tools in most states that concerned local governments can use to take biodiversity into account in their land use decisions. This book provides a wealth of information on the tools that state and local governments can use to discover, understand, conserve, and sustainably use biodiversity.

Archetypical wetland systems have design strengths and weaknesses, and therefore it should be possible to design combined (integrated) systems to optimize a number of important treatment processes. This study provides comparative efficacy data for two integrated wetland treatment systems (IWTS) designed to enhance treatment of medium strength wastewater generated from a pilot-scale intensive fish farm. Results from the twenty eight months study included consistently high removal of COD (84% +) and ammonia nitrogen (93%) in both systems. Initially, phosphorus removal was also high (>90%) in both systems, but removal efficacy declined significantly over time. Nitrate removal was significantly better in the system that provided sequential aerobic and anoxic environments. Short hydraulic retention times coupled with sustained removal of COD and ammonia indicate that the ReCip components could be a least-cost wastewater treatment technology in the decentralized market sector.

Critical to advancing the state of knowledge is the acquisition of accurate measurement of speciated mercury (gaseous and particulate) at ground research stations in a variety of settings located around the globe. This paper describes one such research effort conducted at TVAs Look Rock air quality monitoring site in Tennessee - a mountain top site (813 m elevation) just west of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the largest National Park in the eastern US and it receives environmental protection under a variety of US statutes. Gaseous and particle mercury species along with some additional trace gases were measured at Look Rock during two field studies totaling 84 days in the spring and summer of 2004. Average results for the entire sampling period are: gaseous elemental mercury Hg(0): 1.65 ng m super(-3), reactive gaseous mercury RGM: 0.005 ng m super(-3), particulate mercury Hg(p): 0.007 ng m super(-3). Literature review indicates that these levels are within the range found for other rural/remote sites in North America and worldwide. Reactive and particulate mercury comprised together less than 1%, on average, of total airborne mercury at Look Rock. When compared to the global background mercury literature, the Look Rock measurements demonstrate that the atmospheric mercury levels in the vicinity of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park are clearly dominated by the global atmospheric pool, not by local or regional sources.

This overview provides an introduction to nitrogen critical loads for policy makers and parties involved in managing nitrogen deposition including electric utility generators, transportation managers and automobile manufacturers, and large-scale agricultural operators in the United States. It examines the use of the critical loads concept in European nations for establishing policy guidelines, current research on nitrogen critical loads in the U.S., and the development of nitrogen critical loads modeling and mapping.

Sulfur dioxide oxidation to sulfate occurs in the atmosphere through gas-phase reactions and reactions in clouds. The latter heterogeneous reactions can be rapid compared to gas-phase chemistry and a model must correctly simulate cloud cover to avoid serious bias. An evaluation of CMAQ revealed serious problems with diagnosed cloud cover and a bias in simulated sulfate production that was consistent with cloud biases. CMAQ modifications were tested to determine the sensitivity of the sulfur balance to cloud modeling assumptions. The models vertical layer structure, limits on subgrid-scale cloud base and top heights, and the ability to simulate subgrid-scale convective cloud formation were found to be important. After applying model changes, atmospheric sulfur simulations were less biased and sulfur dioxide and sulfate were in better balance.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - NOLICHUCKY RESERVOIR FLOOD REMEDIATION, AVERY, MITCHELL, AND YANCEY COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 756824384; 12314-060448_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of measures to reduce the flooding effects related to the operation of the Nolichucky Dam and the accumulation of sediment in the Nolichucky Reservoir in Avery, Mitchell, and Yancey counties, North Carolina is proposed. The dam was built in 1913 as a single-purpose hydroelectric power production facility and was acquired by the Tennessee Valley Authority in 1945. All four generators were removed from service between 1965 and 1972 due to sediment-related problems. Since 1972, the project has been used for wildlife management and environmental education. The federal government owns approximately 1,400 acres of land under and around the reservoir and holds easements over approximately 370 acres of land along the associated reach of the river. Recent studies have indicated that silt accumulation is in the reservoir have raised the 100-year flood level by as much as 10 above what it probably was in 1945 and, even then, the project land rights did not include all of the area that would have been affected during flood events. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. Alternative B would involve the acquisition in feet title or via flood easements of 1,060 acres of private land within the present 500-year floodplain upstream of the dam. Most of the new land acquired in fee would probably be added to the existing wildlife management area. Alternative C would involve lowering the height of the dam spillway to approximately 40 feet, so that the 500-year flood elevation associated with the modified dam would affect only land already in federal ownership or covered by existing flood easements, and removing some sediment from the reservoir pool. Alternative D would involve removal of all visible components of the dam and removal of sediment from the river valley. If either Alternative C or D were adopted, the site-specific details of the project and its site-specific environmental effects would be addressed in a supplement to this EIS. Costs of Alternatives B, C, and D are estimated at $15 million to $20 million, $45 million to $70 million, and $90 million to $150 million, respectively. The No Action Alternative has been identified as the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under Alternative B, public ownership or control over the entire floodplain area would preclude damage to private property due to flooding and could lead to improved terrestrial habitat conditions, more resource protection, and increased recreational opportunities. Alternative C would return the river to a more natural state, both upstream and downstream. Alternative D would return the river to a nearly pristine historic state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Adoption of Alternative B would not reduce flood elevations upstream of the dam. Adoption of Alternative C would result in lower groundwater table levels adjacent to the reservoir, in some areas enough that nearby well performance could be affected. Lowering the pool would also drain approximately 310 acres of high-quality wetlands around and in the reservoir. Lowering the spillway and disturbing sediment in the reservoir could result in some increased sedimentation downstream of the dam during construction activities. Alternative D would result in impacts similar to those of Alternative C; in addition, however, freshwater mussels and other uncommon bottom-dwelling species, including two federally protected species, could be eliminated from the river.

Environmental impact assessment (EIA) of policies, plans, and programs is required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and implementing regulations, but it is not recognized as a specialty subset of NEPA practice by any specific guidelines. NEPA practitioners in the United States call it 'programmatic review.'

Two 37-day periods, representing typical summer and winter periods, were selected for the simulations. The MM5 domain covered the continental US while the CMAQ domain covered much of the central and eastern US. There were 34 vertical layers in MM5 and 18 in CMAQ. The horizontal resolution was 36 km for both. MM5 was run with five of the seven commonly used PBL schemes to generate a series of gridded meteorological fields. The data were then processed and converted by the meteorology-chemistry interface processor (MCIP) to produce meteorological input for CMAQ, in conjunction with the emissions data prepared by the Sparse Matrix Operator Kernel Emissions (SMOKE) System. The sensitivity of MM5-CMAQ modeling to the various PBL schemes was assessed and quantified by comparing model output against observations from the meteorological and the air quality monitoring networks within the CMAQ domain. The meteorological variables evaluated included surface (2-m) and 850-mb temperature, 10-meter and 850 mb wind speed and direction, 2-m mixing ratio, surface pressure, and cloud fraction over 50 surface sites and 21 upper air sounding sites. The CMAQ variables included gaseous species O sub(3), NO sub(2), NO sub(x), SO sub(2) and fine particulate matter PM sub(2.5) for over 2000 monitoring stations. A new 3-2-1 objective evaluation approach was developed to enhance the model sensitivity analysis. Results of evaluation of these variables indicate that domain-wide the performance of neither model was sensitive to the PBL schemes. Although large differences of PBL height existed across the meteorological simulations, they did not appreciably affect the CMAQ performance. On an urban scale, differences across the CMAQ simulations were large enough for the model to be considered sensitive, although no favorable PBL scheme was identified. It is suggested that domain-wide the lack of sensitivity of the MM5-CMAQ modeling system to the PBL schemes was mainly attributed to the parameterization of vertical eddy diffusivity in CMAQ and the four-dimensional data assimilation (FDDA) in MM5.

AN - 36389428; 11863-050548_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of North Shore road in Swain County, North Carolina is proposed. The project corridor includes a potion of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and the record of decision for this EIS process would serve as a general management plan amendment for the park if an alternative that is not consistent with the current park direction was adopted. In 1943, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Department of the Interior, and the state of North Carolina, and Swain County entered into a memorandum of agreement that dealt with the creation of Fontana Dam and Reservoir and the resultant flooding of lands and roads within the county. As part of the agreement, 44,170 acres of land were transferred to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and made part of the national park. The agreement contained a provision by which the state was to construct a road from Bryson City to the national park boundary, and the BLM was to construct a road through the park along the north shore of the newly formed Fontana Reservoir to replace flooded NC 288. The state completed its obligation n 1959, but the BLM lacked funding for road construction. Between 1948 and 1970, the Department of the Interior, through the National Park Service, built 7.2 miles of the proposed read, leaving 30 miles unconstructed. During the early construction efforts, it was discovered that the route of the road would be through unstable terrain, resulting in the possibility of landslides during and after construction and requiring more extensive engineering than originally supposed. A stratum subject to acid leaching was also encountered. In October 2000, Congress appropriated $16 million for construction or, and improvements to, North Shore Road. In the meantime, environmental groups have contended that construction and use of the road would harm park resources; certain of these entities support a cash settlement in lieu of the road. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The alternatives include the monetary settlement proposal, development of a Laurel Branch Picnic Area and associated access road; a partial-build alternative extending eight miles from the existing tunnel west to the vicinity of the former Bushnell settlement, and one full-build alternatives. Two road types are under consideration, including a paved principal park road and a gravel primitive park road. Estimated costs of the monetary settlement, Laurel Branch alternative are $52 million and $13.7 million, respectively. The cost of partial-build alternative extending to Bushnell is estimated to range from $92.2 million to $148.6 million, with the low figure applying to the primitive park road design and the high figure applying to the principal park road design. The estimated costs of the full-build alternatives range from $344.9 million to $589.7 million, the figures representing the primitive and principal park road options, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The construction of the road would allow families that lived along the north shore of the Little Tennessee River prior to its acquisition by the national park access to old home sites and family cemeteries. The road would also provide economic benefits to the county via increased tourist access. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Additional traffic in the area would affect the pristine natural appearance of the corridor along the lake. Under the build alternatives, from eight to 906 acres would be reclassified from natural environment to a transportation subzone. Vegetation and wildlife habitat, including habitat for migratory birds and the federally protected bald eagle and Indiana bat, would be permanently displaced in the construction corridor. Six historic structures and several archaeological sites could be affected by construction activities and roadway use. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail would be affected. All build alternatives would encroach on the 100-year floodplain at major stream crossings. Approximately 69 acres of wetlands would lie within the corridor affected by the project, and lakes and streams would also suffer from increased runoff and the associated pollutants.

[Part 39 of 39] T2 - I-81 CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT STUDY, VIRGINIA: FROM THE TENNESSEE BORDER TO THE WEST VIRGINIA BORDER. AN - 36384932; 050147D-050510_0039 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of transportation improvements along Interstate 81 (I-81) in Virginia extending 325 miles from the Tennessee border to the West Virginia border is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest to northeast direction from western Virginia at the Tennessee border north to the West Virginia border, passing through 21 cities and towns, and 13 counties. In addition to capacity deficiencies, the corridor is currently characterized by engineering design flaws the reduce vehicular maneuverability as well as sight distances. Accident rates along the corridor are excessive, particularly for trucks. This Tier 1 draft EIS addresses the need to increase capacity and improve safety along the corridor and evaluates conceptual-level improvements in addressing those needs. The concepts evaluated include the No-Build Alternative, transportation systems management alternative, and a range of conceptual build alternatives consisting of roadway improvements and improvements to Norfolk Southern's Shenandoah and Piedmont rail lines in Virginia. The rail study area consists of 13 discrete sections along the existing rail lines, ranging in length from les than 0.5 mile to 10 miles; most of the study sections are between one and two miles. For both the rail and the highway improvements, the rights-of-way corridor was set out to extend 500 feet from either side of the facility centerline. For the highway build concepts, No Toll, Low Toll, and High Toll scenarios are assessed. Upon completion of the Tier 1 study, decisions would be made on the improvement concepts for the roadway and rail facilities; on advancing I-81 as a toll pilot under Section 1216(b) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 Century; on the projects with independent utility and logical termini to be studies during Tier 2; on levels of Tier 2 environmental documents for those projects; and on the location of the corridor for studying alignments during Tier 2 analyses. Costs of the rail and highway alternatives, respectively, range from $100,000 million to $3.7 billion and from $5.1 billion to $7.5 billion. Costs of combination rail/road concepts range from $5.6 billion to $8.0 billion. Separated lane highway construction costs range fro $11.2 million to $13 billion. All foregoing costs are expressed in 2005 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of lanes to the I-81 corridor, as proposed, would significantly increase the capacity and safety of the facility. Adjustments to highway geometrics would further address safety problems, particularly with those related to turning speeds and sight distances. Rail improvements would decrease truck and passenger vehicle traffic within the highway corridor and reduce the associated air pollutant levels. Improved transportation would boost local economies, easing the movement of employees and other travelers and of goods and services across the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of over 7,000 acres of developed land, 1,000 acres of farmland, 41 to 71 acres of wetlands, 24.5 to 36.4 miles of stream, 411 to 580 acres of 100-year floodplain, 926 to 2,068 residences, 663 to 898 businesses, five community facilities, 53 to 86 parks acres of parks and other recreational lands, 12 to 34 acres of open space easements, 1,226 to 1,635 acres of battlefields, 52 to 51.5 acres within historic districts eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and 21 to 22 historic structures and one archaeological site eligible for inclusion in the register. Habitat for 13 or 13 special status species would be affected. A total of 20 block groups of minority populations and 27 low-income populations would experience disproportionate impacts. Highway facilities would mar visual aesthetic within 28 scenic areas. Nine hazardous waste sites could be encountered during construction. The levels of three transportation-related air pollutants would increase somewhat in the immediate corridor and, to a lesser degree, throughout the region.

The concepts evaluated include the No-Build Alternative, transportation systems management alternative, and a range of conceptual build alternatives consisting of roadway improvements and improvements to Norfolk Southern's Shenandoah and Piedmont rail lines in Virginia. The rail study area consists of 13 discrete sections along the existing rail lines, ranging in length from les than 0.5 mile to 10 miles; most of the study sections are between one and two miles. For both the rail and the highway improvements, the rights-of-way corridor was set out to extend 500 feet from either side of the facility centerline. For the highway build concepts, No Toll, Low Toll, and High Toll scenarios are assessed. Upon completion of the Tier 1 study, decisions would be made on the improvement concepts for the roadway and rail facilities; on advancing I-81 as a toll pilot under Section 1216(b) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 Century; on the projects with independent utility and logical termini to be studies during Tier 2; on levels of Tier 2 environmental documents for those projects; and on the location of the corridor for studying alignments during Tier 2 analyses. Costs of the rail and highway alternatives, respectively, range from $100,000 million to $3.7 billion and from $5.1 billion to $7.5 billion. Costs of combination rail/road concepts range from $5.6 billion to $8.0 billion. Separated lane highway construction costs range fro $11.2 million to $13 billion. All foregoing costs are expressed in 2005 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of lanes to the I-81 corridor, as proposed, would significantly increase the capacity and safety of the facility. Adjustments to highway geometrics would further address safety problems, particularly with those related to turning speeds and sight distances. Rail improvements would decrease truck and passenger vehicle traffic within the highway corridor and reduce the associated air pollutant levels. Improved transportation would boost local economies, easing the movement of employees and other travelers and of goods and services across the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of over 7,000 acres of developed land, 1,000 acres of farmland, 41 to 71 acres of wetlands, 24.5 to 36.4 miles of stream, 411 to 580 acres of 100-year floodplain, 926 to 2,068 residences, 663 to 898 businesses, five community facilities, 53 to 86 parks acres of parks and other recreational lands, 12 to 34 acres of open space easements, 1,226 to 1,635 acres of battlefields, 52 to 51.5 acres within historic districts eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and 21 to 22 historic structures and one archaeological site eligible for inclusion in the register. Habitat for 13 or 13 special status species would be affected. A total of 20 block groups of minority populations and 27 low-income populations would experience disproportionate impacts. Highway facilities would mar visual aesthetic within 28 scenic areas. Nine hazardous waste sites could be encountered during construction. The levels of three transportation-related air pollutants would increase somewhat in the immediate corridor and, to a lesser degree, throughout the region.

[Part 27 of 39] T2 - I-81 CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT STUDY, VIRGINIA: FROM THE TENNESSEE BORDER TO THE WEST VIRGINIA BORDER. AN - 36382073; 050147D-050510_0027 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of transportation improvements along Interstate 81 (I-81) in Virginia extending 325 miles from the Tennessee border to the West Virginia border is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest to northeast direction from western Virginia at the Tennessee border north to the West Virginia border, passing through 21 cities and towns, and 13 counties. In addition to capacity deficiencies, the corridor is currently characterized by engineering design flaws the reduce vehicular maneuverability as well as sight distances. Accident rates along the corridor are excessive, particularly for trucks. This Tier 1 draft EIS addresses the need to increase capacity and improve safety along the corridor and evaluates conceptual-level improvements in addressing those needs. The concepts evaluated include the No-Build Alternative, transportation systems management alternative, and a range of conceptual build alternatives consisting of roadway improvements and improvements to Norfolk Southern's Shenandoah and Piedmont rail lines in Virginia. The rail study area consists of 13 discrete sections along the existing rail lines, ranging in length from les than 0.5 mile to 10 miles; most of the study sections are between one and two miles. For both the rail and the highway improvements, the rights-of-way corridor was set out to extend 500 feet from either side of the facility centerline. For the highway build concepts, No Toll, Low Toll, and High Toll scenarios are assessed. Upon completion of the Tier 1 study, decisions would be made on the improvement concepts for the roadway and rail facilities; on advancing I-81 as a toll pilot under Section 1216(b) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 Century; on the projects with independent utility and logical termini to be studies during Tier 2; on levels of Tier 2 environmental documents for those projects; and on the location of the corridor for studying alignments during Tier 2 analyses. Costs of the rail and highway alternatives, respectively, range from $100,000 million to $3.7 billion and from $5.1 billion to $7.5 billion. Costs of combination rail/road concepts range from $5.6 billion to $8.0 billion. Separated lane highway construction costs range fro $11.2 million to $13 billion. All foregoing costs are expressed in 2005 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of lanes to the I-81 corridor, as proposed, would significantly increase the capacity and safety of the facility. Adjustments to highway geometrics would further address safety problems, particularly with those related to turning speeds and sight distances. Rail improvements would decrease truck and passenger vehicle traffic within the highway corridor and reduce the associated air pollutant levels. Improved transportation would boost local economies, easing the movement of employees and other travelers and of goods and services across the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of over 7,000 acres of developed land, 1,000 acres of farmland, 41 to 71 acres of wetlands, 24.5 to 36.4 miles of stream, 411 to 580 acres of 100-year floodplain, 926 to 2,068 residences, 663 to 898 businesses, five community facilities, 53 to 86 parks acres of parks and other recreational lands, 12 to 34 acres of open space easements, 1,226 to 1,635 acres of battlefields, 52 to 51.5 acres within historic districts eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and 21 to 22 historic structures and one archaeological site eligible for inclusion in the register. Habitat for 13 or 13 special status species would be affected. A total of 20 block groups of minority populations and 27 low-income populations would experience disproportionate impacts. Highway facilities would mar visual aesthetic within 28 scenic areas. Nine hazardous waste sites could be encountered during construction. The levels of three transportation-related air pollutants would increase somewhat in the immediate corridor and, to a lesser degree, throughout the region.

This Tier 1 draft EIS addresses the need to increase capacity and improve safety along the corridor and evaluates conceptual-level improvements in addressing those needs. The concepts evaluated include the No-Build Alternative, transportation systems management alternative, and a range of conceptual build alternatives consisting of roadway improvements and improvements to Norfolk Southern's Shenandoah and Piedmont rail lines in Virginia. The rail study area consists of 13 discrete sections along the existing rail lines, ranging in length from les than 0.5 mile to 10 miles; most of the study sections are between one and two miles. For both the rail and the highway improvements, the rights-of-way corridor was set out to extend 500 feet from either side of the facility centerline. For the highway build concepts, No Toll, Low Toll, and High Toll scenarios are assessed. Upon completion of the Tier 1 study, decisions would be made on the improvement concepts for the roadway and rail facilities; on advancing I-81 as a toll pilot under Section 1216(b) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 Century; on the projects with independent utility and logical termini to be studies during Tier 2; on levels of Tier 2 environmental documents for those projects; and on the location of the corridor for studying alignments during Tier 2 analyses. Costs of the rail and highway alternatives, respectively, range from $100,000 million to $3.7 billion and from $5.1 billion to $7.5 billion. Costs of combination rail/road concepts range from $5.6 billion to $8.0 billion. Separated lane highway construction costs range fro $11.2 million to $13 billion. All foregoing costs are expressed in 2005 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of lanes to the I-81 corridor, as proposed, would significantly increase the capacity and safety of the facility. Adjustments to highway geometrics would further address safety problems, particularly with those related to turning speeds and sight distances. Rail improvements would decrease truck and passenger vehicle traffic within the highway corridor and reduce the associated air pollutant levels. Improved transportation would boost local economies, easing the movement of employees and other travelers and of goods and services across the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of over 7,000 acres of developed land, 1,000 acres of farmland, 41 to 71 acres of wetlands, 24.5 to 36.4 miles of stream, 411 to 580 acres of 100-year floodplain, 926 to 2,068 residences, 663 to 898 businesses, five community facilities, 53 to 86 parks acres of parks and other recreational lands, 12 to 34 acres of open space easements, 1,226 to 1,635 acres of battlefields, 52 to 51.5 acres within historic districts eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and 21 to 22 historic structures and one archaeological site eligible for inclusion in the register. Habitat for 13 or 13 special status species would be affected. A total of 20 block groups of minority populations and 27 low-income populations would experience disproportionate impacts. Highway facilities would mar visual aesthetic within 28 scenic areas. Nine hazardous waste sites could be encountered during construction. The levels of three transportation-related air pollutants would increase somewhat in the immediate corridor and, to a lesser degree, throughout the region.

[Part 30 of 39] T2 - I-81 CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT STUDY, VIRGINIA: FROM THE TENNESSEE BORDER TO THE WEST VIRGINIA BORDER. AN - 36373722; 050147D-050510_0030 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of transportation improvements along Interstate 81 (I-81) in Virginia extending 325 miles from the Tennessee border to the West Virginia border is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest to northeast direction from western Virginia at the Tennessee border north to the West Virginia border, passing through 21 cities and towns, and 13 counties. In addition to capacity deficiencies, the corridor is currently characterized by engineering design flaws the reduce vehicular maneuverability as well as sight distances. Accident rates along the corridor are excessive, particularly for trucks. This Tier 1 draft EIS addresses the need to increase capacity and improve safety along the corridor and evaluates conceptual-level improvements in addressing those needs. The concepts evaluated include the No-Build Alternative, transportation systems management alternative, and a range of conceptual build alternatives consisting of roadway improvements and improvements to Norfolk Southern's Shenandoah and Piedmont rail lines in Virginia. The rail study area consists of 13 discrete sections along the existing rail lines, ranging in length from les than 0.5 mile to 10 miles; most of the study sections are between one and two miles. For both the rail and the highway improvements, the rights-of-way corridor was set out to extend 500 feet from either side of the facility centerline. For the highway build concepts, No Toll, Low Toll, and High Toll scenarios are assessed. Upon completion of the Tier 1 study, decisions would be made on the improvement concepts for the roadway and rail facilities; on advancing I-81 as a toll pilot under Section 1216(b) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 Century; on the projects with independent utility and logical termini to be studies during Tier 2; on levels of Tier 2 environmental documents for those projects; and on the location of the corridor for studying alignments during Tier 2 analyses. Costs of the rail and highway alternatives, respectively, range from $100,000 million to $3.7 billion and from $5.1 billion to $7.5 billion. Costs of combination rail/road concepts range from $5.6 billion to $8.0 billion. Separated lane highway construction costs range fro $11.2 million to $13 billion. All foregoing costs are expressed in 2005 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of lanes to the I-81 corridor, as proposed, would significantly increase the capacity and safety of the facility. Adjustments to highway geometrics would further address safety problems, particularly with those related to turning speeds and sight distances. Rail improvements would decrease truck and passenger vehicle traffic within the highway corridor and reduce the associated air pollutant levels. Improved transportation would boost local economies, easing the movement of employees and other travelers and of goods and services across the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of over 7,000 acres of developed land, 1,000 acres of farmland, 41 to 71 acres of wetlands, 24.5 to 36.4 miles of stream, 411 to 580 acres of 100-year floodplain, 926 to 2,068 residences, 663 to 898 businesses, five community facilities, 53 to 86 parks acres of parks and other recreational lands, 12 to 34 acres of open space easements, 1,226 to 1,635 acres of battlefields, 52 to 51.5 acres within historic districts eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and 21 to 22 historic structures and one archaeological site eligible for inclusion in the register. Habitat for 13 or 13 special status species would be affected. A total of 20 block groups of minority populations and 27 low-income populations would experience disproportionate impacts. Highway facilities would mar visual aesthetic within 28 scenic areas. Nine hazardous waste sites could be encountered during construction. The levels of three transportation-related air pollutants would increase somewhat in the immediate corridor and, to a lesser degree, throughout the region.

This Tier 1 draft EIS addresses the need to increase capacity and improve safety along the corridor and evaluates conceptual-level improvements in addressing those needs. The concepts evaluated include the No-Build Alternative, transportation systems management alternative, and a range of conceptual build alternatives consisting of roadway improvements and improvements to Norfolk Southern's Shenandoah and Piedmont rail lines in Virginia. The rail study area consists of 13 discrete sections along the existing rail lines, ranging in length from les than 0.5 mile to 10 miles; most of the study sections are between one and two miles. For both the rail and the highway improvements, the rights-of-way corridor was set out to extend 500 feet from either side of the facility centerline. For the highway build concepts, No Toll, Low Toll, and High Toll scenarios are assessed. Upon completion of the Tier 1 study, decisions would be made on the improvement concepts for the roadway and rail facilities; on advancing I-81 as a toll pilot under Section 1216(b) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 Century; on the projects with independent utility and logical termini to be studies during Tier 2; on levels of Tier 2 environmental documents for those projects; and on the location of the corridor for studying alignments during Tier 2 analyses. Costs of the rail and highway alternatives, respectively, range from $100,000 million to $3.7 billion and from $5.1 billion to $7.5 billion. Costs of combination rail/road concepts range from $5.6 billion to $8.0 billion. Separated lane highway construction costs range fro $11.2 million to $13 billion. All foregoing costs are expressed in 2005 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of lanes to the I-81 corridor, as proposed, would significantly increase the capacity and safety of the facility. Adjustments to highway geometrics would further address safety problems, particularly with those related to turning speeds and sight distances. Rail improvements would decrease truck and passenger vehicle traffic within the highway corridor and reduce the associated air pollutant levels. Improved transportation would boost local economies, easing the movement of employees and other travelers and of goods and services across the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of over 7,000 acres of developed land, 1,000 acres of farmland, 41 to 71 acres of wetlands, 24.5 to 36.4 miles of stream, 411 to 580 acres of 100-year floodplain, 926 to 2,068 residences, 663 to 898 businesses, five community facilities, 53 to 86 parks acres of parks and other recreational lands, 12 to 34 acres of open space easements, 1,226 to 1,635 acres of battlefields, 52 to 51.5 acres within historic districts eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and 21 to 22 historic structures and one archaeological site eligible for inclusion in the register. Habitat for 13 or 13 special status species would be affected. A total of 20 block groups of minority populations and 27 low-income populations would experience disproportionate impacts. Highway facilities would mar visual aesthetic within 28 scenic areas. Nine hazardous waste sites could be encountered during construction. The levels of three transportation-related air pollutants would increase somewhat in the immediate corridor and, to a lesser degree, throughout the region.

[Part 37 of 39] T2 - I-81 CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT STUDY, VIRGINIA: FROM THE TENNESSEE BORDER TO THE WEST VIRGINIA BORDER. AN - 36369064; 050147D-050510_0037 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of transportation improvements along Interstate 81 (I-81) in Virginia extending 325 miles from the Tennessee border to the West Virginia border is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest to northeast direction from western Virginia at the Tennessee border north to the West Virginia border, passing through 21 cities and towns, and 13 counties. In addition to capacity deficiencies, the corridor is currently characterized by engineering design flaws the reduce vehicular maneuverability as well as sight distances. Accident rates along the corridor are excessive, particularly for trucks. This Tier 1 draft EIS addresses the need to increase capacity and improve safety along the corridor and evaluates conceptual-level improvements in addressing those needs. The concepts evaluated include the No-Build Alternative, transportation systems management alternative, and a range of conceptual build alternatives consisting of roadway improvements and improvements to Norfolk Southern's Shenandoah and Piedmont rail lines in Virginia. The rail study area consists of 13 discrete sections along the existing rail lines, ranging in length from les than 0.5 mile to 10 miles; most of the study sections are between one and two miles. For both the rail and the highway improvements, the rights-of-way corridor was set out to extend 500 feet from either side of the facility centerline. For the highway build concepts, No Toll, Low Toll, and High Toll scenarios are assessed. Upon completion of the Tier 1 study, decisions would be made on the improvement concepts for the roadway and rail facilities; on advancing I-81 as a toll pilot under Section 1216(b) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 Century; on the projects with independent utility and logical termini to be studies during Tier 2; on levels of Tier 2 environmental documents for those projects; and on the location of the corridor for studying alignments during Tier 2 analyses. Costs of the rail and highway alternatives, respectively, range from $100,000 million to $3.7 billion and from $5.1 billion to $7.5 billion. Costs of combination rail/road concepts range from $5.6 billion to $8.0 billion. Separated lane highway construction costs range fro $11.2 million to $13 billion. All foregoing costs are expressed in 2005 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of lanes to the I-81 corridor, as proposed, would significantly increase the capacity and safety of the facility. Adjustments to highway geometrics would further address safety problems, particularly with those related to turning speeds and sight distances. Rail improvements would decrease truck and passenger vehicle traffic within the highway corridor and reduce the associated air pollutant levels. Improved transportation would boost local economies, easing the movement of employees and other travelers and of goods and services across the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of over 7,000 acres of developed land, 1,000 acres of farmland, 41 to 71 acres of wetlands, 24.5 to 36.4 miles of stream, 411 to 580 acres of 100-year floodplain, 926 to 2,068 residences, 663 to 898 businesses, five community facilities, 53 to 86 parks acres of parks and other recreational lands, 12 to 34 acres of open space easements, 1,226 to 1,635 acres of battlefields, 52 to 51.5 acres within historic districts eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and 21 to 22 historic structures and one archaeological site eligible for inclusion in the register. Habitat for 13 or 13 special status species would be affected. A total of 20 block groups of minority populations and 27 low-income populations would experience disproportionate impacts. Highway facilities would mar visual aesthetic within 28 scenic areas. Nine hazardous waste sites could be encountered during construction. The levels of three transportation-related air pollutants would increase somewhat in the immediate corridor and, to a lesser degree, throughout the region.

This Tier 1 draft EIS addresses the need to increase capacity and improve safety along the corridor and evaluates conceptual-level improvements in addressing those needs. The concepts evaluated include the No-Build Alternative, transportation systems management alternative, and a range of conceptual build alternatives consisting of roadway improvements and improvements to Norfolk Southern's Shenandoah and Piedmont rail lines in Virginia. The rail study area consists of 13 discrete sections along the existing rail lines, ranging in length from les than 0.5 mile to 10 miles; most of the study sections are between one and two miles. For both the rail and the highway improvements, the rights-of-way corridor was set out to extend 500 feet from either side of the facility centerline. For the highway build concepts, No Toll, Low Toll, and High Toll scenarios are assessed. Upon completion of the Tier 1 study, decisions would be made on the improvement concepts for the roadway and rail facilities; on advancing I-81 as a toll pilot under Section 1216(b) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 Century; on the projects with independent utility and logical termini to be studies during Tier 2; on levels of Tier 2 environmental documents for those projects; and on the location of the corridor for studying alignments during Tier 2 analyses. Costs of the rail and highway alternatives, respectively, range from $100,000 million to $3.7 billion and from $5.1 billion to $7.5 billion. Costs of combination rail/road concepts range from $5.6 billion to $8.0 billion. Separated lane highway construction costs range fro $11.2 million to $13 billion. All foregoing costs are expressed in 2005 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of lanes to the I-81 corridor, as proposed, would significantly increase the capacity and safety of the facility. Adjustments to highway geometrics would further address safety problems, particularly with those related to turning speeds and sight distances. Rail improvements would decrease truck and passenger vehicle traffic within the highway corridor and reduce the associated air pollutant levels. Improved transportation would boost local economies, easing the movement of employees and other travelers and of goods and services across the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of over 7,000 acres of developed land, 1,000 acres of farmland, 41 to 71 acres of wetlands, 24.5 to 36.4 miles of stream, 411 to 580 acres of 100-year floodplain, 926 to 2,068 residences, 663 to 898 businesses, five community facilities, 53 to 86 parks acres of parks and other recreational lands, 12 to 34 acres of open space easements, 1,226 to 1,635 acres of battlefields, 52 to 51.5 acres within historic districts eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and 21 to 22 historic structures and one archaeological site eligible for inclusion in the register. Habitat for 13 or 13 special status species would be affected. A total of 20 block groups of minority populations and 27 low-income populations would experience disproportionate impacts. Highway facilities would mar visual aesthetic within 28 scenic areas. Nine hazardous waste sites could be encountered during construction. The levels of three transportation-related air pollutants would increase somewhat in the immediate corridor and, to a lesser degree, throughout the region.

Preparation date: December 2, 2005 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - I-81 CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT STUDY, VIRGINIA: FROM THE TENNESSEE BORDER TO THE WEST VIRGINIA BORDER. AN - 16355295; 11825 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of transportation improvements along Interstate 81 (I-81) in Virginia extending 325 miles from the Tennessee border to the West Virginia border is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest to northeast direction from western Virginia at the Tennessee border north to the West Virginia border, passing through 21 cities and towns, and 13 counties. In addition to capacity deficiencies, the corridor is currently characterized by engineering design flaws the reduce vehicular maneuverability as well as sight distances. Accident rates along the corridor are excessive, particularly for trucks. This Tier 1 draft EIS addresses the need to increase capacity and improve safety along the corridor and evaluates conceptual-level improvements in addressing those needs. The concepts evaluated include the No-Build Alternative, transportation systems management alternative, and a range of conceptual build alternatives consisting of roadway improvements and improvements to Norfolk Southern's Shenandoah and Piedmont rail lines in Virginia. The rail study area consists of 13 discrete sections along the existing rail lines, ranging in length from les than 0.5 mile to 10 miles; most of the study sections are between one and two miles. For both the rail and the highway improvements, the rights-of-way corridor was set out to extend 500 feet from either side of the facility centerline. For the highway build concepts, No Toll, Low Toll, and High Toll scenarios are assessed. Upon completion of the Tier 1 study, decisions would be made on the improvement concepts for the roadway and rail facilities; on advancing I-81 as a toll pilot under Section 1216(b) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 Century; on the projects with independent utility and logical termini to be studies during Tier 2; on levels of Tier 2 environmental documents for those projects; and on the location of the corridor for studying alignments during Tier 2 analyses. Costs of the rail and highway alternatives, respectively, range from $100,000 million to $3.7 billion and from $5.1 billion to $7.5 billion. Costs of combination rail/road concepts range from $5.6 billion to $8.0 billion. Separated lane highway construction costs range fro $11.2 million to $13 billion. All foregoing costs are expressed in 2005 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of lanes to the I-81 corridor, as proposed, would significantly increase the capacity and safety of the facility. Adjustments to highway geometrics would further address safety problems, particularly with those related to turning speeds and sight distances. Rail improvements would decrease truck and passenger vehicle traffic within the highway corridor and reduce the associated air pollutant levels. Improved transportation would boost local economies, easing the movement of employees and other travelers and of goods and services across the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of over 7,000 acres of developed land, 1,000 acres of farmland, 41 to 71 acres of wetlands, 24.5 to 36.4 miles of stream, 411 to 580 acres of 100-year floodplain, 926 to 2,068 residences, 663 to 898 businesses, five community facilities, 53 to 86 parks acres of parks and other recreational lands, 12 to 34 acres of open space easements, 1,226 to 1,635 acres of battlefields, 52 to 51.5 acres within historic districts eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and 21 to 22 historic structures and one archaeological site eligible for inclusion in the register. Habitat for 13 or 13 special status species would be affected. A total of 20 block groups of minority populations and 27 low-income populations would experience disproportionate impacts. Highway facilities would mar visual aesthetic within 28 scenic areas. Nine hazardous waste sites could be encountered during construction. The levels of three transportation-related air pollutants would increase somewhat in the immediate corridor and, to a lesser degree, throughout the region.

Changes in sulfur species were adjusted to account for meteorological variability. Adjustments were made using meteorological variables expressed in terms of their principal components that were used as predictors in statistical models. Several models were tested. A generalized additive model (GAM)-based in part on nonparametric, locally smoothed predictor functions-computed the greatest association between sulfate and the meteorological predictors. Sulfate trends estimated after a GAM-based adjustment for weather-related influences were found to be primarily downward across the eastern United States by as much as 6.7% per year (average of -2.6% per year), but large spatial variability was noted. The most conspicuous characteristic in the trends was over portions of the Appalachian Mountains where very small (average = -1.6% per year) and often insignificant sulfate changes were found. The Appalachian region also experienced a tendency, after removing meteorological influences, for increases in the ratio RS of sulfate sulfur to total sulfur. Before 1991, this ratio averaged 0.33 across all sites. Appalachian increases in RS were equivalent to 0.07 during 1989-2001 (significant for most sites at the 0.05 level), or nearly 2 times the average change at the other sites. This suggests that conditions over the Appalachians became notably more efficient at oxidizing SO2 into sulfate. Alternatively, subtle changes in local deposition patterns occurred, preferentially in and near mountainous monitoring sites, that changed the SO2-sulfate balance.

DO - http://dx.doi.org/10.1175/JAM2307.1 ER - TY - BOOK T1 - Screening aquatic plants for nitrate removal potential AN - 17138868; 6783696 AB - Constructed wetlands are being developed to remove nutrients from animal wastewater treatment systems to reduce pollution potential. Nitrate nitrogen (NO sub(3)-N) removal in wetlands occurs collectively via plant uptake, microbial assimilation, microbial immobilization and microbial denitrification. Denitrifying bacteria require low redox conditions and an organic carbon source to convert nitrate to nitrogen gas (N sub(2)). Certain plant species produce sugar-like compounds which are subsequently translocated to the root zone and leaked into the rhizosphere. This provides an available carbon source for enhancing denitrification. Studies were conducted at TVA's Constructed Wetland Research Center (Muscle Shoals, AL), to identify aquatic plant species that have the capacity to enhance removal of nitrate via plant uptake and denitrification. Replicated pot studies (6 replicates per treatment), were established in an environmentally controlled greenhouse to monitor the impact of eight plant species, and two rearing environments (open water vs. gravel substrate). Parameters monitored included redox potential and nitrate removal dynamics. Potassium nitrate (50 mg/L as N) was batch loaded into the pots on several occasions and monitored for eight day periods. Redox values were found to differ significantly among plant species and over sampling dates (P<0.05). Canary grass in gravel substrates had the lowest redox potential. Irrespective of plant species, redox potential trended lower over time. Canary grass, cattail, and common reed in gravel substrates removed nitrate to levels less than 10 mg/L within 4 days. Yellow iris and Parrots feather reduced nitrate to comparable levels after eight days. Dry matter plant production (g dry matter/pot) was significantly higher in gravel vs. water based systems (P<0.05). In gravel based systems, dry matter plant production ranged from less than 50 g/pot (dwarf papyrus) to over 135 g/pot (phragmites). In water based systems, dry matter plant production ranged from less than 10 g/pot (yellow iris) to 93 g/pot (cattail) JF - ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT SYMPOSIUM.

These measurements were conducted from 2 to 15 August 2002, at Look Rock, TN, at an air monitoring station located on a mountain ridge (elevation 800 m MSL) on the southwestern edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. A strong diurnal pattern was observed for gaseous NH sub(3) levels at this site with higher daytime and much lower NH sub(3) during the night hours. The diurnal variability of both gaseous NH sub(3) concentrations and RH suggests that conditions controlling aerosol nitrate formation and acidic aerosol neutralization are complex. The observations during this 2-week long sampling period showed that measurable NH sub(4)NO sub(3) aerosol was not present under the ambient conditions encountered. However, modest perturbations from observed ambient conditions could have enabled NH sub(4)NO sub(3) aerosol production. The extent of neutralization of sulfate aerosol collected on filters indicates that there was insufficient regional NH sub(3) to neutralize the acidic sulfate aerosols to the degree predicted from local NH sub(3) and RH conditions. Incomplete neutralization of acidic sulfate could also result if neutralization proceeds more slowly under field conditions compared to laboratory conditions or model predictions. Continuous measurements of aerosol ammonium and/or acidity are needed to determine if ammonia availability or kinetic limitations (or both) restrict neutralization of acidic sulfate aerosols, a key factor for modeling and exposure studies.

AN - 36437174; 11649 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 500-kilovolt (kV) transmission line in Stewart, Houston, Montgomery, Dickson, Chetham, and Davidson counties, Tennessee are proposed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). TVA has made few additions to its transmission system since the early 1980s. The electrical load growth in this region, which includes Nashville, will soon exceed the capacity of the high-voltage transmission lines serving it. The proposed transmission line would connect TVA's Cumberland Fossil Plant in Stewart County with either TVA's Montgomery 500-kV substation in Montgomery County or with TVA's Davidson 500-kV substation in Davidson County. This final EIS considers two study area alternatives, based on the two alternative transmission line destinations, as well as various corridors within each alternative study area; a No Action Alternative (Alternative 3) is also considered. The transmission line would extend 32 to 51 miles. The preferred alternative would extend between Cumberland and Montgomery. The features of the transmission line, as well as its construction and operation, are similar across all action alternatives. The line would use self-supporting, galvanized, laced steel structures from 85 to 125 feet in height. The average distance between structures would be approximately 1,000 feet. The electrical conductors would consist of thre sets of three cables suspended beneath the structure cross-arms by insulators. The line would occupy a right-of-way approximately 175 feet in width. The system would be served by permanent access roads. An additional bay containing a new 500-kV breaker would be provided at the switchyard associated with the Cumberland Fossil Plant. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new line would help maintain transmission system reliability pursuant to TVA's statutory responsibilities; minimize environmental impacts in meeting these responsibilities in keeping with TVA's commitment to resource stewardship; minimize costs as part of TVA's obligation to provide electric power at the lowest possible cost; and meet the in-service date of June 1, 2006, which is the earliest reasonably achievable date. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in the loss of forested land and the associated wildlife habitat; increased forest fragmentation; removal of the tree canopy at stream crossings; removal of existing buildings from the new rights-of-way; restrictions on future land uses in the rights-of-way; and degradation of visual quality along the corridor. Most trees and shrubs would be removed from the entire right-of-way width during construction. Trees outside the rights-of-way that are tall enough to damage the lines if they fall would also be removed. Several endangered plant and animal species are known to occur in the corridors of the preferred construction area. Wetlands could be affected. All corridors within the preferred area could affect properties that are listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

[Part 4 of 8] T2 - 500-KV TRANSMISSION LINE IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE, STEWART, HOUSTON, MONTOMERY, DICKSON, CHEATHAM, AND DAVIDSON COUNTIES, TENNESSEE. AN - 36378314; 050480F-050296_0004 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 500-kilovolt (kV) transmission line in Stewart, Houston, Montgomery, Dickson, Chetham, and Davidson counties, Tennessee are proposed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). TVA has made few additions to its transmission system since the early 1980s. The electrical load growth in this region, which includes Nashville, will soon exceed the capacity of the high-voltage transmission lines serving it. The proposed transmission line would connect TVA's Cumberland Fossil Plant in Stewart County with either TVA's Montgomery 500-kV substation in Montgomery County or with TVA's Davidson 500-kV substation in Davidson County. This final EIS considers two study area alternatives, based on the two alternative transmission line destinations, as well as various corridors within each alternative study area; a No Action Alternative (Alternative 3) is also considered. The transmission line would extend 32 to 51 miles. The preferred alternative would extend between Cumberland and Montgomery. The features of the transmission line, as well as its construction and operation, are similar across all action alternatives. The line would use self-supporting, galvanized, laced steel structures from 85 to 125 feet in height. The average distance between structures would be approximately 1,000 feet. The electrical conductors would consist of thre sets of three cables suspended beneath the structure cross-arms by insulators. The line would occupy a right-of-way approximately 175 feet in width. The system would be served by permanent access roads. An additional bay containing a new 500-kV breaker would be provided at the switchyard associated with the Cumberland Fossil Plant. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new line would help maintain transmission system reliability pursuant to TVA's statutory responsibilities; minimize environmental impacts in meeting these responsibilities in keeping with TVA's commitment to resource stewardship; minimize costs as part of TVA's obligation to provide electric power at the lowest possible cost; and meet the in-service date of June 1, 2006, which is the earliest reasonably achievable date. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in the loss of forested land and the associated wildlife habitat; increased forest fragmentation; removal of the tree canopy at stream crossings; removal of existing buildings from the new rights-of-way; restrictions on future land uses in the rights-of-way; and degradation of visual quality along the corridor. Most trees and shrubs would be removed from the entire right-of-way width during construction. Trees outside the rights-of-way that are tall enough to damage the lines if they fall would also be removed.

The electrical load growth in this region, which includes Nashville, will soon exceed the capacity of the high-voltage transmission lines serving it. The proposed transmission line would connect TVA's Cumberland Fossil Plant in Stewart County with either TVA's Montgomery 500-kV substation in Montgomery County or with TVA's Davidson 500-kV substation in Davidson County. This final EIS considers two study area alternatives, based on the two alternative transmission line destinations, as well as various corridors within each alternative study area; a No Action Alternative (Alternative 3) is also considered. The transmission line would extend 32 to 51 miles. The preferred alternative would extend between Cumberland and Montgomery. The features of the transmission line, as well as its construction and operation, are similar across all action alternatives. The line would use self-supporting, galvanized, laced steel structures from 85 to 125 feet in height. The average distance between structures would be approximately 1,000 feet. The electrical conductors would consist of thre sets of three cables suspended beneath the structure cross-arms by insulators. The line would occupy a right-of-way approximately 175 feet in width. The system would be served by permanent access roads. An additional bay containing a new 500-kV breaker would be provided at the switchyard associated with the Cumberland Fossil Plant. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new line would help maintain transmission system reliability pursuant to TVA's statutory responsibilities; minimize environmental impacts in meeting these responsibilities in keeping with TVA's commitment to resource stewardship; minimize costs as part of TVA's obligation to provide electric power at the lowest possible cost; and meet the in-service date of June 1, 2006, which is the earliest reasonably achievable date. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in the loss of forested land and the associated wildlife habitat; increased forest fragmentation; removal of the tree canopy at stream crossings; removal of existing buildings from the new rights-of-way; restrictions on future land uses in the rights-of-way; and degradation of visual quality along the corridor. Most trees and shrubs would be removed from the entire right-of-way width during construction. Trees outside the rights-of-way that are tall enough to damage the lines if they fall would also be removed. Several endangered plant and animal species are known to occur in the corridors of the preferred construction area. Wetlands could be affected. All corridors within the preferred area could affect properties that are listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

However, the value of continuous short-time resolution sampling (1 h or less) is recognized and being included in US EPA-monitoring strategies. An extensive body of fine mass concentration data has been acquired using continuous PM sub(2.5) monitoring by TEOM at Look Rock, TN, augmented by trace gas measurements and, during enhanced monitoring periods, continuous sampling for aerosol sulfate (2 methods) and elemental (black) carbon. Continuous data are compared to the 24 h-averaged values of mass and composition from integrated samplers at the site, and for fine mass and sulfate are found to be excellent (, r super(2)=0.97-0.99, ). We then report the diurnal variations in concentrations from extensive continuous monitoring during 3 summer periods (2000-2002) and for more limited periods throughout calendar year 2001. Levels of the several continuously measured gases and particulate constituents vary in magnitude diurnally according to expected patterns based on their emissions, their formation and loss processes, their lifetimes toward wet and dry deposition, the dynamics of up-slope; down-slope circulation, and solar-driven boundary layer growth and decay. Thus, concentrations of short-lifetime gases have minima at sunrise and maxima in the evening. Long-lived primary species (CO and black carbon) increase in mid-morning as the boundary layer height reaches the site and decay thereafter. Long-lived secondary species (sulfate and fine mass) show little diurnal variability. Factors controlling the observed diurnal variability thus significantly influence the extent and timing of human exposure to pollutant species, as well as affecting visibility impairment in complex terrain environments near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 (TWENTY-FIRST FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36374783; 050478F-050270_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Browns Ferry Nuclear (BFN) Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3 in rural Alabama is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 21st supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, the Tennessee Valley Authority, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the three units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed units 1, 2, and 3 would be shutdown on or before expiration of the current licenses, the dates of which are December 20, 2013, June 28, 2014, and July 2, 2016 and, respectively. The 840-acre power station site is located on federally owned land abutting the Wheeler Reservoir, 30 miles west of Huntsville, Alabama, characterized by agricultural land uses and recreational uses, including fishing and recreational boaters. Each unit employs a boiling water reactor and a steam-driven turbine generator manufactured by General Electric Corporation. Each unit was licensed for an output of 3,293 megawatts-thermal (MW(t)). Commercial operation for units, 1, 2, and 3, began in 1974, 1975, and 1977 respectively. Unit 1 is inactive; work began in 2002 to bring Unit 1 up to current standards, and operation of the reactor is currently scheduled to resume 2007. All three units were shutdown in 1985 during a review of the TVA nuclear power program. Unit 2 returned to service in 1991, and Unit 3 resumed operation in November 1995. The BNF Plant completed an integrated plant improvement project for units 2 and 3; among improvement made were a five percent uprate in the original licensed thermal power for both units from 3,293to 3,458 MW(t). In June 2004, TVA submitted applications for extended power upates to 120 percent of the original licensed thermal power at each of the three BNF Plant units. These applications, if approved by the staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would take effect during the existing license terms, so the impacts of this uprate are considered in this supplemental EIS. All units feature two-loop, closed-cycle, pressurized-water reactors, licensed for a calculated electrical output of approximately 1,065 megawatts-electric (MW(e)). The units employ reactor coolant recalculating loops to the and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel; the cooling system withdraws water from the Wheeler Reservoir and discharges heated water back to the reservoir. The reactor is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Seven 500-kilovolt (kV) connect the 500-kV BNF Plant switchyard to the transmission lines; one line transmits power to the Trinity substation, one line each to the West Point, Maury, and Union (Mississippi) substations, and one line to the Livestone substation. In addition, two 161-kV lines, one connecting the Athens substation and the other to the Trinity substation. All lines use a portion of four transmission line rights-of-way, one to the Maury substation, one to the Trinity substation, one to the Athens substation, and one to the Union substation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Wheeler Reservoir and deliver makeup water back to the Sound. Release of water to the Sound from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the Sound. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclide into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace other land uses for public use. Refusal to renew the license and the subsequent decommissioning of the units could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

AN - 36374867; 050544D-050197_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the 1988 Land Management Plan for the Watts Bar Reservoir in Loudon, Meigs, Rhea, and Roane counties, Tennessee is proposed. The plan addresses 16,00 acres of public land administered by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). The Watts Bar Reservoir, which is part of the Watts Project, is a multipurpose reservoir operated by TVA for navigation, flood control, power production, recreation, and economic development. The reservoir extends 72.4 miles up the Tennessee River to Fort Loudon Dam and 62.5 miles to Melton Hill Dam on the Clinch River. It also inundated portions of the Emory and Little Emory rivers. The impoundments has a shoreline length of 721 miles. The new land management plan would guide land use approvals, private water use facility permitting, and resource management decisions. Land allocation categories would include project operations, sensitive resource management, natural resource conservation, economic development, developed recreation, and shoreline access. Three Alternatives, including a No Action alternatives (Alternative A), which would continue the application of the 1988 management plan, are considered in this draft EIS. Alternatives B and C would allocate additional public lands on the reservoir that were not previously allocated in the 1988 plan. Alternative B would update the plan to provide for a stronger emphasis on economic development and recreation. TVA would enhance economic and recreation potential by allocating nine parcels to economic development and developed recreation. Alternative C would update the plan to provide a stronger emphasis on natural resource conservation and informal recreation activities. Under Alternative C, TVA would enhance conservation and informal recreation by allocating 12 parcels to natural resource conservation or developed recreation and implement all of the proposed integrated resource management activities. These additional lanes include narrow shoreline strips, TVA operations areas, and lands committed under legal agreements. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide for a systematic update of land use planning to evaluate and identify the most suitable uses of public land under TVA stewardship. The integrated resource management plan resulting from this process would allow for management of multiple public uses and resources on lands allocated for project uses. Under Alternative C, the greatest extent of land would be allocated for natural resource conservation. This alternative would provide the greatest protection for threatened and endangered species, with no impacts to sensitive plants and beneficial impacts for sensitive terrestrial and aquatic animals. Water quality would improve. Alternative C would also involve complete implementation of the integrated resource management plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Future residential, industrial, and recreational developments on property within or adjacent to the TVA boundary could degrade water quality in the reservoir and downstream reaches of the affected rivers. Up to 299 acres of prime farmland could be converted to other uses. Alternative B could result in the conversion of 1,500 acres of public land for private economic development and the conversion of 3,700 acres of high-quality terrestrial habitat for private economic developments, resulting in significant potential for habitat fragmentation as well as loss of habitat. Development at the Clinch River Breeder Site could result in impacts to the Grassy Creek Habitat Protection Area. Informal recreation opportunities would be lost at development sites. Alternative C would result in the conversion of 52 acres of public land to private economic development uses. Both alternatives would have minimal impacts to a marina due to development of a barge terminal, and both would result in some degradation of the visual aesthetics of the shoreline.

AN - 36370571; 050544D-050197_0005 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the 1988 Land Management Plan for the Watts Bar Reservoir in Loudon, Meigs, Rhea, and Roane counties, Tennessee is proposed. The plan addresses 16,00 acres of public land administered by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). The Watts Bar Reservoir, which is part of the Watts Project, is a multipurpose reservoir operated by TVA for navigation, flood control, power production, recreation, and economic development. The reservoir extends 72.4 miles up the Tennessee River to Fort Loudon Dam and 62.5 miles to Melton Hill Dam on the Clinch River. It also inundated portions of the Emory and Little Emory rivers. The impoundments has a shoreline length of 721 miles. The new land management plan would guide land use approvals, private water use facility permitting, and resource management decisions. Land allocation categories would include project operations, sensitive resource management, natural resource conservation, economic development, developed recreation, and shoreline access. Three Alternatives, including a No Action alternatives (Alternative A), which would continue the application of the 1988 management plan, are considered in this draft EIS. Alternatives B and C would allocate additional public lands on the reservoir that were not previously allocated in the 1988 plan. Alternative B would update the plan to provide for a stronger emphasis on economic development and recreation. TVA would enhance economic and recreation potential by allocating nine parcels to economic development and developed recreation. Alternative C would update the plan to provide a stronger emphasis on natural resource conservation and informal recreation activities. Under Alternative C, TVA would enhance conservation and informal recreation by allocating 12 parcels to natural resource conservation or developed recreation and implement all of the proposed integrated resource management activities. These additional lanes include narrow shoreline strips, TVA operations areas, and lands committed under legal agreements. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide for a systematic update of land use planning to evaluate and identify the most suitable uses of public land under TVA stewardship. The integrated resource management plan resulting from this process would allow for management of multiple public uses and resources on lands allocated for project uses. Under Alternative C, the greatest extent of land would be allocated for natural resource conservation. This alternative would provide the greatest protection for threatened and endangered species, with no impacts to sensitive plants and beneficial impacts for sensitive terrestrial and aquatic animals. Water quality would improve. Alternative C would also involve complete implementation of the integrated resource management plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Future residential, industrial, and recreational developments on property within or adjacent to the TVA boundary could degrade water quality in the reservoir and downstream reaches of the affected rivers. Up to 299 acres of prime farmland could be converted to other uses. Alternative B could result in the conversion of 1,500 acres of public land for private economic development and the conversion of 3,700 acres of high-quality terrestrial habitat for private economic developments, resulting in significant potential for habitat fragmentation as well as loss of habitat. Development at the Clinch River Breeder Site could result in impacts to the Grassy Creek Habitat Protection Area. Informal recreation opportunities would be lost at development sites. Alternative C would result in the conversion of 52 acres of public land to private economic development uses. Both alternatives would have minimal impacts to a marina due to development of a barge terminal, and both would result in some degradation of the visual aesthetics of the shoreline.

The plan addresses 16,00 acres of public land administered by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). The Watts Bar Reservoir, which is part of the Watts Project, is a multipurpose reservoir operated by TVA for navigation, flood control, power production, recreation, and economic development. The reservoir extends 72.4 miles up the Tennessee River to Fort Loudon Dam and 62.5 miles to Melton Hill Dam on the Clinch River. It also inundated portions of the Emory and Little Emory rivers. The impoundments has a shoreline length of 721 miles. The new land management plan would guide land use approvals, private water use facility permitting, and resource management decisions. Land allocation categories would include project operations, sensitive resource management, natural resource conservation, economic development, developed recreation, and shoreline access. Three Alternatives, including a No Action alternatives (Alternative A), which would continue the application of the 1988 management plan, are considered in this draft EIS. Alternatives B and C would allocate additional public lands on the reservoir that were not previously allocated in the 1988 plan. Alternative B would update the plan to provide for a stronger emphasis on economic development and recreation. TVA would enhance economic and recreation potential by allocating nine parcels to economic development and developed recreation. Alternative C would update the plan to provide a stronger emphasis on natural resource conservation and informal recreation activities. Under Alternative C, TVA would enhance conservation and informal recreation by allocating 12 parcels to natural resource conservation or developed recreation and implement all of the proposed integrated resource management activities. These additional lanes include narrow shoreline strips, TVA operations areas, and lands committed under legal agreements. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide for a systematic update of land use planning to evaluate and identify the most suitable uses of public land under TVA stewardship. The integrated resource management plan resulting from this process would allow for management of multiple public uses and resources on lands allocated for project uses. Under Alternative C, the greatest extent of land would be allocated for natural resource conservation. This alternative would provide the greatest protection for threatened and endangered species, with no impacts to sensitive plants and beneficial impacts for sensitive terrestrial and aquatic animals. Water quality would improve. Alternative C would also involve complete implementation of the integrated resource management plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Future residential, industrial, and recreational developments on property within or adjacent to the TVA boundary could degrade water quality in the reservoir and downstream reaches of the affected rivers. Up to 299 acres of prime farmland could be converted to other uses. Alternative B could result in the conversion of 1,500 acres of public land for private economic development and the conversion of 3,700 acres of high-quality terrestrial habitat for private economic developments, resulting in significant potential for habitat fragmentation as well as loss of habitat. Development at the Clinch River Breeder Site could result in impacts to the Grassy Creek Habitat Protection Area. Informal recreation opportunities would be lost at development sites. Alternative C would result in the conversion of 52 acres of public land to private economic development uses. Both alternatives would have minimal impacts to a marina due to development of a barge terminal, and both would result in some degradation of the visual aesthetics of the shoreline.

The objective of this study was to determine if there was a change in soil C concentration in an aggrading oak forest over a 26-yr interval. Using permanently identified points on the Camp Branch Experimental Watershed, soil samples were first collected in July of 1976 and archived. During July of 2002, 11 points covering 6 of the 18 soil series present on the watershed were resampled. The series chosen represent a range in topographic positions and forest cover types. In both 1976 and 2002, a bucket auger was used to collect samples at depth intervals of 0 to 10, 10 to 30, and 30 to 50 cm. Both sample sets were analyzed in 2002 using a loss on combustion technique to determine organic C concentration. A bootstrapping data analysis indicated an increase (95% confidence interval) in the concentration of C in the 0- to 10-cm depth. No change in C concentration occurred in the 10- to 30- or 30- to 50-cm samples. Average soil C concentration in the 0- to 10-cm samples increased from a mean of 20.8 g kg-1 in 1976 to 35.9 g kg-1 in 2002. Among soil series, concentrations ranged from 9.5 to 28.9 g kg-1 in 1976 and 22.1 to 64.7 g kg-1 in 2002. Although the sample numbers are limited, results indicate that average soil C concentration in the top 10 cm of the mineral soil increased by 73% at this site over a 26-yr interval.

AN - 36437479; 11743 AB - PURPOSE: The completion of State Route (SR) 397 (Mack Hatcher Parkway) around the city of Franklin in Williamson County, Tennessee is proposed. The eight- to 10-mile project would extend from US 31 (State Route 6, Columbia Avenue) south of Franklin to US 431 (State Route 106, Hillsboro Road) north of Franklin in Williamson County, Tennessee. The facility would be a four-lane, divided, limited-access facility within rights-of-way 250 feet in width, with narrowing to 104 feet in selected locations, on a new alignment. The typical cross-section would be developed to accommodate six lanes in the future. The first build section would lie within the restricted 104-foot rights-of-way, providing five lanes, with a 12-foot center turn lane, and an urban section with shoulders and standard 2.5-foot curb-and-gutter sections. Combined with the existing parkway, this extension would create a complete loop around the city of Franklin and provide needed connectivity thought the region. The design speed would be 60 miles per hour. The existing Mark Thatcher is currently classified as an urban principle arterial. Six build alternatives and a No-Build Alternative were considered in the draft EIS of November 2004. This draft supplement to the draft EIS addresses an additional build alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Regardless of the build alternative selected, the project would improve local circulation, reduce traffic congestion in downtown Franklin, improve access to Interstate 65 and other regional destinations, reduce travel times, lower vehicular operating costs, and improve air quality. The Tennessee Valley Authority wishes to locate a new powerline and substation within the study area and hopes to locate the line adjacent to the transportation corridor in an effort to reduce environmental impacts in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the alternative selected, the new facility would require relocation of a limited number of residential and commercial properties and conversion of open, rural land to public use. More specifically, the project would displace one or two businesses and up to 19 residential properties and 210 to 280 acres of farmland. The highway would affect the Harpeth River Historic District. Sensitive receptor sites would experience noise levels in excess of federal standards in some areas along the corridor.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - STATE HIGHWAY 397 (MACK HATCHER PARKWAY EXTENSION), FROM US 31 (STATE ROUTE 6, COLUMBIA AVENUE), SOUTH OF FRANKLIN TO US 431 (STATE ROUTE 106, HILLSBORO ROAD NORTH OF RRANKLIN, FRANKLIN, WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMETNAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF NOVEMBER 2004). AN - 36379611; 040124F-050375_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The completion of State Route (SR) 397 (Mack Hatcher Parkway) around the city of Franklin in Williamson County, Tennessee is proposed. The eight- to 10-mile project would extend from US 31 (State Route 6, Columbia Avenue) south of Franklin to US 431 (State Route 106, Hillsboro Road) north of Franklin in Williamson County, Tennessee. The facility would be a four-lane, divided, limited-access facility within rights-of-way 250 feet in width, with narrowing to 104 feet in selected locations, on a new alignment. The typical cross-section would be developed to accommodate six lanes in the future. The first build section would lie within the restricted 104-foot rights-of-way, providing five lanes, with a 12-foot center turn lane, and an urban section with shoulders and standard 2.5-foot curb-and-gutter sections. Combined with the existing parkway, this extension would create a complete loop around the city of Franklin and provide needed connectivity thought the region. The design speed would be 60 miles per hour. The existing Mark Thatcher is currently classified as an urban principle arterial. Six build alternatives and a No-Build Alternative were considered in the draft EIS of November 2004. This draft supplement to the draft EIS addresses an additional build alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Regardless of the build alternative selected, the project would improve local circulation, reduce traffic congestion in downtown Franklin, improve access to Interstate 65 and other regional destinations, reduce travel times, lower vehicular operating costs, and improve air quality. The Tennessee Valley Authority wishes to locate a new powerline and substation within the study area and hopes to locate the line adjacent to the transportation corridor in an effort to reduce environmental impacts in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the alternative selected, the new facility would require relocation of a limited number of residential and commercial properties and conversion of open, rural land to public use. More specifically, the project would displace one or two businesses and up to 19 residential properties and 210 to 280 acres of farmland. The highway would affect the Harpeth River Historic District. Sensitive receptor sites would experience noise levels in excess of federal standards in some areas along the corridor.

AN - 36367959; 050126D-050387_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 65-mile segment of transcontinental interstate highway (Interstate 69 (I-69)) beginning at State Route (SR) 385 (Paul Barrett Parkway) in Millinton, north to I-155 at Dyersburg in Selby, Tipton, Lauderdale counties, Tennessee is proposed. The facility currently serving the corridor will be heavily congested from the US 51 Bypass around Dyersbjurg to the I-155 with an unacceptably low level of service by the year 2010. By 2030, virtually all segments of US 51 would be congested, with several segments reaching the lowest gradable level of service. The proposed four-lane, controlled access facility would constitute an independent utility segment of Corridor 18, a congressionally mandated high priority transportation corridor, designated as I-69. Portions of the roadway would follow a new alignment, but one section of one build alternative would following existing US 51. Ten build alternatives, which constitute corridor options and a No-Build Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. Depending on the build alternative considered, cost of the project ranges from $492.4 million to $601.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to completing an unfinished portion of High Priority Corridor 18 and I-69. Local motorists would benefit from the upgrading of the currently substandard level of service along US 51 within the study corridor in an area where modal connections are substandard to inadequate. Economic development in the region served by the facility would be enhanced significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the build alternative selected, rights-of-way development would displace 59 to 111 residences, two to four businesses, 11.9 to 100.4 acres of wetlands, and 328.5 to 844 acres of floodplain. Vegetation and habitat, including wetland habitat, associated with the displaced natural soils and waters would be permanently lost, and development spurred by the presence of high-profile, high-volume highway would displace additional natural and social resources. Access to some locations that currently are open to access from the facility would be lost.

AN - 36370718; 11298-040559_0004 AB - PURPOSE: The completion of State Route (SR) 397 (Mack Hatcher Parkway) around the city of Franklin in Williamson County, Tennessee is proposed. The eight to ten-mile project would extend from US 31 (State Route 6, Columbia Avenue) south of Franklin to US 431 (State Route 106, Hillsboro Road) north of Franklin in Williamson County, Tennessee. Facility would be a four-lane, divided, limited-access facility within rights-of-way 250 feet in width, with narrowing to 104 feet in selected locations, on a new alignment. The typical cross-section would be developed to accommodate six lanes in the future. The first build section would lie within the restricted 104-foot rights-of-way, providing five lanes, with a 12-foot center turn lane, and an urban section with shoulders and standard 2.5-foot curb-and-gutter sections. Combined with the existing parkway, this extension would create a complete loop around the city of Franklin and provide needed connectivity throughout the region. The design speed would be 60 miles per hour. The existing Mack Hatcher is currently classified as an urban principle arterial. Six build alternatives and a No-Build Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: regardless of the build alternative selected, the project would improve local circulation, reduce traffic congestion in downtown Franklin, improve access to Interstate 65 and other regional destinations, reduce travel times, lower vehicular operating costs, and improve air quality. The Tennessee Valley Authority wishes to locate a new powerline and substation within the study area and hopes to locate the line adjacent to the transportation corridor in an effort to reduce environmental impacts in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the alternative selected, the new facility would require relocation of a limited number of residential and commercial properties and conversion of open, rural land to public use. More specifically, the project would displace one or two businesses and up to 19 residential properties {4-14} and 210 to 280 acres of farmland. {4-2} the highway would affect the Harpeth River Historic District. Sensitive receptor sites would experience noise levels in excess of federal standards in some areas along the corridor.

AN - 36369239; 11298-040559_0005 AB - PURPOSE: The completion of State Route (SR) 397 (Mack Hatcher Parkway) around the city of Franklin in Williamson County, Tennessee is proposed. The eight to ten-mile project would extend from US 31 (State Route 6, Columbia Avenue) south of Franklin to US 431 (State Route 106, Hillsboro Road) north of Franklin in Williamson County, Tennessee. Facility would be a four-lane, divided, limited-access facility within rights-of-way 250 feet in width, with narrowing to 104 feet in selected locations, on a new alignment. The typical cross-section would be developed to accommodate six lanes in the future. The first build section would lie within the restricted 104-foot rights-of-way, providing five lanes, with a 12-foot center turn lane, and an urban section with shoulders and standard 2.5-foot curb-and-gutter sections. Combined with the existing parkway, this extension would create a complete loop around the city of Franklin and provide needed connectivity throughout the region. The design speed would be 60 miles per hour. The existing Mack Hatcher is currently classified as an urban principle arterial. Six build alternatives and a No-Build Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: regardless of the build alternative selected, the project would improve local circulation, reduce traffic congestion in downtown Franklin, improve access to Interstate 65 and other regional destinations, reduce travel times, lower vehicular operating costs, and improve air quality. The Tennessee Valley Authority wishes to locate a new powerline and substation within the study area and hopes to locate the line adjacent to the transportation corridor in an effort to reduce environmental impacts in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the alternative selected, the new facility would require relocation of a limited number of residential and commercial properties and conversion of open, rural land to public use. More specifically, the project would displace one or two businesses and up to 19 residential properties {4-14} and 210 to 280 acres of farmland. {4-2} the highway would affect the Harpeth River Historic District. Sensitive receptor sites would experience noise levels in excess of federal standards in some areas along the corridor.

AN - 36367863; 11298-040559_0006 AB - PURPOSE: The completion of State Route (SR) 397 (Mack Hatcher Parkway) around the city of Franklin in Williamson County, Tennessee is proposed. The eight to ten-mile project would extend from US 31 (State Route 6, Columbia Avenue) south of Franklin to US 431 (State Route 106, Hillsboro Road) north of Franklin in Williamson County, Tennessee. Facility would be a four-lane, divided, limited-access facility within rights-of-way 250 feet in width, with narrowing to 104 feet in selected locations, on a new alignment. The typical cross-section would be developed to accommodate six lanes in the future. The first build section would lie within the restricted 104-foot rights-of-way, providing five lanes, with a 12-foot center turn lane, and an urban section with shoulders and standard 2.5-foot curb-and-gutter sections. Combined with the existing parkway, this extension would create a complete loop around the city of Franklin and provide needed connectivity throughout the region. The design speed would be 60 miles per hour. The existing Mack Hatcher is currently classified as an urban principle arterial. Six build alternatives and a No-Build Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: regardless of the build alternative selected, the project would improve local circulation, reduce traffic congestion in downtown Franklin, improve access to Interstate 65 and other regional destinations, reduce travel times, lower vehicular operating costs, and improve air quality. The Tennessee Valley Authority wishes to locate a new powerline and substation within the study area and hopes to locate the line adjacent to the transportation corridor in an effort to reduce environmental impacts in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the alternative selected, the new facility would require relocation of a limited number of residential and commercial properties and conversion of open, rural land to public use. More specifically, the project would displace one or two businesses and up to 19 residential properties {4-14} and 210 to 280 acres of farmland. {4-2} the highway would affect the Harpeth River Historic District. Sensitive receptor sites would experience noise levels in excess of federal standards in some areas along the corridor.

AN - 36365330; 11298-040559_0015 AB - PURPOSE: The completion of State Route (SR) 397 (Mack Hatcher Parkway) around the city of Franklin in Williamson County, Tennessee is proposed. The eight to ten-mile project would extend from US 31 (State Route 6, Columbia Avenue) south of Franklin to US 431 (State Route 106, Hillsboro Road) north of Franklin in Williamson County, Tennessee. Facility would be a four-lane, divided, limited-access facility within rights-of-way 250 feet in width, with narrowing to 104 feet in selected locations, on a new alignment. The typical cross-section would be developed to accommodate six lanes in the future. The first build section would lie within the restricted 104-foot rights-of-way, providing five lanes, with a 12-foot center turn lane, and an urban section with shoulders and standard 2.5-foot curb-and-gutter sections. Combined with the existing parkway, this extension would create a complete loop around the city of Franklin and provide needed connectivity throughout the region. The design speed would be 60 miles per hour. The existing Mack Hatcher is currently classified as an urban principle arterial. Six build alternatives and a No-Build Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: regardless of the build alternative selected, the project would improve local circulation, reduce traffic congestion in downtown Franklin, improve access to Interstate 65 and other regional destinations, reduce travel times, lower vehicular operating costs, and improve air quality. The Tennessee Valley Authority wishes to locate a new powerline and substation within the study area and hopes to locate the line adjacent to the transportation corridor in an effort to reduce environmental impacts in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the alternative selected, the new facility would require relocation of a limited number of residential and commercial properties and conversion of open, rural land to public use. More specifically, the project would displace one or two businesses and up to 19 residential properties {4-14} and 210 to 280 acres of farmland. {4-2} the highway would affect the Harpeth River Historic District. Sensitive receptor sites would experience noise levels in excess of federal standards in some areas along the corridor.

Preparation date: December 13, 2004 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS: BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 (TWENTY-FIRST DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1996). AN - 36436135; 11302 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the operating licenses for Browns Ferry Nuclear (BFN) Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3 in rural Alabama is proposed to extend the licensed plant life for an additional 20 years in this 21st supplement to the final generic EIS of May 1996 on promulgation of rules for all license renewals. The final EIS of 1996 identified 92 environmental issues and reached generic conclusions relating to environmental impacts for 69 of these issues that apply to all plants or to plants with specific design or site characteristics. Neither the applicant, the Tennessee Valley Authority, nor staff at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified new information for any of the 69 issues. Additional plant-specific review is required for the remaining 23 issues, and these are addressed with respect to the three units in this supplement to the final EIS. If the license is renewed, federal and state agencies and the owners of the plant would go on to decide whether the plant should continue to operate; the decision would be based on factors such as the need for power. If the operating license is not renewed units 1, 2, and 3 would be shutdown on or before expiration of the current licenses, the dates of which are December 20, 2013, June 28, 2014, and July 2, 2016 and, respectively. The 840-acre power station site is located on federally owned land abutting the Wheeler Reservoir, 30 miles west of Huntsville, Alabama, characterized by agricultural land uses and recreational uses, including fishing and recreational boaters. Each unit employs a boiling water reactor and a steam-driven turbine generator manufactured by General Electric Corporation. Each unit was licensed for an output of 293M Megawatts-thermal (MW(t)). Commercial operation for units, 1, 2, and 3, began in 1974, 1975, and 1977 respectively. Unit 1 is inactive; work began in 2002 to bring Unit 1 up to current standards, and operation of the reactor is currently scheduled to resume 2007. All three units were shutdown in 1985 during a review of the TVA nuclear power program. Unit 2 returned to service in 1991, and Unit 3 resumed operation in November 1995. The BNF Plant completed an integrated plant improvement project for units 2 and 3; among improvements made were a five percent uprate in the original licensed thermal power for both units from 3,293to 3,458 MW(t). In June 2004, TVA submitted applications for extended power uprates to 120 percent of the original licensed thermal power at each of the three BNF Plant units. These applications, if approved by the staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would take effect during the existing license terms, so the impacts of this uprate are considered in this supplemental EIS. All units feature two-loop, closed-cycle, pressurized-water reactors, licensed for a calculated electrical output of approximately 1,065 megawatts-electric (MW(e)). The units employ reactor coolant recirculation loops to the and a steam generator connected to the reactor vessel; the cooling system withdraws water from the Wheeler Reservoir and discharges heated water back to the reservoir. The reactor is housed in a vertical, cylindrical, reinforced concrete containment structure with a steel liner. The facility uses liquid, gaseous, and solid radioactive waste management systems to collect and process wastes that are byproducts of operations. Nonradioactive wastes are collected and disposed of or recycled based on waste type. Seven 500-kilovolt (kV) connect the 500-kV BNF Plant switchyard to the transmission lines; one line transmits power to the Trinity substation, one line each to the West Point, Maury, and Union (Mississippi) substations, and one line to the Livestone substation. In addition, two 161-kV lines, one connecting to the Athens substation and the other to the Trinity substation. All lines use a portion of four transmission line rights-of-way, one to the Maruy substation, one to the Trinity substation, one to the Athens substation, and one to the Union substation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the license would allow the applicant to meet the needs of its regional energy purchasers. The plant site would continue to provide a number of diverse wildlife habitat types, and plant operation would continue to benefit certain fish and other aquatic species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the units would continue to withdraw process water from the Wheeler Reservoir and deliver makeup water back to the Sound. Release of water to the Sound from the cooling system would continue to result in a thermal plume affecting the near shore aquatic ecosystem. The auxiliary service water system would continue to withdraw water from the Sound. Diesel generators and boilers at the site would continue to release hydrocarbon and other criteria and related pollutants into the atmosphere. The unit would continue to release radionuclides into the surrounding area, but dose levels would be well within federal standards. Accidental releases, though highly unlikely, could result in radiation levels in excess of federal standards. Transmission line rights-of-way would continue to displace other land uses for public use. Refusal to renew the license and the subsequent decommissioning of the units could have greater impacts than license renewal and continuation of plant operation due to potential radiological impacts from releases during plant closure and transportation and disposal of the associated nuclear fuel.

AN - 36436854; 11297 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the general management plan for the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area (LBLNRA), Gold Pond, Kentucky to guide management in the area for the next 10 to 15 years. The LBLNRA, which was transferred by the Tennessee Valley Authority T(VA) to the National Forest Service by the TVA in 1999 was created to demonstrate that a land of limited resources could become a national asset that supports the development and growth of this region of the country. It is the center of a huge tourism industry and directly affects the health and economic Well being of the area. The LBLNRA will be an active recreation area that supports both specialized and general uses. Key issues identified during scoping are related to recreation and environmental education, vegetation management, and designation of special management areas. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative W), which would perpetuate the current TVA management regime, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would go forward with alternatives Y, with slight modifications over the draft proposal. Alternative Y would provide for more dispersed opportunities within the current mix of recreation and environmental education. The current principle of facility-based environmental education and some of the recreational opportunities centered on developed areas would shift into more forest-wide dispersed opportunities. Existing areas would be evaluated and identified for needed improvements and the potential for and the potential for realignment into other types of recreation and environmental opportunities. No current facilities would be closed, and no new facilities would be developed or reopened. Vegetation management efforts would emphasize the advancement of ecological diversity, sustaining of the health and viability of the forest and wildlife, and providing vibrant and desirable areas for recreation and environmental education. Alternative Y would best meet the needs of the public and the environment as it relates to the vegetation management and special area designation issues. The plan would include development of two oak-grassland demonstration areas, encompassing 8,000 acres; redesignation of the Deferred Biosphere Reserve Core Areas, encompassing 42,500 acres, to Biosphere Reserve Core Areas or general forest areas; development of two Nature View Demonstration Areas, encompassing 2,700 acres) for wildlife viewing, possible development of a rustic environmental education facility; combination of day-use sites to increase efficiencies; conversion of Turkey Bay to a day-use-only facility, with off-highway vehicle amenities offered in a nearby campground; upgrading of Turkey Bay's campground to provide amenities; increasing the use of prescribed fire to up to 10,000 acres, particularly in open lands, demonstration areas, and ecosystem restoration areas; and conversion of some poorly sited open lands/early successional habitats. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred plan would provide an optimum sustainable yield of recreation and environmental education opportunities; emphasize partnerships and cooperation with government agencies, private corporations, and citizen groups, and protect riparian areas, watershed conditions, forest resources, and the associated fish and wildlife habitat. Plan implementation would demonstrate and export widely innovative, efficient, and effective management techniques that would provide a model for future efforts of the same sort. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of recreation and environmental education facilities would result in the loss of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. Expected increases in visitation, particularly visitation by off-highway vehicle users, would place additional pressure on the NRA's recreational carrying capacity and natural resources. Prescribed burning would destroy vegetation, expose soils, and degrade local air quality in the short-term.

[Part 1 of 6] T2 - LAND BETWEEN THE LAKES NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, GOLD POND, KENTUCKY. AN - 36365163; 11297-040558_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the general management plan for the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area (LBLNRA), Gold Pond, Kentucky to guide management in the area for the next 10 to 15 years. The LBLNRA, which was transferred by the Tennessee Valley Authority T(VA) to the National Forest Service by the TVA in 1999 was created to demonstrate that a land of limited resources could become a national asset that supports the development and growth of this region of the country. It is the center of a huge tourism industry and directly affects the health and economic Well being of the area. The LBLNRA will be an active recreation area that supports both specialized and general uses. Key issues identified during scoping are related to recreation and environmental education, vegetation management, and designation of special management areas. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative W), which would perpetuate the current TVA management regime, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would go forward with alternatives Y, with slight modifications over the draft proposal. Alternative Y would provide for more dispersed opportunities within the current mix of recreation and environmental education. The current principle of facility-based environmental education and some of the recreational opportunities centered on developed areas would shift into more forest-wide dispersed opportunities. Existing areas would be evaluated and identified for needed improvements and the potential for and the potential for realignment into other types of recreation and environmental opportunities. No current facilities would be closed, and no new facilities would be developed or reopened. Vegetation management efforts would emphasize the advancement of ecological diversity, sustaining of the health and viability of the forest and wildlife, and providing vibrant and desirable areas for recreation and environmental education. Alternative Y would best meet the needs of the public and the environment as it relates to the vegetation management and special area designation issues. The plan would include development of two oak-grassland demonstration areas, encompassing 8,000 acres; redesignation of the Deferred Biosphere Reserve Core Areas, encompassing 42,500 acres, to Biosphere Reserve Core Areas or general forest areas; development of two Nature View Demonstration Areas, encompassing 2,700 acres) for wildlife viewing, possible development of a rustic environmental education facility; combination of day-use sites to increase efficiencies; conversion of Turkey Bay to a day-use-only facility, with off-highway vehicle amenities offered in a nearby campground; upgrading of Turkey Bay's campground to provide amenities; increasing the use of prescribed fire to up to 10,000 acres, particularly in open lands, demonstration areas, and ecosystem restoration areas; and conversion of some poorly sited open lands/early successional habitats. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred plan would provide an optimum sustainable yield of recreation and environmental education opportunities; emphasize partnerships and cooperation with government agencies, private corporations, and citizen groups, and protect riparian areas, watershed conditions, forest resources, and the associated fish and wildlife habitat. Plan implementation would demonstrate and export widely innovative, efficient, and effective management techniques that would provide a model for future efforts of the same sort. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of recreation and environmental education facilities would result in the loss of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. Expected increases in visitation, particularly visitation by off-highway vehicle users, would place additional pressure on the NRA's recreational carrying capacity and natural resources. Prescribed burning would destroy vegetation, expose soils, and degrade local air quality in the short-term.

I review previous work on assessing broad-scale stopover quality in the eastern United States and discuss how future research can aid regional environmental assessment. Scientists can quantify how environmental changes affect the migratory system, and then monitor for those effects on migrant abundance from year to year. The cyclical nature of migration provides a constant re-evaluation of habitat quality and spatial distribution by migrant birds. Avian monitoring programs can detect changes in migrant abundance. Migrating birds may thus provide a living sensor of environmental change, enabling broad-scale environmental assessments to detect and address habitat degradation early on, allowing local managers to prioritize restoration efforts accordingly. Understanding the environmental factors driving stopover selection, and how birds move between stopovers during migration, is an important first step.

Consistent with previous data, organic aerosols and sulfates are the two largest contributors to fine mass throughout the year at all three sites. Levels of major constituents were not significantly different at the rural and background sites during any season, but levels of organic and elemental carbon were higher at the urban site during fall and winter periods. Seasonal trends at all sites showed maxima in summer for sulfate and significant nitrate levels only in winter, but no significant seasonal trend was observed for organic aerosol mass at any site. Year-to-year variability in aerosol composition at the background site is small compared to day-to-day variability within seasons. The appropriate factor for converting organic carbon to organic mass (conventionally 1.4), used in calculating aerosol chemical composition, may vary with season; larger in warm seasons, smaller in cool seasons.

AN - 36364897; 10775-040223_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 40-mile segment of Interstate 69 (I-69) from the I-55/State Route (SR) 304 interchange in Hernando, Mississippi to the intersection of US 51 and SR 385 in Millington, Tennessee, DeSoto and Marshall counties, Mississippi and Shelby and Fayette counties, Tennessee is proposed. The project would constitute a segment of Corridor 18, which is a Congressionally-designated High Priority Transportation Corridor that will be designated as I-69. The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century extended Corridor 18 from Canada to Mexico. Certain segments of the roadway would be constructed on new location, while other segments would follow existing interstates and state highways built to interstate standards. The overall corridor has been divided into 32 Sections of Independent Utility (SIUs), SIUs are independent highway sections that are considered to be usable and involve a reasonable expenditure of public funds even if no other sections of I-69 were constructed. The proposed project discussed in this draft EIS is SIU 9. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, a systems approach alternative, and the proposed action, are considered in this EIS. Five alignment alternatives for I-69 are also considered. Alternative A would begin at the new I-55/MS 304 interchange and follow I-55, I-240, and I-40/240 through Memphis to SR 300. The existing interstate cross-sections through this area vary from six to eight lanes. At the SR/US 51 interchange, I-69 would follow one of two new location alternatives to the intersection of US 51 and SR 385 in Millington. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The overall I-69 project would provide an adequate corridor for the movement of freight between Canada and Mexico, improve international and interstate trade, increase regional accessibility, and improve transportation system linkages. Existing and anticipated traffic demands would be accommodated by the provision of a high-speed, access-controlled facility that would be responsive to traffic usage and enhance access between communities and routes within the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of 739 to 1,552 acres of rights-of-way would result in the displacement of 21 to 60 family residences, one to six businesses, 95 to 497 acres of farmland, and six to 69 acres of wetlands. The alignment would traverse 20 to 46 streams and forested wildlife habitat. From nine to 20 recorded archaeological sites would be disturbed.

The proposed project discussed in this final EIS is SIU 9. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, a systems approach alternative, and the proposed action, are considered in this EIS. Five alignment alternatives for I-69 are also considered. The preferred I-69 alternative (Alternative Alignment A-1 of the systems approach alternative) would extend westward from the SR 300/US 51 interchange for 0.7 mile before shifting north and crossing the Loosahatchie River, continue north on a new location for 14 miles, pass behind the BFI landfill and end at a proposed interchange with SIU 8 at Millington; this Alternative extends approximately 15.2 miles. The preferred I-269 alternative (Alternative Alignment A-1 of the systems approach alternative) would extend eastward from the new I-55/SR 304 interchange in Hernando, cross the Coldwater River and turn north to Collierville, cross the Coldwater River again and connect with the previously approved section of SR 385 south of Collierville, follow the approved SR 385 alignment to I-40, and follow existing ST 385 to the project terminus in Millington; Alternative Alignment B-1 would extend 28.6 miles. Estimated total cost of the preferred Alternatives is $764.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The overall I-69 project would provide an adequate corridor for the movement of freight between Canada and Mexico, improve international and interstate trade, increase regional accessibility, and improve transportation system linkages. Existing and anticipated traffic demands would be accommodated by the provision of a high-speed, access-controlled facility that would be responsive to traffic usage and enhance access between communities and routes within the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of 2,218 acres of new rights-of-way would result in the displacement of 85 family residences, eight businesses, 563 acres of farmland, and 117 acres of wetlands. The alignment would traverse 60 streams and forested wildlife habitat. The project would impact 31 recorded archaeological sites. Three landfills would be traversed. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at 73 sensitive receptor sites.

In carrying out this mission, TVA owns and operates a system of 49 dams and reservoirs and associated water control system facilities to reduce the risk of flooding, enable year-round navigation, supply affordable and reliable electricity, improve water quality and supply, provide recreational opportunities, stimulate economic growth, and provide a wide range of other public benefits. The last major review of the TVA system was completed in 1990; the proposed changes were approved in 1991. Nine policy alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would perpetuate the current operations system, are considered in this programmatic final EIS. The action alternatives would change, to various degrees, reservoir levels and flows through the reservoir system and the seasonal timing of flows, resulting in a mixed suite of environmental and socioeconomic effects. Results of the analysis indicate that there may be sufficient flexibility in the reservoir system such that TVA's reservoir operations policy could be changed to achieve greater overall public value; however, changes in the current balance among objectives would involve significant tradeoffs, including the potential increase in flood damages and power costs. The TVA has identified a preferred reservoir operations policy alternative, which combines and adjusts elements of the alternatives identified in the draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Proposed changes to the reservoir operations system could result in improvement of some or all of the abovementioned services provided to TVA beneficiaries. Cost containment would be a major consideration in evaluating each alternative. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Changes in certain services provided by the current reservoir operations system could result in decrements with respect to other services. Moreover, reservoir operations would continue to have impacts associated with large artificial impoundments, including serious impacts of impoundment fluctuations, as well as with alteration of downstream ecosystems due to dam release levels and the timing of releases.

The model employed the decoupled direct method (DDM) to estimate sensitivities without the need for multiple model runs for different emissions species and geographic regions. The baseline for sensitivities was emissions projected to 2010. Principal geographic regions investigated were east of the Mississippi River, although the contribution of a region to the immediate west of the river was also included in the study. Sensitivities to emissions changes from point sources (SO sub(2) and NO sub(x)) and low-level sources (NO sub(x)) were computed. PM sub(2.5) species examined were sulfate, organic carbon, and nitrate as well as total fine mass. Results for the midwest, mid-Atlantic, and southeast regions indicated that those regions affect their own aerosol levels the most. Aerosols in the northeast were most strongly linked to emissions from the midwest and mid-Atlantic regions. In general, midwest emissions had the most influence of any region on other regions. In addition, the southeast was relatively isolated, having the least influence outside itself and being least affected by neighboring regions. Sulfate was the species most sensitive to emission changes. Finally, the largest potential relative sensitivities of sulfate and organic aerosols, along with PM sub(2.5) mass, to emissions changes were usually modeled to occur outside those areas computed to experience the highest aerosol levels.

AN - 80185307; 14979353 AB - A case is reported in which computer fire modeling was used to reevaluate a fire that killed three fire fighters. NIST's Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) was employed to model the fire in order to estimate the concentration of carbon monoxide present in the dwelling, which was the immediate cause of death of two of the fire fighters, who appear to have removed their face pieces in order to share available air. This estimate, along with an assumed respiration volume and known blood carboxyhemoglobin, was plugged into a standard equation to estimate the time of exposure. The model indicated that 27 min into the fire, the carbon monoxide concentration had already reached approximately 3600 ppm. At this concentration, and a respiration of 70 L/min, an estimated 3 to 8 min of exposure would have been required to accumulate the concentrations of carboxyhemoglobin (49, 44, and 10%) measured on the fire fighters at autopsy.

AN - 80154993; 14871013 AB - Gaseous elemental and total (elemental + oxidized) mercury (Hg) in the flue gas from a coal-fired boiler was measured by a modified ultraviolet (UV) spectrometer. Challenges to Hg measurement were the spectral interferences from other flue gas components and that UV measures only elemental Hg. To eliminate interference from flue gas components, a cartridge filled with gold-coated sand removed elemental Hg from a flue gas sample. The Hg-free flue gas was the reference gas, eliminating the spectral interferences. To measure total Hg by UV, oxidized Hg underwent a gas-phase, thermal-reduction in a quartz cell heated to 750 degrees C. Simultaneously, hydrogen was added to flash react with the oxygen present forming water vapor and preventing Hg re-oxidation as it exits the cell. Hg concentration results are in parts per billion by volume Hg at the flue gas oxygen concentration. The modified Hg analyzer and the Ontario Hydro method concurrently measured Hg at a field test site. Measurements were made at a 700-MW steam turbine plant with scrubber units and selective catalytic reduction. The flue gas sampled downstream of the selective catalytic reduction contained 2100 ppm SO2 and 75 ppm NOx. Total Hg measured by the Hg analyzer was within 20% of the Ontario Hydro results.

The new EMS is designed to fully align with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001 EMS standards. The EMS incorporated a new Environmental Review Process as an integral component. It established clear roles and responsibilities for the agency NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) staff and organizations across TVA, introduced process improvements and standardization measures, and made structural changes to bring about increased efficiency and effectiveness in NEPA reviews. The NEPA process was further strengthened by its integration into the revised comprehensive EMS. A new Environmental Policy and Principles was adopted that re-established the TVA commitments to environmental protection and stewardship, to assess and minimize the effects of TVA operations on the environment, and to involve the public. An Achievement Plan was developed to assure that TVA meets its corporate environmental commitment; that plan recognized the EMS as the principal tool for achieving that goal. Corporate environmental objectives and targets were established, and new methods to measure the overall environmental performance of TVA were introduced. Significantly, the NEPA process was directly linked to other EMS processes, including those for environmental training, communication and stakeholder involvement, records management, environmental auditing, corrective and preventive action, performance monitoring and reporting, and management review. These systematic linkages work together to reinforce all aspects of NEPA performance and to provide improved environmental compliance, cost savings in environmental management programs, and measurable improvements in achievement of TVA environmental objectives. The TVA experience, which takes an agency-wide rather than a facility-based approach to EMS development, may offer insights and an alternative strategy to other agencies addressing NEPA/EMS implementation issues.

AN - 51797803; 2004-072036 AB - Earthquakes occur in the East Tennessee seismic zone with greater frequency than anywhere east of the Rocky Mountains outside of the New Madrid seismic zone and the Charlevoix region in Canada. No earthquakes greater than M = 4.9 have been recorded in the East Tennessee seismic zone, although the observation window of historical seismic activity is narrow. It is possible that large earthquakes have occurred in the past, but the absence of large historical earthquakes has discouraged study of this seismic zone. The concentration of critical infrastructure and large population centers without knowledge of the earthquake history of this area is potentially dangerous. Two localities where anomalously deformed sediments occur have recently been discovered in the East Tennessee seismic zone. An outcrop of disturbed and folded sediments in Tellico Plains, Tennessee, and filled fractures and faults in a Miocene lake deposit near Gray, Tennessee, could be the result of seismic activity. These features, combined with the level and extent of instrumentally detected seismicity, emphasize the need for continued study to properly assess the seismic hazard of this zone.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - APPALACHIAN DEVELOPMENT HIGHWAY SYSTEM CORRIDOR K (RELOCATED U.S. 64) FROM WEST OF THE OCOEE RIVER TO STATE ROUTE 68 NEAR DUCKTOWN, POLK COUNTY, TENNESSEE. AN - 36351780; 10420-030429_0001 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a 20.4- or 20.6-mile segment of highway within Appalachian Development Highway System (ADHS) Corridor K (Relocated US 64) from a point west of the Ocoee River to State Route (SR) 68 near Ducktown in Polk County, Tennessee is proposed. The ADHS is a 3,025-mile network of highways that is comprised of 29 corridors in 13 states that provide transportation access essential for improving the Appalachian Region's economic position. As of September 2002, more than 85 percent of the ADHS was open to traffic or under construction. US 64, also designated SR 40 and US 74, is the only east-west arterial in the region and serves local, through, and recreational traffic. Portions of the new highway would be built on new location while other portions would follow existing US 64. The central segment of the project would pass through the Cherokee National Forest. The four-lane divided highway would replace existing two-lane US 64, which would remain in place through the Ocoee River George to serve local and recreational traffic, retaining its designation as a Scenic Byway. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Construction costs of build alternatives 1 and 2 are estimated at $1.48 billion and $1.53 billion, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve the transportation system linkages in southeastern Tennessee, provide a highway that satisfies the design standards appropriate to a roadway within the ADHS and the National Truck Network, improve safety for vehicles and pedestrians within the corridor, reduce travel delays for through traffic, and promote the mission of the U.S. Forest Service's Scenic Byway Program. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the build alternative selected, the project would require 823 or 852 acres of rights-of-way, including residential and commercial land, wetlands, farmland, open space, and woodland and the associated wildlife habitat. The highway alignment would traverse 30 or 31 stream or waterway crossings, including three crossings of the Ocoee River. Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of seven residences and three businesses, and two small farm operations would suffer minimal impacts. The highway would require new cuts in slopes characterized by unstable rock. Construction activities would expose pyritic rock, potentially resulting in acid leaching into area waterways, thereby affecting the quality of aquatic habitat. One archaeologic site listed in the National Register of Historic Places would be affected, and several other sites that may be eligible for listing could be affected. Eight or nine recreational trail segments would be affected. The highway would degrade visual aesthetics and other recreational values along some segments of the Ocoee River corridor. One residence and four trails would be affected by traffic-generated noise levels in excess of federal standards.

AN - 36349951; 10370-030375_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a natural gas pipeline system (to be known as the Patriot Project) in northeastern Tennessee and southwestern Virginia are proposed by the East Tennessee Natural Gas Company (East Tennessee). The applicant proposes to expand its existing mainline pipeline crossing Tennessee and Virginia and extend a new pipeline into Virginia and North Carolina. The Patriot Project would consist of three components, namely, the Mainline Expansion, the Patriot Extension, and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Project facilities. The Mainline Expansion, which would involve improvements along East Tennessee's existing pipeline in Tennessee and Virginia, including construction of the following facilities: 73.6 miles of 20- to 24-inch-diameter loop pipeline and five new meter stations in Franklin, Grundy, Marion, Sequatchie, Hamilton, Knox, and Sullivan counties in Tennessee and in Washington, Smyth, and Wythe counties in Virginia. East Tennessee would also modify nine existing compressor stations, uprate approximately 71.3 miles of pipeline, and abandon and relay 22.5 miles off pipeline. The Patriot Extension would include construction of the following: 99.7 miles of 16- and 24-inch-diameter pipeline in Virginia and North Carolina and a new terminus at an interconnection with Tanscontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation's system in Rockingham County, North Carolina; three new meter stations; 20 pipeline taps; and associated mainline valves and appurtenant pipeline facilities. TVA Project facilities, recently incorporated into the project, would include 8.7 miles of new pipeline loops, 5.4 miles of pipeline uprate, and modifications at three existing compressor stations. The Patriot Project would provide natural gas to three electric generating facilities, namely, the Murray generating facility owned by Duke Energy North America (DENA), DENA's Wythe energy project, and the Henry County Power energy project, as well as interconnecting with the existing Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Corporation 24-inch-diameter mainline in North Carolina. East Tennessee estimates that the Patriot Project would cost $289 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed expansion of East Tennessee's facilities would ultimately enable the applicant to transport up to 510,000 dekatherms of natural gas per day to four local distribution companies and three electric generation plants. Natural gas service would be brought to portions of southwestern Virginia for the first time NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would affect 2,707.1 acres of land, including 1,300.2 acres that would lie within permanent rights-of-way in Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia. The total acreage of affected land would also include 62.4 acres for aboveground facilities and 142.3 acres for contractor pipeyards. The pipeline would traverse 367 surface waterbodies, three of which have widths greater than 100 feet, as well as 71 wetlands, 12.6 acres of wetlands, including forested wetlands, would be affected. Forested and other wildlife habitat would be lost elsewhere as well. The project could affect the habitat of five federally protected species and five state-protected species. The construction corridor would cross the Appalachian Trail, Jefferson National Forest, New River Trail State Park, lands owned by the Tennessee Valley Authority, municipality-owned lands, and three waterbodies listed as proposed candidate rivers on the Nationwide Rivers Inventory. The work area would be located within 25 feet of 202 residences and 50 feet of 282 residences. Numerous archaeological and historic sites could be affected, some of which may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.

AN - 16356812; 10370 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a natural gas pipeline system (to be known as the Patriot Project) in northeastern Tennessee and southwestern Virginia are proposed by the East Tennessee Natural Gas Company (East Tennessee). The applicant proposes to expand its existing mainline pipeline crossing Tennessee and Virginia and extend a new pipeline into Virginia and North Carolina. The Patriot Project would consist of three components, namely, the Mainline Expansion, the Patriot Extension, and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Project facilities. The Mainline Expansion, which would involve improvements along East Tennessee's existing pipeline in Tennessee and Virginia, including construction of the following facilities: 73.6 miles of 20- to 24-inch-diameter loop pipeline and five new meter stations in Franklin, Grundy, Marion, Sequatchie, Hamilton, Knox, and Sullivan counties in Tennessee and in Washington, Smyth, and Wythe counties in Virginia. East Tennessee would also modify nine existing compressor stations, uprate approximately 71.3 miles of pipeline, and abandon and relay 22.5 miles off pipeline. The Patriot Extension would include construction of the following: 99.7 miles of 16- and 24-inch-diameter pipeline in Virginia and North Carolina and a new terminus at an interconnection with Tanscontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation's system in Rockingham County, North Carolina; three new meter stations; 20 pipeline taps; and associated mainline valves and appurtenant pipeline facilities. TVA Project facilities, recently incorporated into the project, would include 8.7 miles of new pipeline loops, 5.4 miles of pipeline uprate, and modifications at three existing compressor stations. The Patriot Project would provide natural gas to three electric generating facilities, namely, the Murray generating facility owned by Duke Energy North America (DENA), DENA's Wythe energy project, and the Henry County Power energy project, as well as interconnecting with the existing Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Corporation 24-inch-diameter mainline in North Carolina. East Tennessee estimates that the Patriot Project would cost $289 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed expansion of East Tennessee's facilities would ultimately enable the applicant to transport up to 510,000 dekatherms of natural gas per day to four local distribution companies and three electric generation plants. Natural gas service would be brought to portions of southwestern Virginia for the first time NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would affect 2,707.1 acres of land, including 1,300.2 acres that would lie within permanent rights-of-way in Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia. The total acreage of affected land would also include 62.4 acres for aboveground facilities and 142.3 acres for contractor pipeyards. The pipeline would traverse 367 surface waterbodies, three of which have widths greater than 100 feet, as well as 71 wetlands, 12.6 acres of wetlands, including forested wetlands, would be affected. Forested and other wildlife habitat would be lost elsewhere as well. The project could affect the habitat of five federally protected species and five state-protected species. The construction corridor would cross the Appalachian Trail, Jefferson National Forest, New River Trail State Park, lands owned by the Tennessee Valley Authority, municipality-owned lands, and three waterbodies listed as proposed candidate rivers on the Nationwide Rivers Inventory. The work area would be located within 25 feet of 202 residences and 50 feet of 282 residences. Numerous archaeological and historic sites could be affected, some of which may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.

The extent of formation of ozone and various secondary NO sub(y) species in the plume was measured and the rates of loss processes estimated. The rates of these processes were found to be similar during three of the four sampling days. On the fourth day conversion and removal processes within the plume were significantly slower apparently due to lower ambient temperatures, and poor dispersion conditions. On the three more 'reactive' days ozone yield (Y) was found to be in the range of 1.5-2.6 molecules of O sub(3) produced per molecule of NO sub(x) emitted. The ozone production efficiency, estimated from Y and the average chemical age of the farthest distance sampled, varied from 2.3 to 5.4.

AN - 36436597; 10169 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of land use and management actions with respect to lands associated with the Tellico Reservoir in Loudon County, Tennessee is proposed. The Tellico Reservoir and its associated lands offer a variety of natural characteristics, ranging from gently rolling valleys to mountains and from the clear-stream entrance that the Little Tennessee River makes below Chilhowee Dam to the large flat lake behind Tellico Dam. The reservoir is used extensively by boaters, who can access the lake vis? 14 public access areas. The proposal would involve the sale of 118 acres of public land, use of five acres of public land for a small golf course, and use of four acres of public land for a full service marina. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative E) would approve the use of public land for the small golf course and the marina, and modify the current land management plan to allow the sale of the requested land for development; however, the developer would have to exchange 256 acres of land for the 118 acres to be disposed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The land exchange and other land use provisions would allow a recreational resort community to be developed near the lake. The community would benefit the local economy as well as recreationists purchasing property within the community. The plan would result in a net increase in public land. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in the loss of public lands to private ownership and, thereby, certain federal controls over the disposed land. Shoreline habitat, recreational opportunities, and the visual and other aesthetic values would be marred due to shoreline developments. Although there would be some adverse impacts to terrestrial ecology, wetlands, water quality, and aquatic ecology to both the involved public and private public lands, these impacts would be offset by the proposed land exchange. Two sensitive species could suffer from a loss of habitat. LEGAL MANDATES: Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933 (16 U.S.C. 831 et seq.).

AN - 36350402; 10169-030293_0016 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of land use and management actions with respect to lands associated with the Tellico Reservoir in Loudon County, Tennessee is proposed. The Tellico Reservoir and its associated lands offer a variety of natural characteristics, ranging from gently rolling valleys to mountains and from the clear-stream entrance that the Little Tennessee River makes below Chilhowee Dam to the large flat lake behind Tellico Dam. The reservoir is used extensively by boaters, who can access the lake vis? 14 public access areas. The proposal would involve the sale of 118 acres of public land, use of five acres of public land for a small golf course, and use of four acres of public land for a full service marina. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative E) would approve the use of public land for the small golf course and the marina, and modify the current land management plan to allow the sale of the requested land for development; however, the developer would have to exchange 256 acres of land for the 118 acres to be disposed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The land exchange and other land use provisions would allow a recreational resort community to be developed near the lake. The community would benefit the local economy as well as recreationists purchasing property within the community. The plan would result in a net increase in public land. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in the loss of public lands to private ownership and, thereby, certain federal controls over the disposed land. Shoreline habitat, recreational opportunities, and the visual and other aesthetic values would be marred due to shoreline developments. Although there would be some adverse impacts to terrestrial ecology, wetlands, water quality, and aquatic ecology to both the involved public and private public lands, these impacts would be offset by the proposed land exchange. Two sensitive species could suffer from a loss of habitat. LEGAL MANDATES: Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933 (16 U.S.C. 831 et seq.).

AN - 36348563; 10169-030293_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of land use and management actions with respect to lands associated with the Tellico Reservoir in Loudon County, Tennessee is proposed. The Tellico Reservoir and its associated lands offer a variety of natural characteristics, ranging from gently rolling valleys to mountains and from the clear-stream entrance that the Little Tennessee River makes below Chilhowee Dam to the large flat lake behind Tellico Dam. The reservoir is used extensively by boaters, who can access the lake vis? 14 public access areas. The proposal would involve the sale of 118 acres of public land, use of five acres of public land for a small golf course, and use of four acres of public land for a full service marina. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative E) would approve the use of public land for the small golf course and the marina, and modify the current land management plan to allow the sale of the requested land for development; however, the developer would have to exchange 256 acres of land for the 118 acres to be disposed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The land exchange and other land use provisions would allow a recreational resort community to be developed near the lake. The community would benefit the local economy as well as recreationists purchasing property within the community. The plan would result in a net increase in public land. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in the loss of public lands to private ownership and, thereby, certain federal controls over the disposed land. Shoreline habitat, recreational opportunities, and the visual and other aesthetic values would be marred due to shoreline developments. Although there would be some adverse impacts to terrestrial ecology, wetlands, water quality, and aquatic ecology to both the involved public and private public lands, these impacts would be offset by the proposed land exchange. Two sensitive species could suffer from a loss of habitat. LEGAL MANDATES: Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933 (16 U.S.C. 831 et seq.).

AN - 36347690; 10169-030293_0014 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of land use and management actions with respect to lands associated with the Tellico Reservoir in Loudon County, Tennessee is proposed. The Tellico Reservoir and its associated lands offer a variety of natural characteristics, ranging from gently rolling valleys to mountains and from the clear-stream entrance that the Little Tennessee River makes below Chilhowee Dam to the large flat lake behind Tellico Dam. The reservoir is used extensively by boaters, who can access the lake vis? 14 public access areas. The proposal would involve the sale of 118 acres of public land, use of five acres of public land for a small golf course, and use of four acres of public land for a full service marina. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative E) would approve the use of public land for the small golf course and the marina, and modify the current land management plan to allow the sale of the requested land for development; however, the developer would have to exchange 256 acres of land for the 118 acres to be disposed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The land exchange and other land use provisions would allow a recreational resort community to be developed near the lake. The community would benefit the local economy as well as recreationists purchasing property within the community. The plan would result in a net increase in public land. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in the loss of public lands to private ownership and, thereby, certain federal controls over the disposed land. Shoreline habitat, recreational opportunities, and the visual and other aesthetic values would be marred due to shoreline developments. Although there would be some adverse impacts to terrestrial ecology, wetlands, water quality, and aquatic ecology to both the involved public and private public lands, these impacts would be offset by the proposed land exchange.

Yet we know almost nothing about the geography of available stopovers or the possible migratory pathways that connect optimal stopovers. We undertake a spatial analysis of stopover habitat availability and then model potential migratory pathways between optimal stopovers in the eastern United States. Using models of fixed orientation and fixed nightly flight distance between stopovers during spring migration, we explore whether a simple endogenous migratory program is sufficient to ensure successful migration across the modern landscape. Our model runs suggest that the modern distribution of optimum stopovers in the eastern United States can be adequately exploited by birds following migratory pathways defined by fixed-orientation and fixed-distance nightly flights. Longer flight distances may increase the chances of success by enabling migrants to bypass locales offering little habitat. Our results also suggest that most southwestnortheast migratory pathways through the Appalachian Mountains are intact. Lack of optimal habitat at key locations in the Southeast causes many modeled pathways to fail. We present a speculative view of regional migration patterns implied by predominant ideas found in stopover ecology literature, and demonstrate the need for broad-scale migration research, in the hope that our approach will foster other continental- and regional-scale projects.

AN - 36441508; 10056 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 500-kilovolt (kV) transmission line in Stewart, Houston, Montgomery, Dickson, Chetham, and Davidson counties, Tennessee are proposed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). TVA has made few additions to its transmission system since the early 1980s. The electrical load growth in this region, which includes Nashville, will soon exceed the capacity of the high-voltage transmission lines serving it. The proposed transmission line would connect TVA's Cumberland Fossil Plant in Stewart County with either TVA's Montgomery 500-kV substation in Montgomery County or with TVA's Davidson 500-kV substation in Davidson County. This draft EIS considers two study area alternatives, based on the two alternative transmission line destinations, as well as various corridors within each alternative study area; a No Action Alternative (Alternative 3) is also considered. The transmission line would extend 32 to 51 miles. The preferred alternative would extend between Cumberland and Montgomery. The features of the transmission line, as well as its construction and operation, are similar across all action alternatives. The line would use self-supporting, galvanized, laced steel structures from 85 to 125 feet in height. The average distance between structures would be approximately 1,000 feet. The electrical conductors would consist of three sets of three cables suspended beneath the structure cross-arms by insulators. The line would occupy a right-of-way approximately 175 feet in width. The system would be served by permanent access roads. An additional bay containing a new 500-kV breaker would be provided at the switchyard associated with the Cumberland Fossil Plant. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new line would help maintain transmission system reliability pursuant to TVA's statutory responsibilities; minimize environmental impacts in meeting these responsibilities in keeping with TVA's commitment to resource stewardship; minimize costs as part of TVA's obligation to provide electric power at the lowest possible cost; and meet the in-service date of June 1, 2006, which is the earliest reasonably achievable date. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in the loss of forested land and the associated wildlife habitat; increased forest fragmentation; removal of the tree canopy at stream crossings; removal of existing buildings from the new rights-of-way; restrictions on future land uses in the rights-of-way; and degradation of visual quality along the corridor. Most trees and shrubs would be removed from the entire right-of-way width during construction. Trees outside the rights-of-way that are tall enough to damage the lines if they fall would also be removed. Several endangered plant and animal species are known to occur in the corridors of the preferred construction area. Wetlands could be affected. All corridors within the preferred area could affect properties that are listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

AN - 36436180; 10004 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of land use and management actions with respect to lands associated with the Tellico Reservoir in Loudon County, Tennessee is proposed. The Tellico Reservoir and its associated lands offer a variety of natural characteristics, ranging from gently rolling valleys to mountains and from the clear-stream entrance that the Little Tennessee River makes below Chilhowee Dam to the large flat lake behind Tellico Dam. The reservoir is used extensively by boaters, who can access the lake vis? 14 public access areas. The proposal would involve the sale of 118 acres of public land, use of five acres of public land for a small golf course, and use of four acres of public land for a full service marina. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative E) would approve the use of public land for the small golf course and the marina, and modify the current land management plan to allow the sale of the requested land for development; however, the developer would have to exchange 256 acres of land for the 118 acres to be disposed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The land exchange and other land use provisions would allow a recreational resort community to be developed near the lake. The community would benefit the local economy as well as recreationists purchasing property within the community. The plan would result in a net increase in public land. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in the loss of public lands to private ownership and, thereby, certain federal controls over the disposed land. Shoreline habitat, recreational opportunities, and the visual and other aesthetic values would be marred due to shoreline developments.

AN - 36379685; 10004-030125_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of land use and management actions with respect to lands associated with the Tellico Reservoir in Loudon County, Tennessee is proposed. The Tellico Reservoir and its associated lands offer a variety of natural characteristics, ranging from gently rolling valleys to mountains and from the clear-stream entrance that the Little Tennessee River makes below Chilhowee Dam to the large flat lake behind Tellico Dam. The reservoir is used extensively by boaters, who can access the lake vis? 14 public access areas. The proposal would involve the sale of 118 acres of public land, use of five acres of public land for a small golf course, and use of four acres of public land for a full service marina. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative E) would approve the use of public land for the small golf course and the marina, and modify the current land management plan to allow the sale of the requested land for development; however, the developer would have to exchange 256 acres of land for the 118 acres to be disposed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The land exchange and other land use provisions would allow a recreational resort community to be developed near the lake. The community would benefit the local economy as well as recreationists purchasing property within the community. The plan would result in a net increase in public land. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in the loss of public lands to private ownership and, thereby, certain federal controls over the disposed land. Shoreline habitat, recreational opportunities, and the visual and other aesthetic values would be marred due to shoreline developments.

AN - 36435879; 9980 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of approximately 75 miles of freeway from the Mississippi/Alabama state line to Interstate 65 (I-65) in Colbert, Franklin, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, and Morgan counties, Alabama is proposed. The project constitutes the western portion of the Memphis to Atlanta Congressional High Priority Corridor designated by Section 1105(c)(7) of the Intermodal Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. The eastern portion, from I-65 to the Alabama/Georgia state line, is being studied concurrently and will be the subject of another EIS process. While the documents are being prepared separately, the intent is that the two documents will be processed simultaneously. The part of the project at hand would involve construction of a 69.8- to 77.5-mile east-west, controlled access highway, within a minimum right-of-way of 295 feet, in northwest Alabama. Urbanized areas within the corridor, which is largely rural and dominated by agricultural land uses, include Florence, Sheffield, Muscle Shoals, Athens, and Decatur. The area currently lacks an efficient interstate-quality east-west facility to provide for the regional movement of travelers and goods. Four reasonable corridor alternatives and a No-Build Alternative are considered in this final EIS. Under any alternative, access would be controlled via interchanges, requiring additional rights-of-way at some locations. The preferred alternative (Alternative C1) would Depending on the alternative selected, estimated cost of the project ranges from $640.6 million to 718.2 million. Cost of the preferred alternative is estimated at $639.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway would increase east-west regional and interstate mobility and provide infrastructure to promote economic development in northwestern Alabama. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for the preferred alternative would result in displacement of 177 residences, five commercial establishments, one church, 2,224 acres of prime and unique farmland, and 253 to 358.5 acres of wetlands. Any alternative would cross the floodplains of numerous major streams, possibly including the Tennessee and/or Elk rivers. The facility would traverse the Natchez Trace Parkway, an historic and scenic travel and trade route. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at 45 sensitive receptor sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous waste sites.

Conversely, some examples will also be given of how measurement deficiencies led to misleading conclusions concerning the nature and extent of environmental pollution, and permitted the development of ineffective control strategies. Measurement artifacts for prominent particulate constituents-- sulfate, nitrate and organic species--are discussed, focusing on key measurement principles that were developed to overcome those artifacts. The use of tracers and source apportionment techniques to quantify the contributions of sources of pollutants and their precursors is another example of measurement science enabling effective control strategies. The intent of this paper is to illustrate how better measurement science leads to more accurate assessment of pollutant formation and transport processes, and hence to the development of more effective pollutant control strategies.

AN - 36441070; 9947 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a fully controlled access highway from Interstate 65 (I-65) in north-central Alabama eastward to the Georgia state line is proposed. The study area includes portions of Limestone, Morgan, Madison, Jackson, Marshall, DeKalb, and Cherokee counties, Alabama. The project would constitute a portion of the Memphis to Atlanta Congressional High Priority Corridor. The southern boundary of the High Priority Corridor begins at I-65 north of Athens, Alabama and extends eastward, passing south of Guntersville, Alabama and intersecting with the Alabama/Georgia state line south of State Route 9 (SR 9). The northern boundary of the study area begins at I-65 north of Athens, Alabama and extends eastward passing north of Huntsville, Alabama and curving to the southeast to pass north of Scottsboro and Fort Payne, Alabama before continuing southeast to intersect with the Alabama/Georgia state line north of SR 9. The portion of the project under consideration in this draft EIS would extend approximately 91 miles. In addition to mass transit and demand management strategies and a No Action Alternative, six reasonable build alternatives are considered in detail in this final EIS. The alternatives vary largely in alignment, though associated design alterations are also involved. The preferred alternative (Alternative 8) would co-locate with existing freeway corridors, I-565 and the Southern Bypass, to a great extent minimizing construction of roadway on within new rights-of-way. The highway would generally lie within a 295-foot right-of-way. Depending of the alternative selected, cost of the project ranges from $1.3 billion to $1.7 billion. The cost of the preferred alternative is estimated at $1.4 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide a safe, efficient freeway linking the Hunsville, Madison, Scottsboro, Fort Payne, Guntersville, New Hope, Gurley, Grant, Langston, Portersville, and Gaylesville in northeastern Alabama. The facility would enhance east-west regional and interstate mobility within the National Highway System. In addition, the project would provide infrastructure that would promote economic development and commerce i the affected portion of the state by connecting regional businesses centers in the study area, which no east-west national highway currently exists. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the conversion displacement of commercial, residential, agricultural, and forested land and the associated wildlife habitat, including habitat for federally protected species of plants and animals. Wetlands would also be displaced and floodplains traversed. Culverts and bridge structures would be required, involving channel modifications in some areas. Traffic-generated noise levels along the corridor would exceed federal standards at numerous sensitive receptor sites, though noise barriers could mitigate some of these impacts. Several historic and archaeological sites, potentially eligible or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be affected. Construction workers would encounter hazardous waste sites along the corridor.

AN - 73074860; 12617291 AB - Site and regional trends in seasonally averaged particle SO4(2-) concentrations were examined for a large portion of the United States using data collected by the CASTNet air monitoring network. Trends were analyzed for overlapping periods of 1988-1999 and 1992-1999. The largest absolute SO4(2-) decreases--approximately -0.4 microg/m3/yr--between 1988 and 1999 occurred in summer for sites in the Ohio River Valley and areas to the east. Generally, the largest SO4(2-) reductions were found for summer, but larger relative reductions often occurred for spring and autumn. Sulfate changes during 1992-1999 were quite different from those found for 1988-1999 and were not entirely consistent with changes in SO2 emissions. In some locations, the 1992-1999 period saw smaller declines in SO4(2-), while in other places seasonal SO4(2-) actually increased. Increases were mostly confined to summer and autumn across the southern and southwestern states. Multivariate analysis of ambient sulfur levels, by region, versus SO2 emissions reveals that annual emissions are associated with more than 80% of the variance in seasonal sulfur (SO2 and SO4(2-)) in more than three-quarters of the cases examined. The weakest associations were found for the southeastern United States.

This project examined lead (Pb) and calcium (Ca) concentrations in growth rings of an important northern hardwood species, American beech (Fagus grandifolia Ehrh.) at Mount Rogers and Whitetop Mountain, Virginia and attempted to examine concentration relationships with stem growth patterns. Dominant and codominant trees were sampled from 16 research plots at two elevations. Tree cores were crossdated, divided into sections of 10-yr periods, and analyzed using atomic absorption spectroscopy. Lead concentrations correlated negatively with ring width. Elevation and aspect were significantly associated with the Pb concentration, while Ca concentrations were only associated with aspect. Tree core samples taken from higher elevation plots contained higher Pb concentrations than samples collected from lower elevation plots, while the northwest and southwest aspects contained significantly higher amounts of Pb and Ca. Both Pb and Ca concentrations increased during the 1860s and again during the mid-1900s.

ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PICKWICK RESERVOIR LAND MANAGEMENT PLAN, COLBERT AND LAUDERDALE COUNTIES, ALABAMA, TISHOMINGO COUNTY MISSISSIPPI AND HARDIN COUNTY, TENNESSEE. AN - 36419737; 9436 AB - PURPOSE: The modification of a 1981 plan for the management of 19,238 acres of land managed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) within the Pickwick Reservoir project site in Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee. The project site lies in Colbert and Lauderdale counties, Alabama; Tishomingo County, Mississippi; and Hardin County, Tennessee. Originally, TVA acquired approximately 63,625 acres of land for the Pickwick Project. Of that, 42,708 acres are covered by water while the normal summer pool elevation is present. Subsequent transfers and sales of land for various commercial, industrial, residential, and recreational uses have resulted in a current balance of 19,238 acres of land available for future allocation. TVA would use the modified plan to guide land use approvals, private water use facility permitting, and resource management decisions with respect to the reservoir and the surrounding lands. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. The proposed alternative (Alternative B) would allocate land in broad categories, including project operations, sensitive resource management, natural resource conservation, industrial/commercial development, recreation, and residential access. In addition, approximately 12,849.42 acres of land currently committed to a specific use through previous land transfers, leases, and contracts would be allocated to the current uses. The plan would result in approximately 63 percent of the reservoir lands allocated to natural resource conservation, seven to eight percent to sensitive resource management, and six to seven percent to recreation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Sensitive resources, such as endangered and threatened species, cultural resources, and wetlands, would be protected. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Future residential, industrial, and recreational developments on adjacent private property or on TVA-controlled lands could result in water quality degradation. A rare plant species on one tract of land would be adversely affected, and prime farmland would be likely to be converted to other uses.

Studies have revealed significant volatilization of ammonia to the atmosphere from confined livestock waste treatment lagoons. With the advent of watershed protection concepts such as nutrient trading and total maximum daily load (TMDL), it is envisioned that use of integrated waste management systems may be required for simultaneous treatment of manure solids, noxious gases, and water-borne pollutants. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is continuing to refine and demonstrate integrated systems for treating high strength wastewater. A key component of the system is a novel technology referred to as subsurface-flow reciprocating wetlands (ReCip super(TM)). Variations of ReCip super(TM) have been evaluated for treating municipal, industrial, and agricultural wastewater. Reciprocation relates to patented improvements in the design and operation of paired subsurface-flow constructed wetlands, such that contiguous cells are filled and drained on a recurrent basis (U.S. Patent 5,863,433). This recurrent fill and drain technique, with fill and drain cycles ranging from 1 to 12 hours, turns gravel beds into fixed-film biological reactors in which it is possible to have alternating aerobic, anoxic, and anaerobic zones.

AN - 72899517; 12805895 AB - Two multimetric indices have been developed to help address fish community (reservoir fish assemblage index [RFAI]) and individual population quality (sport fishing index [SFI]) in Tennessee River reservoirs. The RFAI, with characteristics similar to the index of biotic integrity (IBI) used in stream fish community determinations, was developed to monitor the existing condition of resident fish communities. The index, which incorporates standardized electrofishing of littoral areas and experimental gill netting for limnetic bottom-dwelling species, has been used to determine residential fish community response to various anthropogenic impacts in southeastern reservoirs. The SFI is a multimetric index designed to address the quality of the fishery for individual resident sport fish species in a particular lake or reservoir[4]. The SFI incorporates measures of fish population aspects and angler catch and pressure estimates. This paper proposes 70% of the maximum RFAI score and 10% above the average SFI score for individual species as "screening" endpoints for balanced indigenous populations (BIP) or adverse environmental impact (AEI). Endpoints for these indices indicate: (1) communities/populations are obviously balanced indigenous populations (BIP) indicating no adverse environmental impact (AEI), or are "screened out"; (2) communities/populations are considered to be potentially impacted; and (3) where the resident fish community/population should be considered adversely impacted. Suggestions are also made concerning how examination of individual metric scores can help determine the source or cause of the impact.

AN - 36411025; 9243 AB - PURPOSE: The extension of the operating licenses for Units 2 and 3 and, potentially, Unit 1 of the Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BNF) in Limestone County, Alabama is proposed. Nuclear generation is expected to play a vital role in helping TVA meet energy supply demands. The study currently used to estimate energy needs estimates that BNF and two other units located at different sites will contribute 5,517 megawatts (MW), or 20 percent of the TVA system total projected capacity of 27,995 MW in 2005. The currently proposed actions would require obtaining a renewal of the units' operating licenses from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Renewal of the licenses would permit operation of the units for an additional 20 years past the current (original) 40-year operating license terms, which will expire in 2013, 2014, and 2016 for Units 1, 2, and 3, respectively. License renewal by itself would involve existing BFN facilities and would not involve any new construction or modifications beyond normal maintenance and minor refurbishment. However, there are other projects not directly related to license renewal that are currently contemplated and that could be proposed for implementation prior to the expiration of the current operating licenses for the BFN facilities. One of these projects would involve recovery of Unit 1, which has been in a non-operational status for 15 years. Other projects currently considered for BFN could include the addition of a dry cask storage facility for spent nuclear fuels and the construction of new office buildings. In the interest of completeness and to avoid the potential delays and cost associated with separate reviews, these actions are being considered in this final supplemental EIS. Two action alternatives, one of which incorporates three subalternatvies, and a No Action Alternative, which would involve refusal to relicense the units, are considered in this EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would involve relicensing of Units 2 and 3 for an additional 20-year period and refurbishment and restart of Unit 1. Restart of Unit 1 could occur as early as 2007 if a favorable decision was made and recovery efforts were initiated. Recovery of Unit 1 would necessitate construction of a new administration building to make space available to income temporary workers and to move permanent office workers away from radiation sources associated with the operation of the unit with hydrogen water chemistry. Restarting Unit 1 would also require additional cooling tower capacity beyond that envisioned in simply relicensing Units 2 and 3. The additional cooling tower capacity could be obtained by a combination of construction of new towers, refurbishment of the original cooling towers, and/or dismantling and replacing one or more of the original cooling towers with an updated more efficient tower or towers. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Renewal of the operating licenses would allow TVA to make maximum use of existing power production facilities at the BFN site into the foreseeable future. TVA's responsibility to supply power to the region would be supported. Restart of Unit 1 would provide significant employment opportunities during construction and some additional long-term operation-related jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Restart of Unit 1 would result in some additional generation of conventional hazardous wastes, non-hazardous solid wastes, and spent nuclear fuel wastes. Restart of the unit would also increase the flow rates from the cooling towers from approximately 2,312 million gallons per day (MGD) to 3,468 MGD, increasing water temperature in the receiving river water flow somewhat over the current situation. Excavation for the facilities needed to restart Unit 1 could penetrate the groundwater. Restart of the unit would also increase the risk of fish impingement and entrainment in the cooling system. Table. One archaeological site could be affected. New cooling towers would degrade the visual aesthetics of the landscape. Except in the event of a serious accidental release of radionuclides, the preferred alternative would have no significant radiation-related health effects.

The facility, which lies approximately 13 miles upstream of the Port of Chattanooga, is one of the 10 multipurpose lock-and-dam projects comprising the Tennessee River navigation system maintained by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). The lock is a single chamber facility measuring 60 feet by 360 feet. In 1999, approximately 2.3 million tons of commodities moved on the Upper Tennessee River navigation system, accounting for 6.5 percent of the entire Tennessee River system traffic. The lock and dam is plagued with "concrete growth" resulting from an alkali-aggregate reaction. This reaction creates a gel that absorbs moisture, swells, and expands the concrete. When the concrete is restrained, the growth increases internal stresses, which causes cracking and movement of the concrete monoliths. This movement causes equipment misalignment as well as structural instability. The growth is continuing, resulting in a significantly increased need for non-standard major maintenance. If current conditions prevail, the economic viability of the facility could end as early as in 2010. Moreover, the capacity of the lock does not meet the needs of modern barges of increasing size. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 2), which would involve closure of the existing lock, are considered in this final supplement to the March 1996 final EIS on the lock and dam issued by the TVA. The plan recommended by the TVA would involve construction of a 100-foot by 600-foot lock. The plan recommended by the Army Corps of Engineers (COE) in this final supplemental EIS would involve construction of a 75-foot by 400-foot lock. After completion of the new lock, the existing lock would be plugged and closed. Construction of the new lock would have to be initiated five years prior to the permanent closure of the existing lock if navigation is to be maintained on the upper Tennessee River. Cost of the project as proposed by the COE is estimated at $239.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new lock would increase the capacity of the existing lock, improve its reliability and safety, and reduce maintenance and repair costs associated with lock operations. Recreational boaters as well as operators of barges would benefit. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the new lock would result in some loss of aquatic habitat and resident populations of freshwater mussels, including populations of two federal protected species, the pink mucket and the orange-foot pimpleback. The existing lock, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, would be modified. The new lock, like the existing lock, would hamper upstream migration of fish populations, though the new lock would do so to a lesser extent.

AN - 51846642; 2004-039792 AB - The southern Appalachians contain one of the most active seismic zones in eastern North America. Twenty years of monitoring has revealed a belt of seismicity in northeastern Alabama, northwestern Georgia and much of eastern Tennessee. The focal depths of most earthquakes range from 5 to 22 km, beneath the Paleozoic detachment. Focal mechanism solutions in the region indicate strike-slip faulting on steeply dipping planes and a uniform regional stress field with horizontal maximum compression trending N70E. The majority of mechanisms involve either right-lateral motion on NS planes or left-lateral slip on EW trending planes. A smaller population of strike-slip mechanisms shows right-lateral motion on northeasterly trending planes, parallel to the overall trend of the seismicity. The highest density of activity has occurred in a narrow northeasterly trending zone less than 100 km wide and approximately 300 km in length within the Valley and Ridge. The western margin of this more active zone is sharply defined and coincides with a prominent gradient in the total intensity magnetic field. Seismicity is not uniformly distributed within this zone of dense activity: the epicenters form northeasterly trending en-echelon segments. These linear segments, and the locations of their terminations, presumably reflect in some sense the basement fault structure that is being reactivated in the modern stress regime. The Eastern Tennessee seismic zone presents many questions. Since 1982, 44 felt earthquakes have occurred in the denser zone of activity and 35 have had magnitudes exceeding 3.0. However, the largest historical shock was magnitude 4.6, and occurred in 1973. No evidence for larger prehistoric shocks has been discovered, yet the microearthquake data suggest coherent stress accumulation within a large volume. Physical processes for reactivation of basement faults in this region could involve a weak lower crust and/or increased fluid pressures within the upper to middle crust. Inversions of travel time data to date have not revealed anomalously low velocities within the seismic zone. However, there may be a marginal correlation between the seismicity and the major drainage pattern and general topography of the region. Perhaps a hydrological element links seismicity, uniform regional stress and basement structure.

The highway would be an independently viable section of a beltway that would eventually connect to I-40 east of Knoxville. The 39-mile facility, to be known as Route 475, would lie within a minimum rights-of-way of 300 feet and have a design speed of 70 miles per hour. A 48-foot depressed median would separate two 12-foot traffic lanes in each direction along the new alignment. The travel lanes would be flanked by 12-foot outside shoulders and six-foot inside shoulders. The facility would begin at I-75 approximately 5.8 miles southwest of the I-40/I-75 merge southwest of Knoxville near Lenoir City and extend in a northeasterly direction to I-75 approximately three miles northwest of the I-75/State Route 61 interchange north of Knoxville near the city of Norris. Three build alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. One build alternative would follow a new alignment for its entire length and provide for two new crossings of the Clinch River. The two other build alternatives would utilize a combination of existing highway alignment and new alignment and provide for no new crossings of the Clinch River. Interchanges would be provided at I-75, I-40, intersecting state routes, and other selected intersection highways. Grade separations or overpasses would be provided at other selected intersecting roadways. Some minor intersecting roadways would be relocated or discontinued. Where required, access to existing development would be maintained via frontage roads and service drives. All railroad crossings would be grade separated. Estimated costs of the project range from $253.6 million to $411.7 million, depending on the alternative considered. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new facility would improve safety and traffic operating conditions in the Knoxville area, improve circulation within the region, improve regional accessibility to the project area, reduce travel time and distances, and result in long-term energy savings. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 59 to 116 residences, five to seven businesses, and one or two nonprofit organizations. In addition, the project would affect 0.6 to 2.2 miles of floodplain land, 3.8 to 18.8 acres of wetland, 981.8 to 1,486.2 acres of forest, 135 to 1,100 feet of stream, 19 to 30 archaeological sites, and 89 to 107 acres of prime farmland. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards at 126 to 450 residential receptor sites.

AN - 36410370; 9168 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of measures to reduce the flooding effects related to the operation of the Nolichucky Dam and the accumulation of sediment in the Nolichucky Reservoir in Avery, Mitchell, and Yancey counties, North Carolina is proposed. The dam was built in 1913 as a single-purpose hydroelectric power production facility and was acquired by the Tennessee Valley Authority in 1945. All four generators were removed from service between 1965 and 1972 due to sediment-related problems. Since 1972, the project has been used for wildlife management and environmental education. The federal government owns approximately 1,400 acres of land under and around the reservoir and holds easements over approximately 370 acres of land along the associated reach of the river. Recent studies have indicated that silt accumulations in the reservoir have raised the 100-year flood level by as much as 10 above what it probably was in 1945 and, even then, the project land rights did not include all of the area that would have been affected during flood events. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative B would involve the acquisition in feet title or via flood easements of over 1,000 acres of private land within the present 500-year floodplain upstream of the dam. Most of the new land acquired in fee would probably be added to the existing wildlife management area. Alternative C would involve lowering the height of the dam spillway to approximately 40 feet, so that the 500-year flood elevation associated with the modified dam would affect only land already in federal ownership or covered by existing flood easements, and removing some sediment from the reservoir pool. Alternative D would involve removal of all visible components of the dam and removal of sediment from the river valley. If either Alternative C or D were adopted, the site-specific details of the project and its site-specific environmental effects would be addressed in a supplement to this EIS. Costs of Alternatives B, C, and D are estimated at $15 million to $20 million, $45 million to $70 million, and $90 million to $150 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under Alternative B, public ownership or control over the entire floodplain area would preclude damage to private property due to flooding and could lead to improved terrestrial habitat conditions, more resource protection, and increased recreational opportunities. Alternative C would return the river to a more natural state, both upstream and downstream. Alternative D would return the river to a nearly pristine historic state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Adoption of Alternative B would not reduce flood elevations upstream of the dam. Adoption of Alternative C would result in lower groundwater table levels adjacent to the reservoir, in some areas enough that nearby well performance could be affected. Lowering the pool would also drain approximately 310 acres of high-quality wetlands around and in the reservoir. Lowering the spillway and disturbing sediment in the reservoir could result in some increased sedimentation downstream of the dam during construction activities. Alternative D would result in impacts similar to those of Alternative C; in addition, however, freshwater mussels and other uncommon bottom-dwelling species, including two federally protected species, could be eliminated from the river.

Hybrid Bioreactors accomplish single-step destruction of contaminants without generating contaminated off-gases or other secondary waste streams. Contaminants destroyed include a wide variety of volatile organic compounds, chlorinated solvents, and other compounds. The bioreactors can be used in a variety of applications ranging from site restoration to industrial compliance. Treatment costs using Hybrid Bioreactors are generally less than one-tenth of costs reported at Superfund sites. A gas stream application of the new technology was field-demonstrated at Anniston Army Depot in a project funded by the U.S. Army Environmental Center. A 300-cubic-foot Hybrid Bioreactor is being demonstrated this year at TVA's Wetlands Complex in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.

Elevated concentrations of smoke aerosol tracers - fine potassium, (and to a lesser extent, calcium and silicon) and, where available, organic and elemental carbon - were observed in the region during times in which satellite imagery (TOMS and GOES-8) showed regional transport of hazy, smoky airmasses from southern Mexico and adjacent areas of Central America. Back-trajectories from network sites in the Tennessee Valley network were consistent with this regional transport. The extent of transport of extra-regional fine particle mass during May, 1998, is discussed relative to the new US fine particle mass-based standards for fine particulate matter.

Today, TVA operates an integrated reservoir system of 49 dams (1 project in the Cumberland River basin), in the 41,000-square mile Tennessee River drainage basin covering portions of seven states. Since these dams were built, significant flood reduction benefits have been realized along the Tennessee River and its tributaries, and along the lower Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. TVA dams also provide additional benefits to the region including navigation, hydropower generation, water supply, recreation, water quality, and land use for economic development.

The ratio of SO sub(2) to No sub(y) emissions into the plume has been reduced to similar to 0.1, compared with a prescrubber value of similar to 2. To determine whether the SO sub(2) emissions reduction has correspondingly reduced plume-generated particulate SO sub(4) super(2-) production, we have compared the rates of conversion before and after scrubber installation. The prescrubber estimates were developed from measurements made during the Tennessee Plume Study conducted in the late 1970s. The post-scrubber estimates are based upon two series of research flights in the summers of 1998 and 1999. During two of these flights, the Cumberland plume did not mix with adjacent power plant plumes, enabling rate constants for conversion to be estimated from samples taken in the plume at three downwind distances. Dry deposition losses and the fact the fact that SO sub(2) is no longer in large excess compared with SO sub(4) super(2-) have been taken into account, and an upper limit for the conversion rate constant was re-estimated based on plume excess aerosol volume. The estimated upper limit values are 0.069 hr super(-1) and 0.034 hr super(-1) for the 1998 and 1999 data, respectively. The 1999 rate is comparable with earlier values for nonscrubbed plumes, and although the 1998 upper limit value is higher than expected, these estimates do not provide strong evidence for deviation from a linear relationship between SO sub(2) emissions and SO sub(4) super(2-) formation.

AN - 36411604; 8950 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a natural-gas-fired, combined-cycle power plant in Franklin County, located in southern Tennessee is proposed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) provided needed intermediate baseload generation capacity. In its annual report to the Southeastern Electric Reliability Council, TVA projected continued growth in demand for total net energy (baseload) at about the medium level through 2010. These data reflect an average energy growth rate of approximately two percent per year. Acknowledging the recent rapid growth in baseload demand, TVA currently estimates it will need approximately 2,000 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of power annually by 2005 and 5,000 to 15,000 additional GWh by 2010. The addition of the combined-cycle plant is needed by TVA to meet increased baseload capacity requirements from both reliability and a cost standpoint. The proposed power plant would provide 510 megawatts (MW) of new capacity as early as June 2003 at one of two sites. Both alternative sites are located on the southwestern portion of Arnold Air Force Base. The sites are currently either forested or in pasture. The preferred alternative site (Site 4), which is located approximately 0.25 mile south of the TVA Franklin Substation, encompasses 135 acres. The installed plant would consist of two General Electric (GE) 7FA combustion turbine units, each configured with a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). Steam produced in the HRSG would b sent to a GE D11 steam turbine. Electricity would e generated both combustion turbines and steam turbines. Natural gas would constitute the sole fuel. To control nitrogen oxide emissions, turbines would employ low nitrogen oxide burners and selective catalytic reduction systems. A 500-kilovolt transmission line would be constructed extending from the local distribution system to obtain construction and emergency power at the site. Water supply and water discharge pipelines would be installed to deliver fluids to the Woods Reservoir. A natural gas pipeline would be installed to connect the facility with pipelines owned by the East Tennessee Natural Gas Company, which pass a few miles to the south of the alternative sites. The local access road (Substation Road) would be upgraded. Other appurtenances and ancillary equipment could include transformers, demineralized water supply systems, parking areas, and support buildings. Upgrading of the East Tennessee Natural Gas Company supply line could also be required. A No Action Alternative is also considered in this final EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plant would provide additional baseload capacity to the TVA system, supporting the regional electric power grid and assisting TVA in meeting its mission to maintain delivery of reliable power. Construction activities would employ 420 workers during the peak construction period, and more than 200 workers would be employed for a period of approximately six months. Plant operations would employ 35 to 40 persons. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Site developments would disturb 65 acres. Excavation would be required to construct foundations for the turbine units, HRSGs, cooling towers, switchyard, and other components of the plant. Emissions of nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide during plant operation would cause only minimal incremental degradation of localized air quality. Construction activities would result in functional degradation of 0.52 acre of wetlands. Widening of the northern access road would require partial displacement of two wetlands, though the total wetland to be displaced would be less than 0.2 acre. Pipeline construction could result in temporary impacts to less than 0.5 acre of wetlands. Plant operation would consume 42,147 million gallons of water and 623 billion cubic feet of natural gas over the life of the project.

AN - 36412271; 8921 AB - PURPOSE: The updating of a 1983 land allocation plan for 40,236 acres of land associated with the Guntersville Reservoir in Jackson and Marshall counties, Alabama and Marion County, Tennessee is proposed. The 76-mile-long reservoir is located on the Tennessee River. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) administers the reservoir and its associated lands. The facility operates as a multipurpose reservoir designed for navigation, flood control, power production, recreation, and other uses. TVA proposes to use the plan to guide land use approvals, private water use facility permitting, and resource management decisions with respect to the reservoir. Key issues identified during scoping include those associated with visual resources, cultural resources, wetlands, prime farmland conversion, sensitive plant and animal species, significant natural areas, water quality, navigation, terrestrial and aquatic ecology, recreation resources, and socioeconomic conditions. Four alternatives, including continuation of the current 1983 plan (No Action Alternative), are considered in this final EIS. The three action alternatives differ as to how 13 parcels for which TVA has received requests for industrial and recreational development would be allocated. The proposed plan would allocate land into broad categories, including project operations, sensitive resource management, natural resource conservation, industrial/commercial development, developed recreation, and residential access. In addition, approximately 15,703 acres of land currently committed to a specific use through previous land transfers, leases, and contracts would be allocated to those uses. The plan would result in approximately 12.7 percent of the affected lands being allocated to TVA project operations, 55.5 percent to natural resource conservation, 25.5 percent to sensitive resource management, 0.8 percent to industrial/commercial development and 4.2 percent to developed recreation. The action alternatives are identical, with the exception of stipulations regarding the allocation of the 13 parcels for which the TVA received development requests for public recreational, commercial recreational, and industrial purposes. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The revised plan would enhance resource protection and provide for needed economic development opportunities for communities along the Tennessee River Federal and state-listed endangered and threatened species, cultural resources, and wetlands would be protected. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action could result in displacement of up to 780 acres of prime farmland. Future residential, industrial, and recreational developments could result in water quality degradation due to increase soil erosion, chemical usage, and sewage loading and would affect visual aesthetics in the area.

Preparation date: August 3, 2001 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Numerical Simulation of a Natural Gradient Tracer Experiment for the Natural Attenuation Study: Flow and Physical Transport AN - 18094377; 5175640 AB - Results are presented for numerical simulations of ground water flow and physical transport associated with a natural gradient tracer experiment conducted within a heterogeneous alluvial aquifer of the Natural Attenuation Study (NATS) site near Columbus, Mississippi. A principal goal of NATS is to evaluate biogeochemical models that predict the rate and extent of natural biodegradation under field conditions. This paper describes the initial phase in the model evaluation process, i.e., calibration of flow and physical transport models that simulate conservative bromide tracer plume evolution during NATS. An initial large-scale flow model (LSM) is developed encompassing the experimental site and surrounding region. This model is subsequently scaled down in telescopic fashion to an intermediate-scale ground water flow model (ISM) covering the tracer-monitoring network, followed by a small-scale transport model (SSM) focused on the small region of hydrocarbon plume migration observed during NATS. The LSM uses inferred depositional features of the site in conjunction with hydraulic conductivity (K) data from aquifer tests and borehole flowmeter tests to establish large-scale K and flow field trends in and around the experimental site. The subsequent ISM incorporates specified flux boundary conditions and large-scale K trends obtained from the calibrated LSM, while preserving small-scale K structure based on some 4000 flowmeter data for solute transport modeling. The configuration of the ISM-predicted potentiometric surface approximates that of the observed surface within a root mean squared error of 0.15 m. The SSM is based on the dual-domain mass-transfer approach. Despite the well-recognized difficulties in modeling solute transport in extremely heterogeneous media as found at the NATS site, the dual-domain model adequately reproduced the observed bromide concentration distributions. Differences in observed and predicted bromide concentration distributions are attributed to aquifer heterogeneity at the decimeter (dm) and smaller scales. The calibrated transport parameters for the SSM (i.e., 1:7 for the ratio of mobile-to-total porosity; 2.5 x 10 super(-3) day super(-1) for the mass-transfer coefficient; 1 m for longitudinal dispersivity; and 0.1 m for transverse dispersivity) are consistent with separate numerical simulations of two earlier tracer experiments at the site. The multiscale modeling approach adopted in this study permits the incorporation of both large-scale geologic features important for flow simulation and small-scale heterogeneities critical for transport simulation. In addition, the dual-domain transport model provides a foundation for multispecies reactive transport modeling studies of natural attenuation of hydrocarbons during NATS.

AN - 36412101; 8862 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an east-west highway from Interstate Highway 65 (I-65) in north-central Alabama eastward to the Alabama/Georgia state line is proposed. The project would constitute a portion of the Memphis to Atlanta Congressional High Priority Corridor. The southern boundary of the High Priority Corridor begins at I-65 north of Athens, Alabama, and extends eastward, passing south of Guntersville, Alabama, and intersecting with the Alabama/Georgia state line south of Alabama State Route 9 (AL 9). The northern boundary of the study area begins at I-65 north of Athens, Alabama, and extends eastward passing north of Huntsville, Alabama, and curving to the southeast to pass north of Scottsboro and Fort Payne, Alabama, before continuing southeast to intersect with the Alabama/Georgia state line north of AL 9. The portion of the project under consideration in this draft EIS would extend approximately 91 miles. Six build alternatives, a No Action Alternative, and mass transit and demand management strategies are considered in this draft EIS. The six build alternatives would vary largely in alignment; associated design alterations are also under consideration. The highway would be a fully controlled access facility and generally lie within a 295-foot right-of-way, but greater right-of-way area would be necessary at interchange locations. Depending of the build alternative selected, the estimated cost of the project is approximately $1.3 billion to approximately $1.7 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide a safe, efficient freeway linking communities in northeastern Alabama, enhance east-west regional and interstate mobility within the National Highway System, and provide infrastructure that would promote economic development and commerce by connecting regional businesses centers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the build alternatives, the rights-of-way requirements would result in the conversion of approximately five square miles of land to roadway use, involving the displacement of commercial, residential, agricultural, and forested land and the associated wildlife habitat, including habitat for federally protected species of plants and animals. The project would include the relocations of up to 43 businesses, 6 nonprofit organizations, and 314 residences. The project would also result in the loss of up to approximately 122.8 acres of wetlands and the traversing of floodplains. Culverts and bridge structures would be required, involving channel modifications in some areas. Traffic-generated noise levels along the corridor would exceed federal standards at up to 549 sensitive receptor sites, though noise barriers could mitigate some of these impacts. Several historic and archaeological sites, potentially eligible or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, would be adversely affected by the project. Construction workers would encounter up to 18 hazardous waste sites along the project corridor.

AN - 36415108; 8524 AB - PURPOSE: The modification of the Kentucky Lock Addition project at Kentucky Dam at Tennessee River Mile 22.4, located in western Kentucky, is proposed. A final EIS of May 1992 addressed the construction of a 110-foot by 1,200-foot lock at Kentucky Dam. When the original final EIS was completed, several key design decisions could not be made for some major project features due to the need for completion of additional engineering and hydraulic modeling studies. Two major in-stream features evaluated include the navigation training dike and the spillway training dikes. Other features evaluated involve design changes made to the project based on engineering advances and additional recreational mitigation features that were not specifically detailed in the final EIS. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final supplement to the final EIS. The No Action Alternative would be a "fallback" to the previously approved project as described in the final EIS and the subsequent 2000 Highway Bridge Relocation Environmental Assessment. The proposed action would involve several changes, each of which are independent features, and could be implemented with or without the other proposed changes. The proposed action would involve shifting the lock location upstream about 200 feet and riverward about 20 feet; the modification of construction methods to lessen areas with cofferdams and to construct more features in the "wet"; the construction of an access road to the Vulcan Disposal Area; mitigation for the loss of the Tennessee Valley Authority's Taylor Park Campground; fill placement in the park; mitigation for the closure of the east bank boat ramp by expanding the west bank boat basin and constructing a boat ramp and courtesy dock in the basin; the use of the expanded boat basin for contractor activities; refinements to upstream and downstream lock features and approach channels; the provision of a navigation training dike off Powerhouse Island to improve commercial navigation conditions; mitigation for west bank river bank closures via the construction of downstream fishing jetties and extension of an existing boat ramp; the construction of spillway training dikes to improve recreational boating safety; the possible construction of a contractor access ramps on Powerhouse Island and the east bank; the construction of a lock access road; the elimination of upstream and downstream mooring cells; the elimination of dredging to widen the downstream navigation channel to the Interstate Highway 24 (I-24) bridge; the elimination of placement of excavated or dredged material on the east bank from Russell Creek to the I-24 bridge; and the elimination of aquatic disposal site at Tennessee River Mile 19.9. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The efficiency of river navigation would improve significantly due to the existence of the lock and ancillary facilities. Measures recommended in this supplemental EIS would reduce impacts to biotic communities and provide improved recreational access to the river. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in the short-term disturbance of land and waters during the construction and use of the access road and filling at the campground site. The construction of the fishing jetties and training dikes and dredging during the access ramp construction would result in the short-term degradation of water quality and the displacement of benthic habitat. Minor loss of floodplain capacity would occur due to the placement of additional fill.

AN - 36409378; 8516 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a freeway from the Mississippi/Alabama state line to Interstate Highway 65 (I-65), located in northwestern Alabama, is proposed. The project constitutes the western portion of the Memphis to Atlanta Congressional High Priority Corridor designated by Section 1105(c)(7) of the Intermodal Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. The eastern portion, from I-65 to the Alabama/Georgia state line, is being studied concurrently and will be the subject of another EIS process. While the documents are being prepared separately, the intent is that the two documents will be processed simultaneously. Urbanized areas within the corridor, which is largely rural and dominated by agricultural land uses, include the cities of Florence, Sheffield, Muscle Shoals, Athens, and Decatur. The area currently lacks an efficient interstate-quality east-west facility to provide for the regional movement of travelers and goods. One issue associated with this project is the proposed location and the preferences of many of the municipalities in the corridor for an alternative that would be adjacent to or through their community. Four build alternatives, a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and multi-modal options are considered in this draft EIS. The project would involve the construction of a 69.8- to 77.5-mile east-west, controlled-access highway, within a minimum right-of-way of 295 feet. Under any of the four build alternatives, access would be controlled via interchanges, requiring additional rights-of-way at some locations. Depending on the build alternative selected, the estimated cost of the project is $640.6 million to 718.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway would increase east-west regional and interstate mobility and provide infrastructure to promote economic development in northwestern Alabama. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the build alternative selected, rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 176 to 318 residences and four to six commercial establishments, as well as the loss of 1,574 to 2,224 acres of prime and unique farmland and 253 to 358.5 acres of wetlands. Regardless of the build alternative selected, the project would require the displacement of one church. All of the build alternatives would cross the floodplains of numerous major streams, possibly including the Tennessee and/or Elk rivers. The facility would traverse the Natchez Trace Parkway, an historic and scenic travel and trade route. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at 42 to 71 sensitive receptor sites.

Preparation date: May 29, 2001 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ADDITION OF ELECTRIC GENERATION PEAKING CAPACITY AT GREENFIELD SITES, KEMPER COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI. AN - 36409014; 8399 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of up to four simple-cycle, gas-fired combustion turbines at one of two sites, located near the city of DeKalb in eastern Mississippi, is proposed. The project would provide generation capacity during periods of peak electricity demand. Projections by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) show expected peak demands growing at a rate of 2.4 percent from 2000 to 2005 and beyond. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Two plant site alternatives, the Sucarnoochee Creek site and the Hamilton Branch site, are located approximately four miles east of DeKalb and seven miles west of the city of Scooba. Both sites are currently occupied by agricultural uses. The generating plant would contain four turbines of the type used for service in the peaking mode of operation. Either of the two plants alternatives under consideration in this draft EIS would provide up to 340 megawatts of new capacity as early as May 2002. Each turbine would be capable of firing distillate oil or natural gas. Excavation would be required to construct foundations for the turbine units, switchyards, and connections to the new 161-kilovolt (161-kV) transmission line that would connect the site to the regional power grid. Other appurtenances and ancillary equipment could include transformers, demineralized water supply system, fuel oil piping and storage tanks, and support buildings. The transmission line would extend to the existing TVA substation in DeKalb. A small substation would be constructed at the intersection of Cobb Road and Highway 16 to connect with the existing 46-kV power line and to step voltage down to 13 kV. A 13-kV line would be built along Cobb Road to the selected site to provide power for construction and emergency situations. A water supply pipeline would be installed between the plant and DeKalb, and a natural gas pipeline would be constructed to the Hamilton Branch Site to connect with the interstate pipeline owned by the Tennessee Gas Company (TGC). A TGC pipeline already passes through the Sucarnoochee Creek Site. Cobb Road would be upgraded from Highway 16 to the chosen site. Other expected actions would include the upgrading of TVA transmission lines from the Philadelphia substation to the DeKalb substation and from the DeKalb substation to the Weyerhaeuser substation to accommodate the increased loads. The preferred alternative would involve the construction of the plant at the Sucarnoochee Creek site. The generating units would be operated no more than 30 percent of the hours during any particular year to meet peaking demands. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The addition of the combustion turbines would help TVA meet its peaking capacity requirements in a reliable and cost-effective manner. The construction of the facility would employ up to 130 workers for 12 months, and operational activities would employ seven workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The plant would result in the loss of 65 acres of agricultural land, woodland, and wetland and the associated wildlife habitat at the site. The construction and operation of the turbines would release particulate matter and other pollutants into the atmosphere. Groundwater withdrawals for plant operation would exacerbate aquifer drawdown somewhat in the long-term, though existing wells would not be effected. Traffic levels on Highway 16 would increase by six percent during the construction. Some minor shifts in low-density, informal outdoor recreational activities could occur, and the landscape at the site would be altered significantly. Significant historic resources would be adversely affected.

It consists of dark gray, organic-rich clay entombing abundant mammalian, amphibian, and plant fossils, overlain by medium gray varved clay with minor sand interbeds, overlain by late Pleistocene to Holocene alluvium. The site lies just beyond the mapped extent of one of several strike-slip faults exposed at the surface near Johnson City, Tennessee. These strike-slip faults do not follow the dominant trend (N 55 E) of thrust faults in this part of the Tennessee Valley and Ridge physiographic province. Instead, the faults cut nearly E-W across Cambrian through Ordovician sedimentary rocks with maximum displacement amounts of one mile, although displacements are generally less. The strike-slip faults may act as displacement transfer zones between Alleghanian thrust faults, and may also localize karst formation in near-surface carbonates. One possible explanation for the Gray site's location may be greater carbonate solution in a zone of weakness at the tip of one of these E-W striking faults where it loses macroscopic displacement. Similar sites, if they exist, may be difficult to identify based on geomorphology (the Gray site had no surface expression and was not discovered until road excavation had begun), so searches concentrated along the trend of these faults may be most productive. Strike-slip faults of this orientation are not common in the Valley and Ridge and have not been mapped in large numbers further south. Earthquakes in the east Tennessee seismic zone have fault plane solutions with east-west orientations but occur at depths below the Alleghanian basal detachment fault. The relationship between surface faulting and the earthquake focal plane orientations is unclear, but the similarity in trend suggests basement structures influence not only the location of Alleghanian strike-slip faults but also the location of the Gray site.

Paper No. 2.2 N1 - Last updated - 2010-05-03 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FUTURE WATER SUPPLY NEEDS IN THE UPPER DUCK RIVER BASIN; BEDFORD, MARSHALL, MAURY, AND WILLIAMSON COUNTIES, TENNESSEE. AN - 36420385; 8379 AB - PURPOSE: The meeting of future water supply needs to the year 2050 for water supply in the upper Duck River watershed, located in central Tennessee, is proposed. A needs analysis report, issued in August 1998, indicated that the minimum flow being provided by the Normandy Dam would meet the water supply and water quality control needs of the Bedford and Marshall county water service areas throughout the 50-year study period. Future demand in the Maury /southern Williamson County water service area above 40 cubic feet per second (cfs), which appears increasingly likely to occur in the years following 2015, would have to be met by other water supply sources, which would have to be able to supply as much as 22 cfs by 2050. In addition to the No Action Alternative (Alternative A), this final programmatic EIS considers four conceptual action alternatives developed to met this water supply need. These include two alternatives which could be implemented within the service area, specifically, a reservoir on Fountain Creek (Alternative B) and a downstream water intake and pumping plant on the Duck River (Alternative C). Another alternative (Alternative D), which would affect other parts of the Duck River watershed, would involve raising the Normandy Dam pool level. The fourth action alternative (Alternative E), which would affect an area outside the Duck River watershed, would involve constructing a water supply intake and pumping station on the northern embayment of the Tims Ford Reservoir and installing a 20-mile pipeline, supported by a booster station, to transport water to a discharge point on the Dick River near Shelbyville. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Any of the action alternatives would ensure adequate water supply to the Maury/southern Williamson County water service area, providing a necessary resource for continued development of the region. Alternative D would meet water needs through 2035, while Alternatives B, C, and E would each meet these requirements through 2050. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: In general, the extent of potential environmental impacts of the action alternatives would be related to the amount of land area to be modified or disturbed. The downstream intake and the pipeline alternatives would have only short-term adverse impacts associated with construction activities. The alternatives involving the Fountain Creek Reservoir and the Normandy Dam would involve modifications in much larger areas. Alternatives B, C, and E would include those adverse impacts associated with the construction of some length of pipeline, including soil disturbance, the temporary destruction of vegetation, the sedimentation of receiving waters, and potential disturbance of cultural resources. Alternatives B and D would involve the construction of an enlargement of a reservoir, adversely affecting water quality, aquatic life, archaeological sites, and historic structures. Alternative B would also require the acquisition of approximately 800 acres of land. LEGAL MANDATES: Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933 (16 U.S.C. 831 et seq.).

AN - 36410767; 8378 AB - PURPOSE: The modification of the Kentucky Lock Addition project at Kentucky Dam at Tennessee River Mile 22.4, located in western Kentucky, is proposed. A final EIS of February 1992 addressed the construction of a 110-foot-by-1,200-foot lock at Kentucky Dam. When the original final EIS was completed, several key design decisions could not be made for some major project features due to the need for the completion of additional engineering and hydraulic modeling studies. Two major in-stream features evaluated in this draft supplement to the final EIS include the navigation training dike and the spillway training dikes. Other features evaluated in this draft supplement involve design changes made to the project based on engineering advances and additional recreational mitigation features that were not specifically detailed in the final EIS. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would be a fall-back to the previously approved project as described in the final EIS and the subsequent 2000 Highway Bridge Relocation Environmental Assessment, are considered in this draft supplement. The proposed action would involve several changes, each of which would be independent features and could be implemented with or without the other proposed changes. It would involve a shift in the location of the lock by about 200 feet upstream and by about 20 feet riverward; the modification of the construction methods to lessen areas with cofferdams and to construct more features in the wet; the construction of an access road to the Vulcan Disposal Area; mitigation for the loss of the Tennessee Valley Authority's Taylor Park Campground; the placement of fill in the park; mitigation for the closure of the east bank boat ramp by expanding the west bank boat basin and constructing a boat ramp and courtesy dock in the basin; the use of the expanded boat basin for contractor activities; refinements to upstream and downstream lock features and approach channels; the provision of a navigation training dike off Powerhouse Island to improve commercial navigation conditions; mitigation for west bank river bank closures via the construction of downstream fishing jetties and extension of an existing boat ramp; the construction of spillway training dikes to improve recreational boating safety; the possible construction of a contractor access ramps on Powerhouse Island and the east bank; the construction of a lock access road; the elimination of upstream and downstream mooring cells; the elimination of dredging to widen the downstream navigation channel to the Interstate Highway 24 (I-24) bridge; the elimination of the placement of excavated or dredged material on the east bank from Russell Creek to the I-24 bridge; and the elimination of the aquatic disposal site at Tennessee River Mile 19.9. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The existence of the lock and ancillary facilities would improve river navigation efficiency. New measures would reduce impacts to biotic communities and provide improved recreational access to the river. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction and use of the access road and the filling at the campground site would disturb land and waters in the short term. Fishing jetty and training dike construction and dredging during access ramp construction would degrade water quality in the short term and result in the loss of benthic habitat. The placement of additional fill would result in the minor loss of floodplain capacity.

Load rates and removal efficiencies of most metals were generally greater in the constructed wetlands than in the natural wetland. There were similar sediment and plant metal concentrations between one constructed wetland and the natural wetland and greater metal concentrations in the sediments and plants in the other constructed wetland compared to the natural wetland. Data indicate that Mn, Zn, Cu, Ni, B, and Cr are being accumulated in the plants at all three wetlands, although accumulation of metals by these plants accounts for only a small percentage of the removal of the annual metal load supplied to each wetland.

AN - 72411590; 11804126 AB - Scientists at the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), and in collaboration with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), are continuing to develop and refine an innovative wastewater treatment system referred to as reciprocating subsurface-flow constructed wetlands. Reciprocation relates to patented improvements in the design and operation of paired subsurface-flow constructed wetlands, such that contiguous cells are filled and drained on a frequent and recurrent basis. This operating technique turns the entire wetland system into a fixed-film biological reactor, in which it is possible to control redox potential in alternating aerobic and anaerobic zones. Reciprocating systems enable manipulation of wastewater treatment functions by controlling such parameters as hydraulic retention time, frequency of reciprocation, reciprocation cycle time, depth of reciprocation, and size and composition of substrate. These improved wetland technologies have been used for treating municipal/domestic wastewater, high strength animal wastewater, and mixed wastewater streams containing acids, recalcitrant compounds, solvents, antifreeze compounds, heavy metals, explosives, and fertilizer nutrients.

The measurements confirmed previous suggestions that NO sub(y) species are removed from the plume at a faster rate than SO sub(2). The differential removal rate (the difference between loss rate of NO sub(y) and that of SO sub(2)) was estimated to be 0.06 h super(-1). This value implies that the NO sub(y) loss rate is in the range of 0.09-0.14 h super(-1). The application of a mathematical argument, based on the convolution integral, enabled improved synchronization of the data from the SO sub(2) and NO sub(y) instruments. Examination of the synchronized data revealed that the concentration ratio of SO sub(2) and NO sub(y) varies across the plume. Near the source it is higher at the wings of the plume, while in the core of the plume it is similar to the ratio at the release point. Two possible explanations of the observations are discussed: conversion to non-measurable NO sub(y) species, and in-plume loss of NO sub(y) (as HNO sub(3)) via dry deposition.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-10-26 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Towards a Science-Based Integrated Ozone-Fine Particle Control Strategy AN - 16148992; 5404792 AB - Epidemiology studies relating health effects to ambient levels of ozone and fine particles have led to the modification of standards in the United States for these pollutants (substitution of an 8-h standard for ozone at 80 ppbv, and addition of 24-h and annual standards for fine particles). The interrelationships of these pollutants in the atmosphere suggest the need for an integrated, science-based strategy for their control. Secondary ozone formation has been controlled through emission controls on VOC and NO sub(x) precursors. Fine particles are secondary products largely resulting from the oxidation of precursors (SO sub(2), NO sub(x), and VOCs). The key intermediates in both types of secondary process are free radical species and the photochemically labile compounds that produce them in the atmosphere. However, due to the complex and nonlinear nature of the processes, reductions in precursors may lead to unexpected changes in ozone and fine particle formation rates. For example, reduction in NO sub(x) emissions may reduce ozone and nitric acid levels, but lead also to increased rates of sulfate formation in clouds and increased ammonia availability for neutralization of acidic sulfate aerosols. Reductions of SO sub(2) may reduce aerosol sulfate levels in the summer, but have no effect in other seasons. Reductions in VOCs may reduce ozone levels in urban core areas, but not elsewhere. An integrated, regionally and seasonally specific, emission reduction strategy is needed to cost-effectively reduce both ozone and fine particle levels.

AN - 36406863; 8168 AB - PURPOSE: The provision of water to meet the future water supply needs in the upper Duck River watershed, located in central Tennessee, is proposed. An analysis of the future water supply needs for water supply in the upper Duck River watershed of Tennessee to the year 2050 is presented, along with proposed means of meeting those needs. A needs analysis report, issued in August 1998, indicated that the minimum flow being provided by the Normandy Dam would meet the water supply and water quality control needs of the Bedford and Marshall county water service areas throughout the 50-year study period. Future demand in the Maury/southern Williamson County water service area above 40 cubic feet per second (cfs), which appears increasingly likely to occur in the years following 2015, would have to be met by other water supply sources, which would have to be able to supply as much as 22 cfs by 2050. In addition to a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), this draft EIS considers four conceptual action alternatives developed to meet this water supply need. Two of these alternatives could be implemented within the service area, specifically, a reservoir on Fountain Creek (Alternative B) and a downstream intake and pumping plant on the Duck River (Alternative C). Another alternative (Alternative D), which would affect other parts of the Duck River watershed, would involve raising the Normandy Dam pool level. The fourth action alternative (Alternative E), which would affect an area outside the Duck River watershed, would involve constructing a water supply intake and pumping station on the northern embayment of the Tims Ford Reservoir and installing a 20-mile pipeline, supported by a booster station, to transport water to a discharge point on the Duck River near Shelbyville. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Any of the action alternatives would ensure adequate water supply to the Maury/southern Williamson County water service area, providing a necessary resource for continued development of the region. Alternative D would meet water needs through 2035, while Alternative B, Alternative C, or Alternative D would meet these requirements through 2050. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: In general, the extent of potential environmental impacts of the action alternatives would be related to the amount of land area to be modified or disturbed. The downstream intake and the pipeline alternatives would have only short-term adverse impacts associated with construction activities. The alternatives involving the Fountain Creek Reservoir and the Normandy Dam would involve modifications in much larger areas. Alternative B, Alternative C, and Alternative E would include those associated with the construction of some length of pipeline, including soil disturbance and the associated temporary destruction of vegetation and sedimentation of receiving waters and the potential disturbance of cultural resources. Alternative B and Alternative D would involve the construction of enlargement of a reservoir, adversely affecting water quality, aquatic life, archaeological sites, and historic structures. Alternative B would also require the acquisition of approximately 800 acres of land. LEGAL MANDATES: Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933 (16 U.S.C. 831 et seq.).

Since April 1997, Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has measured fine particles (PM sub(2.5)) in the Tennessee Valley region using prototype Federal Reference Method (FRM) samplers, and results indicate that the new NAAQS annual standard will be difficult to meet in this region. The composition of many of these fine particle samples has been determined using analytical methods for elements, soluble ions, and organic and elemental carbon. The results indicate that about one-third of the measured mass is SO sub(4) super(-2), one-third is organic aerosol, and the remainder is other materials. The fraction of SO sub(4) super(-2) is highest at rural sites and during summer conditions, with greater proportions of organic aerosol in urban areas throughout the year. Additional measurements of fine particle mass and composition have been made to obtain the short-term variability of fine mass as it pertains to human exposure. Measurements to account for semi-volatile constituents of fine mass (nitrates, semi-volatile organics) indicate that the FRM may significantly under-measure organic constituents. The potentially controllable anthropogenic fraction of organic aerosols is still largely unknown.

AN - 71741474; 10939213 AB - Airborne measurements were made of gaseous and particulate species in the plume of a large coal-fired power plant after flue gas desulfurization (FGD) controls were installed. These measurements were compared with measurements made before the controls were installed. The light scattering and number and volume distributions of plume excess particles were determined by nephelometry and optical particle counting techniques. The plume impact based on optical techniques was much lower than that observed in earlier measurements. Indeed, plume excess volumes as a function of particle size were of the same magnitude as the variability of the background volume distribution. In situ excess plume scattering actually decreased with distance from the source, in contrast to pre-FGD conditions. The upper limit for the dry rate of SO2-to-SO4(2-) conversion was estimated from plume excess volume measurements to be about 4% hr-1. This is slightly greater than the upper limit, 3.5% hr-1, estimated by earlier researchers, but the same as that estimated using the present technique with the earlier data. The cross-plume profile of volume suggests SO2-to-SO4(2-) conversion is highest at the plume edges. The greatest benefit of SO2 reduction on plume excess volume and visibility appears to occur far down-wind of the source.

AN - 16355918; 8081 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a 10-year comprehensive land management plan for Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) lands around the Tellico Reservoir, located in eastern Tennessee, is proposed. The Tellico project operates as a multipurpose reservoir providing flood control, navigation, water supply, economic development, recreation, and electric power generation benefits; the latter is provided via the supply of water to Fort Loudoun Dam and other hydropower facilities. The original planning effort resulted in the project lands being allocated to meet anticipated demand for residential, commercial, and industrial development; recreation; wildlife management; forestry; cultural resource protection; and agricultural, navigation, flood control, and power production uses. The plan would address 12,643 acres of reservoir property and 360.8 shoreline miles that lie above the summer operating range elevation. The plan identifies the most suitable range of uses for 139 parcels of TVA public land. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would continue the current land use plan, are considered in the draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative B, the proposed Tellico Reservoir Land Management Plan) would allocate most TVA land into categories that emphasize sensitive resource management (preservation and enhancement of wetlands, biodiversity, and archaeological and historic resources) and natural resource conservation. Public recreation projects that have been conceptually proposed by various agencies for Tellico Reservoir would be considered under either alternative. A minimal level of additional development would be proposed to accommodate the following proposals: a conference center, restaurants and lounges, boat docking facilities, fishing and marine concessions, walking trails, and general parking proposed by the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians on a 38-acre tract located in Vonore between Highway 411 and the Tellico River; a linear park or greenway along the right descending bank of the reservoir from Lotterdale Cover downstream to the recreation parcel upstream of Lower Jackson Bend proposed by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation; and a recreation site in the Coyote Springs area to include picnic areas, walking trails and a greenway proposed by the TVA. TVA would also develop a river corridor along 7.7 miles of the upper Tellico River portion of the reservoir that would consist of a linear greenspace along both streambanks of selected tributaries entering the reservoir managed for light boat access at specific sites, riverside trails, and interpretive activities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would reverse the trend toward decline in visual aesthetics by protecting land with distinctive visual characteristic or outstanding scenic qualities. Approximately 63 percent of the 410 identified archaeological resource sites would lie in zones that afford such sites a high degree of protection. Specific land use categories would protect sensitive terrestrial animals and their habitats and sensitive ecological areas. Several large wetland areas would be protected as well, and large lowland areas protected due to cultural concerns would afford protection to aquatic species. The area of lands allocated for recreation would be expanded, and the integration of recreation management with management of other reservoir uses would be enhanced. The designation of lands as sensitive would provide additional protection to reservoir and, thereby, downstream water quality. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: By decreasing the emphasis on commercial, industrial, and residential uses, the plan could adversely affect economic uses of the area, and the plan would result in a slight decline in the amount of farmland available.

AN - 16344725; 8082 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a water supply project to meet the future needs of Union County, located in northern Mississippi, is proposed. Water in Union County is currently supplied by numerous wells. Recently, pumping from these wells has lowered groundwater levels and several new wells have been unproductive. Water demand projections from the county predict that nearly 7.0 million gallons of water will be needed per day by the year 2050. The Union County has determined that in order to attract new industry, a more reliable and cost-efficient water source is needed. Issues of concern include water supply needs and availability, stream flow and water quality, groundwater, geology and soils, biological diversity, wetlands and floodplains, land use, recreation, archaeological and historic resources, transportation systems, socioeconomics, and environmental justice. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would continue the use of the existing wells, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would involve the construction of a 960-acre multipurpose reservoir on Cane Creek, a water treatment plant, and a connecting pipeline. A 2,000-foot-long earthen dam would be constructed approximately 1.75 miles upstream of the confluence of Cane Creek with the Little Tallahatchie River to create an impoundment covering 960 acres. The water treatment facility would be constructed downstream of the proposed Clear Creek Dam, and an associated pipeline would connect it to the existing Union County water distribution system. A 5.5-mile segment of the Albany-Ripley number 2 161-kilovolt transmission line would be relocated from the reservoir basin to one of two potential routes north and east of the reservoir. The line would be built on a 100-foot right-of-way, using single- or double-pole metal structures with horizontal cross arms. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The provision of a reliable water source for the county would allow for the continues social and economic development of the area. The reservoir construction would provide flat water recreational opportunities, increasing local government revenues and land values. Flood flows immediately below the dam and in the north section of New Albany would be reduced under the preferred alternative. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would include the relocation of 5.5 miles of the Albany-Ripley 161-kilovolt transmission line, the inundation of 960 acres of terrestrial habitat and a portion of Cane Creek, the loss of 30 additional acres for the construction of the treatment plant, potential water quality problems in the reservoir due to increased water temperatures, and a reduction in water quality downstream of the dam. It would also result in the loss of 48 acres of wetlands, 1,614 acres of farmland, and two state-listed rare plant species populations, and could affect cultural resources.

AN - 16342796; 8079 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a comprehensive land management and disposition plan for 6,453 acres of lands associated with the Tims Ford Reservoir, located in southern Tennessee, is proposed. The reservoir, a 10,700-acre impoundment located at mile 133.3 on the Elk River, was completed in 1970 by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). The projects authorized purposes include flood control, hydroelectric power generation, water supply, recreation, and economic development. The reservoir is 34 miles long at full pool. Depth at the dam is 143 feet and average depth is 50 feet. Average annual discharge from the dam is 940 cubic feet per second (cfs), resulting in a hydraulic residence time of approximately 280 days. Annual drawdowns for flood storage average approximately 18 feet. The hydroelectric plant has two units, specifically a generating unit rated at 45,000 kilowatts (kW) (3,8890 cfs) and a minimum flow unit rated at 39 kW (74 cfs). Of the lands addressed, 1,856 acres are currently owned and managed by the TVA, the remaining 4,559 acres of land are currently owned and managed by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC). Issues identified in the scoping process are groundwater, soils, surface water quality, aquatic ecology, terrestrial ecology, threatened and endangered species, wetlands, land use, cultural resources, recreation, visual resources, socioeconomics, and environmental justice. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, TDEC would use the plan to implement Tennessee Public Chapter 816 of the 1996 Acts of the Tennessee General Assembly, while TVA would use the plan to guide land use approvals, private water use facility permitting, and resource management decisions with respect to the Tims Ford Reservoir. The joint plan would allocate land into broad categories, including project operations, sensitive resource management, natural resource conservation, industrial and commercial development, recreation, and residential access. In addition approximately 2,215 acres, 34 percent of the land under consideration, currently committed to specific uses through previous land transfers, leases, and contracts would be allocated to the currently designated uses. The plan would result in about 37 percent of Tims Ford Reservoir lands being allocated to natural resource conservation, 25 percent to recreation, 24 percent to residential access, and nine percent to sensitive resource protection. The preferred alternative (Alternative B1) would consist of a combination of development and conservation. A new zone allocation (zone 8) would provide shoreline property owners the incentive of gaining water access in exchange for the grant of an easement up to 100 feet wide. It includes an allocation change that would result in additional acres at the lower area of the lake being dedicated to natural resource conservation. It would set aside parcels containing sensitive resources and habitats, thereby placing these lands beyond the reach of future developmental activity. The other action alternatives would allocate either more land to natural resource conservation (48 percent) or more land to residential access (41 percent). POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would allow TDEC and TVA to develop lands associated with the reservoir for conservation, recreation, and economic development purposes dictated by their state and federal mandates. The plan would balance economic development with other natural and social resource requirements. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increases in residential, recreational, and commercial (light industrial) shoreline development would result in the displacement of forest and associated wildlife habitat. Increases in suitable habitat for cowbirds would adversely affect the nesting success of success of birds. Shoreline development could also result in a loss of potential suitable, but presently unoccupied, habitat for endangered species dependent on shoreline habitat. Wetland functions and values could also be adversely affected. Aquatic habitat suitability would decline as more shoreline opened for residential development. Residential development could also lead to nutrient enrichment of some reservoirs and fecal coliform contamination in some embayments.

AN - 16357250; 7931 AB - PURPOSE: The addition of peaking and/or baseload capacity to the power generating system of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) at one of three greenfield sites, located in western Tennessee, is proposed. The TVA has identified a need to add 3,000 megawatts (MWs) of baseload and peaking capacity through the year 2002. The proposed action would involve the construction and operation of up to 16 single-cycle or combined-cycle, natural gas-fired combustion turbines at one of the three sites. The turbines would be capable of firing both natural gas and number 2 distillate oil. These additional turbines would add up to 700 MW (Alternative 1), 1,400 MW (Alternative 2), or 1,700 MW (Alternative 3) of power production as early May of 2001. The sites under consideration, all of which are now under cultivation, are located nine to 12 miles to the northeast of Brownsville. Excavation would be required in order to construct foundations for the turbine units, switchyards, and connections to the regional 500-kilovolt transmission lines that pass through each site. Groundwater supply facilities, including wells, would also be included in the project design, and the project would also require the installation of wastewater collection, treatment, and transport systems, as well as ammonia piping, handling, and storage facilities. Other appurtenances and ancillary equipment could include transformers, demineralized-water supply systems, fuel oil pipeline and storage tanks, and support buildings. The expected offsite actions would include the upgrading of a TVA transmission line segment to accommodate the increased generation loads and the installation of natural gas pipeline connections to one or two nearby interstate gas supply pipelines. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2B) would involve the construction of a combustion turbine electric-generating plant with 16 GE 7EA turbines (or equivalent turbines from another vendor) operating in a simple-cycle mode and generating up to 1,400 MW of electricity at the Lagoon Creek Site. The units would be capable of firing both natural gas and low sulfur distillate oil to maximize flexibility and lower operating costs. They would be operated no more than 30 percent of the hours during a year to meet peaking demands. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would allow the TVA to meet its projected requirements in the near-term, ensuring a reliable source of power for the region and supporting additional economic development. The project would provide permanent employment for 16 workers. The construction activities would employ 220 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The operation of the facility would result in the release of hazardous and other air pollutants and wastewater. The use of groundwater would result in a slight, but widespread, drawdown of the Memphis Sand and adjacent aquifers over a large part of western Tennessee. A moderate drawdown of 10 to 20 feet would occur within two miles of the plant. The transmission and natural gas line construction could adversely affect floodplain lands, including wetlands, as well as the Hatchie State Scenic River and the Hatchie National Wildlife Refuge. The conversion of agricultural land at the plant site would result in the loss of terrestrial wildlife habitat. Suitable habitat for state-listed protected species could exist in one or more of the streams to be crossed by the natural gas pipeline connection. The construction activities would increase traffic on roads serving the site.

AN - 52102096; 2002-043812 AB - The East Tennessee Seismic Zone (ETSZ) is the second most active in the eastern United States in terms of earthquake occurrence rate, although modern earthquakes here have been recorded only to a magnitude of 4.6. The search for evidence of large (M>5) prehistoric earthquakes, commonly expressed as liquefaction features in sandy alluvial deposits in the eastern U.S., has been handicapped in the ETSZ by the impoundment of major rivers and their floodplains beneath reservoirs. An earlier study of Appalachian neotectonics identified an intersection of north-south and east-west oriented lineaments near Tellico Plains, TN. This area continues to be seismically active and small earthquakes have been located within 5 km to the north and south. In early October, 1999, deformation in terrace deposits along the Tellico River was exposed in the face of a small hillslope during widening of the Cherahola Skyway through Tellico Plains, TN. Munsey first noted that elongate pebble patterns here are inclined and folded, suggesting a possible tectonic influence. These deposits overlie Sandsuck Formation siltstone in the hanging wall of the Great Smoky fault, and the extent of weathering indicates a Pleistocene age. The deposit comprises two layers, a lower disturbed zone containing cobbles ranging from saprolitized angular graywacke to fresh rounded vein quartz, and an upper undisturbed zone of rounded pebbles. Most impressive in the disturbed zone is pebble layers cored by saprolite with associated small planar deformed zones defining faults with <10 cm displacement. The folds may result from soft-sediment deformation and liquefaction triggered by a prehistoric earthquake. With the possibility of human disturbance or other explanation for the deformation, however, more of the terrace deposits in the area need to be investigated.

AN - 71180073; 10849844 AB - Concern with environmental issues such as global climate change has stimulated research into the development of more environmentally friendly technologies and energy sources. One critical area of our economy is liquid transportation fuels. This article presents the results of the biodegradability potential of newly developed engineered fuels and compares the results to the biodegradability of conventional fuels and alternative fuels in current use. Biodegradability potential was determined under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Fuels that have a high degree of components derived from renewable sources proved to have a higher degradability potential than those composed of petroleum components.

It consists of dark, gray organic-rich clay entombing abundant mammalian, amphibian, and plant fossils, overlain by medium gray varved clay with minor sand interbeds, overlain by late Pleistocene to Holocene alluvium. The varved clay contains well-developed systematic joints with orientations parallel to known sets in nearby Paleozoic bedrock (approx. E-W, N-S, 045, and 315), and sets not present in the underlying Paleozoic "basement" (approx. 030, 055). It also contains isolated massive blocks of Ordovician Knox Group carbonate up to 4 m that disturbed the layering immediately surrounding them. The larger blocks lie along the same stratigraphic horizon, implying that they arrived coevally. The largest block is enveloped by a breccia of carbonate, chert, and clay some 25 cm thick, whereas the next-to-largest folded the layering immediately beneath it. A zone of dewatering and related minor faulting (3 m displacement) occurs nearby along the contact between the clays. The combination of the large isolated carbonate blocks and dewatering structures is difficult to explain, and could be unrelated. A working hypothesis that explains most structural features present involves initial erosion that produced a pinnacled karst surface on the Knox carbonate bedrock; some of the pinnacles could have formed "precariously balanced" rocks and arches. Such features are known in modern eastern Tennessee. A moderate-size (m = 5-6) earthquake in the East Tennessee seismic zone could have set the blocks in motion, causing them to bounce and roll into the existing lake, with their sudden impact producing local dewatering of lake sediments.

Because these parameters are interdependent, certain parameters must be chosen arbitrarily as independent variables, and trial and error is necessary to produce a final design. Theoretical models of meander plan form provide insights into the nature of stable meanders, but the use of these models for design has been limited. A methodology that makes the interdependency of parameters explicit would simplify and improve the design process for rehabilitation projects. The sine-generated curve model proposed by Langbein and Leopold (1966) provides a complete description of stable meander plan form, in which meander shape can be considered a function of sinuosity and a scale factor. We applied this model to propose a design procedure that reduces the number of independent design variables and the need for iterative solutions.

During the past 40 years the effects of the ventilation system on CRH has not always been fully understood or only understood by a few individuals. This is compounded by the practice of many in the commercial power production industry as considering the CRH (and associated HVAC) a low priority system. Additionally, there have been numerous documented instances where the CRH ventilation systems have been given little maintenance resulting in degradation of the CRH boundary to such an extent that the existing analysis could not support the actual plant configuration. The CRH issues received new interest in 1998 when the Nuclear Regulatory Commision (NRC), Nuclear Energy Institue (NEI), and Nuclear HVAC Utilities Issues Group (NHUG) held a CRH workshop in Washington, D. C. This workshop presented the issues facing the industry in all facets of CRH. Chief among the facets were the ventilation systems serving the CRH boundary. Following the workshop the NEI formed a TF to address CRH. This TF is currently working directly with the NRC to develop a voluntary document that can be used to assess CRH. This paper presents the issues specific to the ventilation systems as they now appear in the development of NEI 99-03, "Control Room Habitability Assessment Guidance," and how these systems interact and affect CRH. It also discusses the resolution of issues pertinent to ventilation systems and CRH and proposes what is considered a good design for a CRH ventilation system.

Eight monitoring stations, ranging from urban-industrial to rural-background, were operated across three east-central U.S. states. Annual average PM sub(2.5) concentrations ranged from 12.6 to 21.3 micrograms per cubic meter ( mu g/m super(3)), with an overall mean of 15.7 mu g/m super(3). Likewise, annual average PM sub(10) concentrations ranged from 17.8 to 33.7 mu g/m super(3), with an overall mean of 23.7 mu g/m super(3). High summer-low winter seasonality was evident, particularly for PM sub(2.5), with the highest monthly PM sub(2.5) and PM sub(10) concentrations in August (26.4 and 37.5 mu g/m super(2), respectively) and the lowest in February (9.9 and 15.3 mu g/m super(3), respectively). A strong association (r super(2) = 0.84) was found between PM sub(2.5) and PM sub(10) mass with PM sub(2.5) mass contributing, on average, 67% of PM sub(10) mass. Applying TVA's PM sub(2.5)/PM sub(10) ratio to recent (1993-1995) regional high-volume PM sub(10) Aerometric Information Retrieval System (AIRS) data for the east-central United States suggests that as many as 80% of monitored counties would have equaled or exceeded the level of the new annual PM sub(2.5) metric of 15 mu g/m super(3). A decline in average PM sub(2.5) mass on the order of 3-5 mu g/m super(3) from 1982 through 1991 is also suggested. Daily PM sub(2.5) mass appears to be reasonably well associated (r = 0.47) with maximum hourly ozone during the warmer months (spring through fall). Sulfate compounds comprise a major portion of the measured PM sub(2.5) mass, with that fraction being highest in the summer months. Viewed collectively, these data suggest that although compliance with the annual and 24-hr PM sub(10) and 24-hr PM sub(2.5) metrics should prove readily attainable, the annual PM sub(2.5) metric will present a major regulatory management challenge for much of the east-central United States.

Air samples were taken in the plume of the Cumberland Power Plant, located in central Tennessee, during the afternoon of 16 July 1995 as part of the Southern Oxidants Study - Nashville Middle Tennessee Ozone Study. Twelve cross-wind air sampling traverses were made at six distance groups from 35 to 116 km from the source. During the sampling period the winds were from the west-northwest and the plume drifted towards the city of Nashville TN. Ten of the traverses were made upwind of the city, where the power plant plume was isolated, and two traverses downwind of the city when the plumes were possibly mixed. The results revealed that even six hours after the release, excess ozone production was limited to the edges of the plume. Only when the plume was sufficiently dispersed, but still upwind of Nashville, was excess ozone (up to 109 ppbv, 50-60 ppbv above background levels) produced in the center of the plume. The concentrations image of the plume and a Lagrangian particle model suggests that portions of the power plant plume mixed with the urban plume. The mixed urban power plant plume began to regenerate O sub(3) that peaked at 120 ppbv at a short distance (15-25 km) downwind of Nashville. Ozone productivity (the ratio of excess O sub(3) to NO sub(y) and NO sub(z)) in the isolated plume was significantly lower compared with that found in the city plume. The production of nitrate, a chain termination product, was significantly higher in the power plant plume compared to the mixed plume, indicating shorter chain length of the photochemical smog chain reaction mechanism.

These forests have been severely impacted by logging early in this century and by the depredations of an exotic insect, the balsam woolly adelgid (Adelges piceae Ratz.). This study quantifies the structure and dynamics of logged and old-growth stands in the spruce-fir ecosystem and concentrates on sites that have received little previous research attention. A set of 39 permanent plots established in late 1984 was resampled in late 1991. Logged sites differed from old-growth stands by having greater mean annual diameter growth increments, higher rates of tree recruitment from the understory, and spruce age distributions skewed toward younger age classes. Greater densities of deciduous taxa and lower abundances of spruce in logged stands relative to uncut stands demonstrate that recovery from logging is a continuing process. These differences in stand structure and dynamics suggest that it will probably be decades before forest communities in logged sites resemble those in old-growth areas. Logged and uncut spruce-fir forests may also respond differently to future disturbances. Spruce mortality rates were not unusual compared to earlier research, and fir mortality rates were lower than those in earlier research, suggesting that the initial wave of adelgid-caused fir mortality is virtually complete.

AN - 16350164; 7416 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of combustion turbines (CTs) at up to three existing fossil plants by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) at one or more sites in Alabama and/or Tennessee is proposed. The CTS would provide generation capacity during periods of peak electricity demand. The CTs would be of the simple cycle type and provide up to 1,530 megawatts (MW) of new capacity as early as June 2000. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The three TVA powerplant sites are considered in this final EIS: Colbert Fossil Plant in Colbert County, Alabama; Gallatin Fossil Plant in Sumner County, Tennessee; and Johnsonville Fossil Plant in Humphreys County, Tennessee. Each of the TVA plants have both coal-fired and natural gas- or oil-fired combustion turbines. Adding new capacity at one, two, or all three plant sites results in seven combinations for implementing the proposals. Capacity additions under consideration at the three plant sites would be limited by the regional electrical transmission system's infrastructure and the designs of the onsite 161-kilovolt (kV) switchyard at each plant. An additional 519 MW, 340 MW, and 680 MW of peaking capacity could be accommodated at Colbert, Gallatin, and Johnsonville, respectively, without incurring substantial changes to the transmission system in the region. As many as six, four, and eight additional combustion turbines of a design similar to that manufactured by General Electric in their EA technology series, each capable of delivering approximately 85 MW, could be installed. Two footprint areas are under consideration at Jonhsonville, one adjacent to the existing turbine plant and one to the south of the 500-kV switchyard. The footprints at Colbert and Gallatin are adjacent to the existing turbine plants. Other typical manufacturers, models, and capacities that could be used include General Electric Model 7FA and Westinghouse Models 501D5A or 501FA, which range from 80 MW to 170 MW nominal generation capacity. The units are capable of being fired with natural gas or low-sulfur number 2 distillate oil. Transmission lines would be constructed from the CT sites to the 171-kV switchyards at each plant. No natural gas pipeline construction would be needed for Gallatin or Johnsonville, but a pipeline would be necessary for use of the Colbert site. The existing water supply systems would be used at all three sites, but TVA would construct permanent water demineralizaton equipment of supply needs with trailer mounted equipment, depending on cost and reliability considerations. The TVA's preferred alternative would construct and operate the addition CTs at Gallatin and Johnsonville. Four units, each designed to deliver 85 MW, would be constructed and operated for a total capacity addition of 340 MW at each plant. The units would be capable of firing both natural gas and number 2 distillate oil to maximize fuel flexibility and lower operating costs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The addition of the CTs to TVA's system would substantially increase the agency's peaking capacity. The construction of the CTs at Gallatin and Johnsonville would employ 95 workers at each site, while the operation would add three and six employees, respectively, to the workforce. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Federal air quality standards were exceeded by the highest predicted concentrations at Colbert for particulate matter and sulfur dioxide and at Gallatin for sulfur dioxide. Hence, a more extensive analysis of adverse air pollutant impacts for these pollutants would be conducted as part of the prevention of significant deterioration permitting process. In any event, no significant threat would be posed to public health or welfare. The adverse ambient air quality impacts would generally be greatest for the Colbert site. The development at the Colbert site would also result in the greatest adverse noise impacts, an increase of 4 decibels on the A-weighted scale (dBA), while the increases at Gallatin and Johnsonville would be three dBA and two dBA, respectively.

The dam was intended to be the downstream component of the Duck River Project, but the presence in the river of three endangered species of freshwater mussels prevented the completion of the dam and reservoir. The construction work on the dam was suspended in 1983 when it became apparent that conservation programs developed for the mussels were unlikely to succeed. At that time, the dam was about 45 percent complete, and 46 percent of the land required for the reservoir (12,800 of 27,500 acres) had been acquired by the TVA. In 1995, the TVA determined that the reservoir would never be completed and began to examine alternative methods of managing the acquired lands. The area surrounding the site is developing rapidly, and allowing a high level of development on the lands could further jeopardize the endangered species and other resources. Five alternatives are considered in this final EIS. Alternative A would include the continuation of the current uses for informal recreation and licensed agricultural purposes. Alternative B would include the division of the lands into three categories, with approximately 2,300 acres set aside as protective river corridor and eventually making virtually all land (10,500 acres) available for sale or transfer for hunting and other informal recreational uses. Alternative C would include the implementation of Alternative B, though less land (8,600 acres) would be available for sale. Alternative D would include the transfer of most of the lands for resource management uses to protect natural and cultural resources and enhance recreational use of the area. Alternative D/C (the preferred alternative) would include the transfer of all lands to the State of Tennessee or some specific state or federal agency after granting certain specified easements. The receiving agency would manage most of the transferred lands to enhance the recreational use of the area and to protect natural and cultural resources, though up to 2,000 acres could be sold for residential development. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Any one of the action alternatives would resolve the existing uncertainty about the status and disposition of the Columbia Project lands. Any of the land use alternatives would provide some level of protection for aquatic resources, wetlands, unique terrestrial and cave communities, and federal- and state-listed endangered and threatened species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The increased development would decrease the productivity of land for forest, wildlife, recreation, and natural area management. The residential and commercial development could adversely affect water quality. The existing tax equivalency payments would decline.

AN - 36412982; 7346 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a coal receiving system at the Kingston Fossil Plant, located in eastern Tennessee, is proposed. Coal is currently being delivered to the city of Harriman by Norfolk Southern Railroad (NS) and CSX Railroad and then transferred to NS rail line for shipment to the plant. The fee imposed by NS for this two-line transfer substantially increases the fuel transportation costs incurred by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would retain the existing coal delivery system, were considered in the final EIS of January 1997. The two action alternatives (Alternative B and Alternative C) would involve the construction of a 4.5- to 4.75-mile-long rail spur that would largely bypass Harriman and allow coal deliveries directly to the plant. The two action alternatives would differ primarily in the details of routing. Alternative B would link the NS rail line coming into Harriman from the north directly to the plant via a new rail originating either from the CSX rail yard in Harriman or directly linked to the incoming NS line at Walnut Hill. The rail spur would cross the Emory River and go south to the plant. The rail line would cross Swan Pond embayment after passing under the TVA Kingston transmission lines, go around the Swan Pond Methodist Church and link up with the existing line after crossing Swan Pond Road. Alternative C (the preferred alternative) would differ only in that the route would not cross Swan Pond after passing under the transmission lines leading from the plant. This option would continue along the east side of Swan Pond embayment, cross Swan Pond Circle Road and the narrow embayment fronting the ash storage area and run parallel to Swan Pond Road. The estimated construction costs for the preferred alternative selected in the final EIS was $13 million to $17 million. This draft supplemental EIS considers a fourth alternative (Alternative D), which would utilize the existing rail with some minor upgrades and involve the construction of a high-speed coal unloading and loading system with stacking tubes in the coal yard. The stacking tubes, along with the coal-loading facilities for unit trains would give TVA the option to blend coal for use at the Kingston plant or other facilities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The operation of the new system would increase the competition among rail lines, reduce maintenance costs, and eliminate the switching fee, thereby reducing the cost of coal delivered to the plant and ultimately reducing the cost of electricity. The implementation of the new alternative would also improve regional safety and reduce traffic delays. If TVA decided to blend Western low sulfur coal, there would be an overall decrease in plant air pollutant emissions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some additional noise from unit train locomotives would be generated. Additional noise could be generated during night operations; this does not typically occur at present. A minor increase in locomotive emissions would also occur due to longer trip distances.
