TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY
Shawnee Fossil Plant New Coal
Combustion Residual Landfill
Tennessee Valley Authority.
Issuance of Record of Decision.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
This notice is provided in
accordance with the Council on
Environmental Quality’s regulations and
Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA)
procedures for implementing the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). TVA has decided to construct
and operate an onsite landfill at the
Shawnee Fossil Plant (SHF). A notice of
availability (NOA) of the Final EIS for
Shawnee Fossil Plant Coal Combustion
Residual (CCR) Management was
published in the Federal Register on
December 8, 2017. The Final EIS
identified TVA’s preferred alternative as
Alternative B—Construction of an
Onsite CCR Landfill, Closure-in-Place of
Ash Impoundment 2 with a reduced
footprint, and Closure-in-Place of the
former Special Waste Landfill. TVA’s
current decision pertains only to the
construction of a new onsite CCR
landfill, and would achieve part of the
project purpose and need by providing
additional long-term disposal for dry
CCR materials produced at SHF. TVA is
electing to further consider the
alternatives for closure of Ash
Impoundment 2 and the former Special
Waste Landfill (SWL) before making a
decision.
SUMMARY:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ashley Pilakowski, Project
Environmental Planning, NEPA
Specialist, Tennessee Valley Authority,
400 W. Summit Hill Drive, Knoxville,
TN 37902; telephone 865–632–2256, or
by email aapilakowski@tva.gov. The
Final EIS, this Record of Decision and
other project documents are available on
TVA’s website https://www.tva.gov/
nepa.
Currently,
SHF consumes an average of 2.7 million
cubic yards of coal per year and
generates approximately 8 billion
kilowatt-hours of electricity a year
(enough to supply 540,000 homes).
Until December 2017, SHF produced
approximately 183,000 cubic yards of
coal combustion residuals (CCR) a year.
In December 2017, newly installed
selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and
flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems
became operational on SHF Units 1 and
4, increasing the amount of CCR to an
estimated 490,000 cubic yards per year.
All CCR currently are managed in the
existing onsite landfill and Ash
Impoundment 2. The CCR generated by
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000
Frm 00093
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

the plant include fly ash, bottom ash
and dry scrubber product.
The existing onsite landfill, formerly
the Special Waste Landfill (SWL), had a
state landfill permit. However, it is now
considered a CCR Landfill under a
Registered Permit-by-Rule with the
Kentucky Division of Waste
Management effective September 21,
2017. The estimated remaining capacity
for the former SWL is approximately 5.2
million cubic yards. Due to current and
projected SHF operations, it is expected
the former SWL will reach capacity by
2027. To accommodate the need for
additional dry CCR storage at SHF, TVA
is proposing to design, build, and
operate a new CCR Landfill that would
accommodate up to 20 additional years
of storage capacity. SHF is expected to
produce approximately 490,000 to
910,000 cubic yards of CCR per year
until 2040. The low-end of this range is
based on the current plant
configuration, including the use of SCR
and FGD systems on SHF Units 1 and
4. The higher-end of this range provides
the maximum CCR output that could be
anticipated should TVA elect to explore
the option of installing similar emission
controls on the other SHF units in the
future. At present, TVA has no plans to
install such systems. Approximately 10
to 20 million cubic yards of disposal
capacity is desired for the 20-year SHF
comprehensive disposal plan.
The purpose of this action is to
support the need for additional capacity
for the long-term management of CCR at
SHF. Additional storage capacity would
also enable TVA to continue operations
at SHF as planned and would be
consistent with TVA’s voluntary
commitment to convert wet CCR
management systems to dry systems.
Alternatives Considered
In 2015, TVA performed a siting study
to evaluate onsite and offsite
alternatives for the construction of a
landfill for storage of dry CCR from
SHF. The siting study identified six
alternative sites (Options 1 through 6),
within 5 to 10 miles of the plant, for the
construction and operation of a new
CCR Landfill. The siting study also
considered the offsite transport of CCR
to one of three existing permitted thirdparty landfills as a potential alternative.
The impacts of development and/or use
of each of the landfill alternatives were
further evaluated against environmental
and engineering factors to determine
those sites that should be carried
forward for further analysis in the study.
Ultimately, one site for construction and
operation of a new CCR Landfill (Option
1) and one existing permitted thirdparty landfill (Freedom Waste Landfill)
