67036 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 217 / Wednesday, November 8, 2000 / Notices

include use of a sensitive resource

protection zone and retention of a

public shoreline strip between the 888

and 895 foot contours. New proposals

for access would be allowed using

community docks rather than through

individual docks, thus minimizing the

area of shoreline that will be disturbed.

For certain categories of access

proposals, TVA would obtain additional

shoreline buffers above the 895-foot

contour. In addition, TVA is adopting

the following measures to minimize

environmental impacts:

• New residential development will

be required to have groundwater

protection plans submitted by the

developer for approval prior to

development.

• Throughout the construction phase

of new subdivisions, periodic site

checks will be conducted to ensure that

BMPs are used to minimize erosion

problems.

• Shoreline fringe wetlands will be

avoided during any future development

or permitting activities.

• Parcels containing uncommon

terrestrial habitats or plants will be

protected by avoidance during any

future developmental activities. Sale

deeds related to disposition will include

conditions that require avoidance of the

resource on the parcel.

• Livestock grazing on TVA property

will be phased out as alternative water

sources and pasture are obtained.

• The measures relating to

identification, evaluation, and treatment

of historic properties contained in the

Memorandum of Agreement between

TVA, Tennessee State Historic

Preservation Officer, Tennessee

Department of Environment and

Conservation, and the Eastern Band of

Cherokee Indians, dated September 21,

2000, will be followed.

With the implementation of the above

environmental protection measures,

TVA has determined that adverse

environmental impacts of future

residential shoreline uses would be

substantially reduced. These protective

measures represent all of the practicable

measures to avoid or minimize

environmental harm that are associated

with this alternative.

As TVA and TDEC implement the

Tims Ford Land Management and

Disposition Plan, the agencies will

continue to work with all affected

interests to promote environmentally

sound stewardship of public lands.
