Treasury on any theme or design 

proposals for circulating coinage, 

bullion coinage, Congressional Gold 

Medals, and national and other medals 

produced by the United States Mint. 

• Advise the Secretary of the 

Treasury on the events, persons, or 

places to be commemorated by the 

issuance of commemorative coins in 

each of the five calendar years 

succeeding the year in which a 

commemorative coin designation is 

made. 

• Make recommendations on the 

mintage levels for any commemorative 

coin recommended. 

The total membership of the CCAC 

consists of eleven voting members 

appointed by the Secretary of the 

Treasury, as follows:

TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY 

Watts Bar Reservoir Land Management 

Plan, Loudon, Meigs, Rhea, and Roane 

Counties, TN 

AGENCY: Tennessee Valley Authority 

(TVA). 

ACTION: Issuance of Record of Decision. 

SUMMARY: This notice is provided in 

accordance with the Council on 

Environmental Quality’s regulations (40 

CFR parts 1500 to 1508) and TVA’s 

procedures for implementing the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA). TVA has updated its 1988 land 

management plan (1988 Plan) for 16,036 

acres of TVA public land on Watts Bar 

Reservoir in Tennessee. On November 

19, 2009, the TVA Board of Directors 

(TVA Board) decided to adopt the 

preferred alternative (Alternative B, 

Modified Development and Recreation) 

identified in the final environmental 

impact statement (FEIS) for the Watts 

Bar Reservoir Land Management Plan 

(WBRLMP). Under the alternative 

adopted by the Board, TVA-managed 

public land has been allocated into 

broad use categories or ‘‘zones,’’ 

including Project Operations (Zone 2), 

Sensitive Resource Management (Zone 

3), Natural Resource Conservation (Zone 

4), Industrial (Zone 5), Developed 

Recreation (Zone 6), and Shoreline 

Access (Zone 7). The allocations were 

made in a manner that implements 

TVA’s November 2006 Land Policy.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Watts Bar 

Reservoir is a 67-year-old multipurpose 

impoundment of the Tennessee River 

formed by Watts Bar Dam and Lock, 

which is located at Tennessee River 

Mile 530 in Meigs and Rhea counties, 

Tennessee. TVA currently has available 

about 16,036 acres of TVA-controlled 

public land for management on Watts 

Bar Reservoir. At full pool, the reservoir 

shoreline length is 721 miles, and the 

surface area is about 39,000 acres. 

Approximately 47 percent of this 

shoreline is subject to deeded or 

implied rights of access across TVA 

land for water use facilities, shoreline 

corridors, and other uses. 

In January 2009, TVA began 

developing a recovery plan for the 

December 2008 coal ash spill at 

Kingston Fossil Plant. Since the 

publication of the WBRLMP and FEIS in 

February 2009, nine parcels totaling 184 

acres have been identified as being 

affected by the spill and consequently 

have been removed from the alternatives 

considered by the FEIS. The land use 

allocation of these affected parcels will 

be considered after the recovery 

planning process now in progress is 

completed. 

TVA manages public land on Watts 

Bar Reservoir to protect and enhance 

natural resources, foster economic 

development, and improve the quality 

of life in the Tennessee Valley. The 

purpose of the land planning effort is to 

apply a systematic method of evaluating 

and identifying the most suitable use of 

public land under TVA stewardship. 

The TVA Board adopted Alternative B 

to provide for long-term stewardship 

and to fulfill TVA’s responsibilities 

under the TVA Act of 1933. The 

WBRLMP will guide future decisionmaking and management of these 

reservoir properties. 

Scoping 

TVA published a notice of intent 

(NOI) to prepare an environmental 

impact statement in the Federal 

Register on February 25, 2004. To 

provide for better identification of 

issues and alternatives to be considered 

in the WBRLMP, a revised NOI was 

published in the Federal Register on 

April 18, 2004, extending the scoping 

comment period to June 30, 2004. After 

further discussion of the issues, another 

notice was published in the Federal 

Register on August 16, 2004, 

announcing a public meeting on 

September 28, 2004, and extending the 

public comment period to October 8, 

2004. A total of 142 participants 

attended the public meeting in 

Harriman, Tennessee. TVA received 397 

specific comments from 214 individuals 

and from federal, state, and local 

government agencies. 

The majority of the public response to 

the NOI focused on the use of public 

lands for private residential and 

commercial development and the 

associated environmental impacts that 

could occur. Comments expressed 

concerns about the importance of water 

quality and terrestrial and aquatic 

ecology and questioned the need for 

development of public land given the 

success of similar projects on private 

land. TVA received comments that 

either supported or opposed land use 

allocations for specific land parcels, 

including the development of the former 

Clinch River Breeder Reactor (CRBR) 

site near Oak Ridge and the Lowe 

Branch site near Watts Bar Dam. TVA 

made an effort to identify parcels of 

land with sensitive resources that 

should be managed in a manner that 

ensures the protection of these 

resources. TVA used these comments to 

develop alternatives to be assessed in 

the 2005 draft EIS (DEIS). TVA assessed 

the impacts of the following 

alternatives: 2005 Alternative A (No 

Action) under which TVA would 

continue to use the 1988 Plan with 

minor updates; 2005 Alternative B 

(Balanced Development and Recreation) 

that provides a stronger emphasis on 

economic development and developed 

recreation; and 2005 Alternative C 

(Balanced Conservation and Recreation) 

that provides a stronger emphasis on 

natural resource conservation and 

informal recreation activities. 

The notice of availability (NOA) of the 

2005 WBRLMP and DEIS was published 

in the Federal Register on May 20, 

2005, with the comment period closing 

on July 6, 2005. Approximately 85 

people attended a public meeting on 

June 14, 2005, in Harriman, Tennessee, 

and TVA received 186 sets of comments 

from individuals, from federal, state, 

and local government agencies, and 

from interested organizations. 

Public comments on the 2005 

WBRLMP focused on opposition to 

using public lands for private 

residential and commercial 

development (2005 Alternative B) and 

the associated environmental impacts 

such as the loss of recreation 

opportunities and terrestrial habitat. 

Commenters provided input on the 

identified environmental issues: 

socioeconomic concerns, recreation, 

impacts to wildlife, and water quality 

on Watts Bar Reservoir. Commenters 

continued to question the economic 

need of further use of public lands for 

development. Those supporting 2005 

Alternative B cited improved 

socioeconomic impacts through future 

commercial and economic 

developments. 

Following the May 2005 release of the 

2005 WBRLMP and DEIS, TVA 

instituted a moratorium on land 

disposal activities in order to develop a 

TVA Land Policy governing retention, 

disposal, and planning of public lands 

managed by the agency. The Land 

Policy was approved by the TVA Board 

in November 2006. Subsequently, the 

directives in the Land Policy through 

development of the three alternatives of 

the 2007 WBRLMP and amended DEIS: 

2007 Alternative A (No Action), to 

continue to use the 1988 Plan with 

accrued updates; 2007 Alternative B 

(Modified Development and 

Recreation), to provide some suitable 

industrial use and developed recreation; 

and 2007 Alternative C (Modified 

Conservation and Recreation), to 

provide an emphasis on natural 

resource conservation and dispersed 

recreation activities. 

The NOA for the 2007 WBRLMP and 

amended DEIS was published in the 

Federal Register on August 10, 2007, 

with the comment period closing on 

September 23, 2007. On August 21, 

2007, 102 people attended a public 

meeting in Harriman, Tennessee, for the 

2007 WBRLMP. There were 152 

comments received from individuals; 

interested organizations; and federal, 

state, and local government agencies. 

There continued to be comments 

opposing using public lands for private 

residential or commercial development, 

but to a lesser extent compared to the 

responses provided on the 2005 

WBRLMP. The largest group of public 

comments on the 2007 amended DEIS 

focused on the types of use allocation 

for specific parcels of TVA-managed 

land, in particular the former CRBR site 

and Lowe Branch area. There were also 

many comments relating to the 

stewardship of public lands. Comments 

on the 2007 amended DEIS also 

addressed the identified environmental 

issues, such as water quality and 

wastewater discharges. 

TVA reviewed and prepared 

responses to all of these comments. In 

some cases the FEIS was changed 

because of the information or issues 

presented. After considering all 

comments, the FEIS was completed and 

distributed to commenting agencies and 

the public. In the FEIS, TVA selected 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 25 / Monday, February 8, 2010 / Notices 6259 

Alternative B as the preferred 

alternative. An NOA was published in 

the Federal Register on February 20, 

2009. 

Alternatives Considered 

TVA considered three alternatives for 

managing public land under its control 

around Watts Bar Reservoir. Under all 

alternatives, TVA would continue to 

conduct environmental reviews prior to 

the approval of any proposed 

development or activity on public land 

to address site-specific issues, and 

future activities and land uses would be 

guided by TVA Land Policy. TVA land 

use allocations are not intended to 

supersede deeded landrights or land 

ownership. 

No Action (Modified Alternative A): 

TVA would continue to use the existing 

1988 Plan. While the 19 allocation 

categories defined by the 1988 Plan 

would continue to be used, activities 

and land uses not provided for by the 

Land Policy would not occur. About 

5,900 acres of the TVA land on Watts 

Bar Reservoir (Project Operations and 

marginal strip) would continue to be 

administered by TVA but would remain 

unplanned. 

Modified Development and 

Recreation (Modified Alternative B): The 

proposed Modified Alternative B would 

continue to provide suitable economic 

and recreation opportunities as 

prescribed by the TVA Land Policy. 

Under this alternative, TVA would 

allocate public land and deeded rights 

into ‘‘zones,’’ including Project 

Operations, Sensitive Resource 

Management, Natural Resource 

Conservation, Industrial, Developed 

Recreation, and Shoreline Access. 

Under this alternative, TVA would 

allocate lands to help promote some 

potential industrial development and 

commercial recreation by designating 

about 12 percent of the TVA-managed 

land available for planning on Watts Bar 

Reservoir for Industrial use as Zone 5 

(357 acres) or Developed Recreation 

(1,549 acres) as Zone 6. In addition, 760 

acres of the former CRBR site would be 

allocated to Project Operations as Zone 

2. Approximately 7,525 acres (47 

percent) of the land would be allocated 

for Sensitive and Natural Resource 

Management as Zone 3 or 4, allocations 

that also allow many dispersed 

recreation uses. Under this alternative, 

natural resource conservation and 

dispersed recreation predominate on 

reservoir lands; however, industrial 

development and developed recreation 

would occur on TVA land where those 

activities are most suitable and have the 

greatest opportunity for success. This 

alternative includes minor 

administrative changes and alterations 

to the boundaries of land parcels or 

changes to their allocation zones that 

reflect new information about deeded 

rights or natural resources. 

Modified Conservation and 

Recreation (Modified Alternative C): 

Under Modified Alternative C, TVA 

would help promote conservation of 

natural resources and dispersed and 

commercial recreation by allocating 

about 8,766 acres of land for Sensitive 

Resource Management or Natural 

Resource Conservation and 1,350 acres 

for Developed Recreation (about 63 

percent of TVA-managed land on Watts 

Bar Reservoir). Only those lands with 

existing industrial facilities, about 80 

acres (less than 1 percent), would be 

allocated for Industrial use. This 

alternative would also include the 

minor administrative changes and 

alterations like Modified Alternative B. 

Under this alternative, natural resource 

conservation and dispersed recreation 

would predominate on TVA Watts Bar 

Reservoir land. Developed Recreation 

would occur on TVA land where those 

activities are most suitable and have the 

greatest opportunity for success. 

In the FEIS, TVA considered the 

environmental consequences of the 

alternatives on a wide variety of 

environmental resources. Under any 

alternative, sensitive resources such as 

endangered and threatened federally 

and state-listed species, cultural 

resources, and wetlands would be 

protected. 

Responses to Comments 

TVA received comments on the FEIS 

from the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA), the East Tennessee 

Development District (ETDD), and the 

Tennessee State Historic Preservation 

Officer (TNSHPO). The U.S. Forest 

Service acknowledged receipt of the 

FEIS but offered no comments. 

Although EPA found improvements 

in the FEIS, they continued to prefer 

Alternative C over the TVA preferred 

Alternative B. EPA believes that 

Alternative C is the environmentally 

preferred alternative, as its 

implementation would minimize the 

potential for impacts by limiting the 

amount of land allocation for industrial 

development. Regardless of the 

alternative selection, EPA recommended 

that TVA allow only industries and light 

commercial establishments requiring 

water access or supply to be located on 

the shorelands of Watts Bar Reservoir. 

EPA recommended that shoreline 

facilities should be monitored for water 

quality effects. EPA recommended that 

a 100-foot-buffer strip of natural 

vegetation and ground cover be retained 

between the shoreline and future 

developments. EPA also recommended 

that any public requests for residential 

shoreline development of TVA lands 

not be approved. Finally, EPA 

recommended that a Watts Bar 

Reservoir Watershed Management Plan 

should be developed by TVA and other 

prominent landowners or stakeholders 

in the watershed to protect reservoir 

water quality. 

In recognition of EPA’s comments, 

TVA will continue to emphasize water 

quality considerations in its land use 

and Section 26a decision-making 

processes for facilities on Watts Bar 

Reservoir. TVA believes that Alternative 

B best fits TVA’s mission, which 

includes resource stewardship and 

economic development. Although 

natural resource conservation and 

dispersed recreation would predominate 

on the reservoir, some industrial 

development and developed recreation 

would occur on TVA-managed land 

suitable for those activities. As 

described in TVA’s 2006 Land Policy, 

TVA will consider disposing of 

reservoir lands for industrial purposes 

or other businesses if the property is 

located in an existing industrial park or 

if the land is designated for such 

purposes in a reservoir land 

management plan. Preference will be 

given to businesses that require water 

access. TVA will consider leasing and 

granting easements over public lands for 

commercial recreation or public 

recreation purposes if the property is 

allocated for that use in a reservoir land 

management plan. Public lands 

managed by TVA will not be allocated 

or sold for residential or retail 

developments. Under TVA’s Shoreline 

Management Policy, shoreline 

management buffer zones of 50 feet are 

established on qualifying shoreline 

access approvals when TVA-managed 

shoreline is used for private water use 

facilities. 

In conjunction with EPA and 

Tennessee state agencies, TVA has 

developed and begun implementing a 

recovery plan that addresses 

remediation of the area affected by the 

ash spill at Kingston Fossil Plant. The 

appropriate future uses of impacted 

TVA-managed land and any operational 

recommendations will be considered 

after this recovery process is completed. 

EPA’s comment encouraging TVA to 

increase its stakeholder activities within 

the entire watershed community for the 

overall management of Watts Bar and 

other reservoirs is well taken. Water 

quality is a major consideration in the 

management of TVA reservoirs. In 

addition to its efforts to control 

pollutants via its shoreline and land use 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES

6260 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 25 / Monday, February 8, 2010 / Notices 

permitting, TVA routinely has 

watershed water quality initiatives 

underway across the Valley. 

Additionally, TVA often plays a major 

role as stakeholder in overall watershed 

management through its participation in 

numerous local and regional 

organizations focusing on watershed 

and water quality issues. TVA continues 

to monitor water quality in its reservoirs 

and streams and systematically uses 

these data to target its management 

efforts. 

In other agency comments, the 

TNSHPO concurred that applying the 

existing programmatic agreement for 

Tennessee reservoir land management 

plans would address the mitigation of 

any adverse effects resulting from 

implementation of the WBRLMP. 

Consequently, the TNSHPO had no 

objection to the implementation of the 

alternatives in the WBRLMP. TVA will 

prepare a program and maintenance 

plan for WBRLMP within two years of 

its adoption. ETDD found no conflicts 

with its plans and programs or those of 

other agencies. 

Decision 

On November 19, 2009, the TVA 

Board decided to adopt the WBRLMP as 

described in Alternative B, excluding 

the 184 acres impacted by the December 

2008 coal ash spill at Kingston, 

Tennessee. Additionally, changes in 

allocation to recognize existing deeded 

landrights would be subject to approval 

by the TVA Board or its designee, 

pending the completion of an 

appropriate environmental review. 

TVA believes that implementation of 

Alternative B not only responds to 

community development and 

recreational development needs on 

Watts Bar Reservoir, but also recognizes 

and preserves the aesthetic and 

sensitive resources that make the 

reservoir unique. Under Alternative B, 

TVA would set aside parcels containing 

sensitive resources and habitats in the 

Sensitive Resource Management and 

Natural Resource Conservation 

categories. For lands where TVA 

proposes to consider development 

proposals, TVA adopts commitments 

that would further minimize the 

potential for adverse impacts to the 

environment. These commitments are 

listed below. 

Environmentally Preferable Alternative 

The preferred alternative is Modified 

Alternative B, which provides suitable 

opportunities for economic 

development and the conservation of 

natural resources. However, the 

environmentally preferred alternative is 

Alternative C, which has the least 

potential adverse impact on the 

environment of all the alternatives. 

Environmental Commitments 

TVA is adopting the following 

measures to minimize environmental 

impacts: 

• All activities would be conducted 

in accordance with the stipulations 

defined in the programmatic agreement 

between TVA, the TNSHPO, and the 

Advisory Council on Historic 

Preservation. 

• The construction of water use 

facilities and shoreline alterations 

within the marked limits of the safety 

landings and harbors would be 

prohibited. 

• Requests for water use facilities on 

shoreline immediately upstream and 

downstream of the safety landings and 

harbors would continue to be reviewed 

to ensure that barge tows would have 

sufficient room to maneuver in and out 

of the safety landings and harbors 

without the risk of damaging private 

property. 

• Because caves are extremely fragile 

and biologically significant, TVA has 

placed and would continue to maintain 

protective buffer zones around the 

known caves on TVA public land on 

Watts Bar Reservoir. 

• As necessary and as practicable, 

visual buffers, between 50 feet and 100 

feet wide, would be provided to screen 

timber harvest areas and commercial 

development from public thoroughfares 

and shorelines. 

• Best management practices would 

be used on all soil-disturbing activities. 

• Landscaping activities on 

developed properties would not include 

the use of plants listed as Rank 1, 

‘‘Severe Threat,’’ Rank 2, ‘‘Significant 

Threat,’’ and Rank 3, ‘‘Lesser Threat,’’ on 

the Tennessee Exotic Pest Plant 

Council’s list of Invasive Exotic Pest 

Plants in Tennessee (see Appendix D, 

Table D–7 of the FEIS). 

• Revegetation and erosion-control 

work would utilize seed mixes 

comprised of native species or 

noninvasive nonnative species 

(Appendix D, Table D–8 of the FEIS). 

• If TVA were to develop facilities at 

any Zone 5 (Industrial) or Zone 2 

(Project Operations) site, the following 

measures would be employed to 

minimize the potential for effects on 

federally listed species: 

1. TVA will consult with U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in order 

to determine if the proposed action 

could affect listed mussels present in 

the area. 

2. Preconstruction mussel surveys 

would be conducted in all areas of the 

Clinch River (Watts Bar Reservoir) that 

would be affected by construction and 

use of any future terminal-associated 

infrastructure (e.g., barge terminal, 

water intakes, or water outfalls). 

3. Any listed mussels found during 

these surveys would be dealt with 

according to terms and conditions 

imposed as a result of the USFWS 

consultation process. These could 

consist of minimization or avoidance 

measures implemented during 

construction and operation or relocation 

of the mussels encountered if effects are 

unavoidable. 

With the implementation of the above 

environmental protection measures, 

TVA has determined that adverse 

environmental impacts of future 

development proposals on the reservoir 

would be substantially reduced. Before 

taking actions that could result in 

adverse environmental effects or 

allowing such actions to occur on 

properties it controls, TVA would 

perform an appropriate site-specific 

environmental review to determine 

necessary mitigative measures or 

precautions. These protective measures 

represent all of the practicable measures 

to avoid or minimize environmental 

harm associated with the alternative 

adopted by the TVA Board.
