Summary: EPA reiterated concerns

expressed on the previous Draft EIS that

the preferred alternative does not

sufficiently address the extent or

boundaries of Clean Water Act Section

404 jurisdiction (i.e., waters of the

United States). EPA also strongly

recommended that the Los Angeles

District re-evaluate how determinations

of compliance with the Section

404(b)(1) Guidelines are documented for

its proposed water resource

development projects.

Water Supply Alternatives Project, To

Provide an Adequate and Reliable Water

Supply, COE Section 404 Permit and

NPDES Permit, City of New Alban,

Union County, MS.

Summary: EPA continues to object to

the proposed action since it is likely

that the multipurpose reservoir would

result in lake eutrophication. EPA

objected to lack of resolution of several

essential elements to maintaining

reservoir water quality (e.g., basin

management plan, shoreline ownership,

identification of a local reservoir

manager). EPA also objected that

discharge flows from the dam were not

sufficiently assessed and not consistent

with EPA/FWS instream flow

guidelines, and that TVA has not

selected a federal preferred alternative

in the FEIS for the overall project.
