Should any construction or modification be anticipated or planned, TVA would follow all appropriate permitting requirements and environmental reviews would be pursued prior to deciding to pursue those projects. Best Management Practices would be implemented including those described in A Guide for Environmental Protection and Best Management Practices for Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA 2017b), stormwater pollution and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) plan, and other permit conditions • BFN also has an Integrated Pollution Prevention Plan that addresses storage, secondary containment, and inspections of fuel, hazardous materials, and chemicals like biocides. Attachment 5 of the plan provides an inventory of all tanks, pumps, transformers, and other containers where these materials are used or stored, including the type of secondary containment for each. The secondary containment limits the potential for minor chemical spills to occur outside of containment areas. • The discharge of chemicals to surface water would be regulated by the conditions set forth in the NPDES permit. • Dredged material would be disposed of on land lying and being outside the 500-year floodplain in an onsite spoils area and above the 500year flood elevation. • Water-use and water-dependent structures and facilities would be located within 100-year floodplains, and flood-damageable equipment and facilities would be located at a minimum outside 100-year floodplains, and Critical Actions would be located at a minimum outside 500-year floodplains. • All handling and disposal of nonradioactive and radioactive wastes would be in accordance with applicable rules, regulations and requirements of local, state, and federal laws. Timothy Rausch, Executive Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer, Tennessee Valley Authority.
