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.
SUMMARY:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Charles P. Nicholson, Principal Program
Manager, Tennessee Valley Authority,

Knoxville, Tennessee 37902–1499;

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.

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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
