average of 3,880,165 tons of coal per 

year, generates approximately 8 billion 

kilowatt-hours of electricity a year 

(enough to supply 540,000 homes), and 

produces approximately 256,000 tons of 

CCR a year which are managed in an 

existing special waste landfill and a 

pond (Ash Pond 2). 

In July 2009, the TVA Board of 

Directors passed a resolution for staff to 

review TVA practices for storing CCRs 

at its generating facilities, including 

SHF, which resulted in a 

recommendation to convert the wet ash 

management system at SHF to a dry 

storage system. On April 17, 2015, the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) published the final Disposal of 

CCRs from Electric Utilities rule. 

In June of 2016, TVA issued a Final 

Programmatic Environmental Impact 

Statement (PEIS) that analyzed methods 

for closing impoundments that hold 

CCR materials at TVA fossil plants and 

identified specific screening and 

evaluation factors to help frame its 

evaluation of closures at additional 

facilities. A Record of Decision was 

released in July of 2016 that would 

allow future environmental reviews of 

CCR impoundment closures to tier from 

the PEIS. 

This EIS is intended to tier from the 

2016 PEIS to evaluate the closure 

alternatives for the existing CCR Ash 

Pond 2 impoundment and additionally 

analyze the impacts of the closure of the 

existing special waste landfill, and 

construction, operation, and 

maintenance of a new on-site special 

waste landfill to accommodate future 

dry CCR disposal actions. This project 

supports TVA’s goal to eliminate all wet 

CCR storage at SHF. 

Alternatives 

In addition to a No Action 

Alternative, this EIS will address 

alternatives that have reasonable 

prospects of providing a solution to the 

management and disposal of dry CCRs 

generated at SHF. TVA has determined 

that either the construction of a new 

CCR storage area or hauling CCR to an 

existing permitted landfill are the most 

reasonable alternatives to address the 

need for additional dry CCR disposal. 

TVA will consider closure alternatives 

for Ash Pond 2 in accordance with and 

consistent with TVA’s PEIS and EPA’s 

CCR Rule. TVA will also consider 

closure alternatives for the existing 

special waste landfill in accordance 

with EPA’s CCR Rule. 

No decision has been made about CCR 

management at SHF beyond the current 

operations and available onsite capacity. 

TVA is preparing this EIS to inform 

decision makers, other agencies and the 

public about the potential for 

environmental impacts associated with 

the decision on how to manage CCR 

generated at SHF. 

Proposed Issues To Be Considered 

This EIS will contain descriptions of 

the existing environmental and 

socioeconomic resources within the area 

that could be affected by the closure of 

the special waste landfill and Ash Pond 

2 and by the construction, operation and 

maintenance of a new dry CCR landfill 

or disposal of CCR at an offsite landfill. 

Evaluation of potential environmental 

impacts to these resources will include, 

but not be limited to, the potential 

impacts on water quality, aquatic and 

terrestrial ecology, threatened and 

endangered species, wetlands, land use, 

historic and archaeological resources, 

solid and hazardous waste, safety, 

socioeconomic resources and 

environmental justice. The need and 

purpose of the project will be described. 

The range of issues to be addressed in 

the environmental review will be 

determined, in part, from scoping 

comments. The preliminary 

identification of reasonable alternatives 

and environmental issues in this notice 

is not meant to be exhaustive or final. 

Public and Agency Participation 

TVA is interested in an open process 

and wants to hear from the community, 

interested agencies and special interest 

groups about the scope of issues they 

would like to see addressed in this EIS. 

The public is invited to submit 

comments on the scope of this EIS no 

later than the date identified in the 

‘‘Dates’’ section of this notice. Federal, 

state and local agencies such as the U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, Kentucky Department 

of Environmental Protection, and the 

Kentucky State Historic Preservation 

Officer also are invited to provide 

comments. After consideration of 

scoping comments, TVA will post a 

summary of them and identify the 

issues and alternatives to be addressed 

in the EIS and the study’s schedule. 

The Draft EIS will be made available 

for public comment. In making its final 

decision, TVA will consider the 

analyses in this EIS and substantive 

comments that it receives. A final 

decision on proceeding with pond 

closure, existing landfill closure, and 

construction, operation, and 

maintenance of a new landfill will 

depend on a number of factors. These 

include requirements of the CCR Rule, 

the results of the EIS, engineering and 

risk evaluations, and financial 

considerations. 

TVA anticipates holding a community 

meeting near the plant after releasing 

the Draft EIS. Meeting details will be 

posted on TVA’s Web site. TVA expects 

to release the Draft EIS in summer of 

2017.
