Requested Administrative Waiver of the Coastwise Trade Laws: Vessel TAIL LIGHTS (Motor Vessel); Invitation for Public Comments, 55208-55209 [2019-22357]

Download as PDF 55208 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 199 / Tuesday, October 15, 2019 / Notices khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES some areas along the eastern portion of the project area that were included in the original landfill boundary would no longer be needed to support development of the landfill. The revised landfill boundary encompasses a total of approximately 242 acres, compared to the original 174 acres, resulting in a net change of approximately 68 acres of additional disturbance. In August 2019, TVA completed a supplemental review providing an analysis of potential impacts associated with the proposed change in the future onsite CCR landfill boundary and the use of this onsite landfill as a repository for both existing and future CCR rather than using the Fly Ash Stack (as originally proposed) as the storage facility for existing CCR. TVA now amends the June 2018 ROD (Federal Register Vol. 83, No. 110) to incorporate the revised proposal. By this notice, TVA is providing notification of its decision and agency reasoning. Environmental Consequences In the Supplemental Analysis, TVA adopted the analysis in the 2018 Cumberland Fossil Plant Coal Combustion Residuals Management Operations Final EIS and provided supplemental analysis of the potential impacts with the proposed change in the future onsite CCR landfill boundary, in addition to using this new landfill as a repository for both existing and future CCR. The 2018 Final EIS identified that existing CCR would be placed in the Fly Ash Stack. The proposed changes to the landfill location would increase the project’s footprint by 68 acres. The proposed change would impact an additional 66 acres of low quality summer roosting and foraging habitat for threatened and endangered bats. An additional 2.0 acres of wetlands is within the revised project boundary. While additional water features were identified within the revised landfill boundary, the stormwater impoundment would be relocated and the leachate impoundment would be replaced by a tank system, therefore avoiding direct stream impacts. The remaining resources analyzed in the 2018 FEIS, including air quality, geology, groundwater, cultural and historic resources, public health and safety, parks and recreation, natural areas, visual resources, and socioeconomics and environmental justice, would see no additional impacts as a result of this increase. Impacts to additional environmental resources would be slightly higher than those discussed in the 2018 Final EIS as well. However, the impacts would be VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:25 Oct 11, 2019 Jkt 250001 minor and do not alter the overall impact findings and conclusions of the 2018 Final EIS. Amended Decision TVA has decided to amend the June 7, 2018 ROD to incorporate the proposed change in the future onsite CCR landfill boundary and the use of this onsite landfill as a repository for both existing and future CCR. The proposed action would result in additional impacts to resources than those reviewed in the 2018 Final EIS. However, the impacts would be minor and do not alter the overall impact finding and conclusions of the Final EIS. Mitigation Measures The June 7, 2018 ROD lists mitigation measures associated with the Cumberland Fossil Plant Coal Combustion Residuals Management Operations Final EIS to reduce adverse impacts associated with the proposed actions. These mitigation measures will remain in effect and are listed below. No new mitigation measures were identified during the supplemental analysis. • A TDEC Aquatic Resources Alteration Permit and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 permit will be required for disturbance to wetlands and stream features, and the terms and conditions of these permits would likely require mitigation for these proposed activities. TVA will adhere to all conditions stipulated in these permits. • TVA will implement groundwater mitigation measures that could include monitoring, assessment, or corrective action programs as mandated by state and federal requirements. The CCR Rule and state requirements provide an additional layer of groundwater protection to minimize risk. • TVA will coordinate with the Tennessee Department of Transportation and Stewart County transportation officials as needed to develop appropriate mitigation measures to reduce localized temporary transportation effects. • Potential impacts to Wells Creek and/or Scott Branch from landfill leachate and stormwater discharges will be mitigated as required to meet permit requirements. • Forested land within the proposed landfill project area is of low summer roosting quality for threatened and endangered bats, although it may be used as a foraging area. Section 7 consultation with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has been completed. No tree removal would occur between June 1 and July 31 to avoid any potential direct PO 00000 Frm 00075 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 impact to juvenile bats at a time when they are unable to fly. • TVA executed a memorandum of agreement with the Tennessee State Historic Preservation Officer to address the adverse effects of National Register of Historic Places listed site 40SW219.
