Tennessee Valley Authority.
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) intends to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to address the potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed modification of the Chatuge Dam Spillway, low-level outlet (LLO), and the dam embankment. Based on evaluations conducted between 2016 and 2022, TVA determined that the risk of uncontrolled releases due to spillway failure exceeds TVA's risk tolerance for dam safety.
The public scoping period begins with the publication of this Notice of Intent in the Federal Register . To ensure consideration, comments must be postmarked, submitted online, or emailed no later than May 28, 2025. To facilitate the scoping process, TVA will be holding in-person meetings in Clay County, North Carolina and Towns County, Georgia. Additionally, TVA will hold two virtual public meetings. The meeting locations, dates, and times will be posted on https://www.TVA.com/nepa.
Written comments should be sent to Erica McLamb, NEPA Compliance Specialist, 1101 Market Street LPE5S, Chattanooga, Tennessee 37402. Comments may also be submitted online at https://www.tva.com/nepa or by email at [email protected].
