BILLING CODE 4710–05–P 

TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY 

Muscle Shoals Reservation 

Redevelopment, Colbert County, 

Alabama 

AGENCY: Tennessee Valley Authority 

(TVA). 

ACTION: Issuance of Record of Decision 

(ROD). 

SUMMARY: This notice is provided in 

accordance with the Council on 

Environmental Quality’s regulations (40 

CFR 1500 to 1508) and TVA’s 

procedures for implementing the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA). TVA has decided to adopt the 

preferred alternative in its final 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

for the redevelopment of the Muscle 

Shoals Reservation (MSR) in Colbert 

County, Alabama. The notice of 

availability (NOA) of the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement for the 

Muscle Shoals Reservation 

Redevelopment was published in the 

Federal Register on November 18, 2011. 

Under this alternative, Unrestricted 

Land Use, after declaring a large portion 

of the MSR surplus, TVA would dispose 

of the property without land use 

restrictions other than those designed to 

protect TVA’s program interests or to 

meet legal or environmental 

requirements. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Charles P. Nicholson, Principal Program 

Manager, Tennessee Valley Authority, 

400 West Summit Hill Drive, WT 11D, 

Knoxville, Tennessee 37902–1499; 

telephone (865) 632–3582 or email 

cpnicholson@tva.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: TVA 

manages public lands to protect the 

integrated operation of 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. TVA assumed 

custody and control of the 3,036-acre 

Muscle Shoals/Wilson Dam Reservation 

in Colbert County, Alabama, in 1933 

when Congress directed its transfer to 

TVA from the U.S. War Department. 

TVA has since managed 2,600 acres of 

this nonreservoir property as the MSR. 

Since acquisition of the land, TVA’s 

need for this amount of MSR property 

has changed. TVA’s programs have 

changed over time, and TVA has greatly 

reduced its operations and employment 

at Muscle Shoals. TVA has determined 

that a portion of its MSR is no longer 

essential to its needs. Local public and 

private sector developers have been 

requesting use of this land for many 

years. In accordance with its economic 

development mission, TVA believes sale 

and redevelopment of up to 1,400 acres 

of the MSR (the ‘‘MSR study area’’) 

would help stimulate the local and 

regional economy. The sale of this land 

would also help TVA reduce its 

operations and maintenance costs and 

help TVA reduce its environmental 

footprint. 

Public Involvement 

TVA published a notice of intent to 

prepare an EIS in the Federal Register 

on June 18, 2009. The NOA of the draft 

EIS was published in the Federal 

Register by the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (USEPA) on January 

14, 2011. TVA accepted comments on 

the draft EIS until February 28, 2011. 

Approximately 80 people attended a 

public meeting on February 3, 2011, in 

Muscle Shoals, Alabama. TVA received 

146 comment submissions from 133 

individuals and seven federal and state 

agencies. The majority of the 

commenters did not state a preferred 

future use of the land. Commenters 

expressed concerns about TVA’s 

purpose and need for the proposal; 

effects on environmental resources, 

including wildlife, woodlands, 

wetlands, aesthetics, and historic 

buildings and structures; health and 

safety; socioeconomics and 

environmental justice; specific future 

land uses; the role of the comprehensive 

master plan; and the adequacy of the 

environmental analysis. Agencies 

expressed concerns about effects on 

environmental resources, lack of details 

about future land uses, cumulative 

effects analysis, and public health and 

safety. 

After considering and responding to 

all substantive comments, clarifying 

action alternatives, and developing a 

new alternative, i.e., Alternative F, TVA 

issued the final EIS. The final EIS 

identifies Alternative F, Unrestricted 

Land Use, as TVA’s preferred 

alternative. The NOA of the final EIS 

was published in the Federal Register 

on November 18, 2011. 

TVA received comment letters on the 

final EIS from the USEPA and the 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). 

TVA has considered these comments, 

neither of which raised significant new
