the comment period, TVA held seven
public meetings to describe the project
and accept comments. TVA received
about 200 comments signed by more
than 2,400 individuals. After
considering and responding to all
substantive comments, further
evaluating the alternative strategies, and
developing the Target Power Supply
Mix, TVA issued the Final IRP and
SEIS. The NOA for the Final IRP and
SEIS was published in the Federal
Register on July 17, 2015.
Environmentally Preferred Alternative
All of the alternative strategies, as
well as the Target Power Supply Mix,
have several common features that affect
their anticipated environmental
impacts. The only new baseload
generation added is the extended power
uprate of three nuclear units, a
component of all alternative strategies.
All result in decreases in coal-fired
generation and increases in the reliance
on energy efficiency and renewable
resources. All also add varying amounts
of new natural gas-fueled generation to
meet peak loads. Emissions of air
pollutants and CO2, and generation of
coal waste would decrease significantly
under all alternative strategies,
including the Target Power Supply Mix.
Water-related impacts would also
decrease, although by smaller
proportions. The major differences in
the alternative strategies that affect their
environmental impacts are in the
expansion of energy efficiency and
natural gas and renewable resources.
Strategies A–C and the Target Power
Supply Mix have similar environmental
impacts and their impacts to most
environmental resources are greater
than those of Strategies D and E.
Because of its greater reliance on
generation by fossil fuels, Strategy D has
somewhat greater impacts to most
environmental resources than Strategy
E. Strategy E has the greatest reliance on
renewable energy resources, which,
particularly for utility-scale solar
generation, have large land
requirements. Strategy E would
therefore directly affect the largest land
area, almost twice that of the other
alternative strategies and the Target
Power Supply Mix. Relative to other
types of generation, impacts of solar
facilities on land resources are low.
Overall, Strategy E is considered the
environmentally preferred alternative.
Decision
On August 21, 2015, the TVA Board
of Directors approved the preferred
alternative, the Target Power Supply
Mix. The Board also directed staff to
monitor future developments to help

determine when deviations from the
recommended resource ranges should
be made and to initiate an update to the
IRP no later than 2020 and earlier if
future developments make this
appropriate.
Mitigation Measures
The reduction of environmental
impacts was an important goal in TVA’s
integrated resource planning process
and all of the alternatives assessed by
TVA do that. Because this is a
programmatic review, measures to
reduce potential environmental impacts
on a site-specific level were not
identified. As TVA deploys specific
energy resources, it will review and take
measures to reduce their potential
environmental impacts as appropriate.
TVA’s siting process for generation and
transmission facilities, as well as
processes for modifying these facilities,
are designed to avoid and/or minimize
potential adverse environmental
impacts. Potential impacts will also be
reduced through pollution prevention
measures and environmental controls
such as air pollution control systems,
wastewater treatment systems, and
thermal generating plant cooling
systems. Other potentially adverse
unavoidable impacts will be mitigated
by measures such as compensatory
wetlands mitigation, payments to in-lieu
stream mitigation programs and related
conservation initiatives, enhanced
management of other properties,
documentation and recovery of cultural
resources, and infrastructure
improvement assistance to local
communities.
