TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY
Dam Safety Modifications at Cherokee,
Fort Loudoun, Tellico, and Watts Bar
Dams
Tennessee Valley Authority.
Amended Record of Decision.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Tennessee Valley
Authority (TVA) is amending its July 2,
2013, Record of Decision (ROD) for the
Final Environmental Impact Statement
for Dam Safety Modifications at
Cherokee, Fort Loudoun, Tellico, and
Watts Bar Dams. In the 2013 ROD, TVA
decided to implement the dam safety
modifications described in the preferred
Alternative B, Permanent Modifications
of Dam Structures: Combination of
Concrete Floodwalls and Earthen
Embankments. Based on the results of
subsequent engineering and feasibility
studies, TVA has revised its approach
for the permanent modifications to
incorporate the use of roller-compacted
concrete (RCC) at Cherokee and Fort
Loudoun Dams and increases in the
elevations of modifications at Fort
Loudoun, Tellico, and Watts Bar Dams.
In May, 2014, TVA completed a
Supplemental Analysis (SA) of the
potential impacts of the proposed
revisions to the dam safety
modifications. Based on the Final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
and the SA, TVA now amends the July
2013 ROD to incorporate the revised
approach.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 is an agency and
instrumentality of the United States,
established by an act of Congress in
1933, to foster the social and economic
welfare of the people of the Tennessee

Valley region and to promote the proper
use and conservation of the region’s
natural resources. A fundamental part of
this mission was the construction and
operation of an integrated system of
dams and reservoirs. As directed by the
TVA Act, TVA uses this system to
manage the water resources of the
Tennessee River for the purposes of
navigation, flood control, and power
production. Consistent with these
purposes, TVA operates the system to
provide a wide range of other benefits.
As the Federal agency responsible for
the operation of numerous dams, and
consistent with the Federal Guidelines
for Dam Safety issued by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency, TVA
prepares for the worst case flooding
event in order to protect against dam
failure, loss of life, major property
damage, and impacts to critical
facilities. This worst case flooding event
is known as the PMF, defined as the
flood that may be expected from the
most severe combination of critical
meteorological and hydrological
conditions that are reasonably possible
in a particular area. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) nuclear plant
operating regulations also require that
nuclear plants be protected against the
adverse effects of the PMF. TVA
periodically reviews and revises its
calculations of PMF elevations. During
the most recent review (completed in
2008), TVA determined that the updated
PMF elevations at Cherokee, Fort
Loudoun, Tellico, and Watts Bar Dams,
as well as at TVA’s Watts Bar and
Sequoyah Nuclear Plants, were higher
than previously calculated.
The differences in PMF elevations are
sufficient to indicate that a PMF event
could cause water to flow over the top
of the dams, even with the floodgates
wide open, possibly resulting in dam
failure. Failure of one or more of these
dams would result in extensive damage
to buildings, infrastructure, property,
and natural resources, as well as
potential personal injury and loss of life.
In 2009, TVA implemented temporary
measures at the four dams to remain
consistent with Federal guidelines and
to comply with nuclear operating
regulations for safe operations of the
river and reservoir system, and to
minimize the potential effects of the
PMF. These temporary measures
consisted of raising the heights of the
four dams by installing interconnected,
fabric lined HESCO Concertainer® units
filled with crushed stone on top of the
earthen embankments of each dam. In a
January 25, 2012 letter from NRC to
TVA, NRC stated that the HESCO
barriers were not capable of resisting
impacts from large debris during a flood
