| 01-15729 | Use of Lands Acquired for the Columbia Dam Component of the Duck River Project and Future Water Supply Needs in the Upper Duck River Basin | Notice | This notice is provided in accordance with the Council on Environmental Quality's regulations (40 CFR 1500 to 1508) and TVA's implementing procedures. TVA has decided to implement Alternative D/C (intermediate alternative) in its Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), Use Of Lands Acquired For The Columbia Dam Component Of The Duck River Project. In addition, TVA has decided to recommend to local utilities, government agencies, and other interested parties in the upper Duck River watershed that one or more of the action alternatives addressed in the TVA Final EIS, Future Water Supply Needs in the Upper Duck River Basin be pursued to meet the future water needs in that area. TVA is not proposing to implement any of these water supply alternatives itself. The Columbia Land Use Final EIS was made available to the public in April 1999. A Notice of Availability of the Final EIS was published in the Federal Register on April 16, 1999. TVA made a decision to implement Option 2 to stabilize the unfinished Columbia Dam structure on May 17, 1999. Under Alternative D/C, the agency preferred land use alternative, TVA seeks to balance public use and protection of project lands and to be responsive to public comments received during the EIS process. To implement Land Use Alternative D/C, TVA has decided to transfer all of the Columbia Project lands, 5200 hectares (12,800 acres) of land in Maury County, Tennessee, to the state of Tennessee subject to various easements and restrictions. Under the deed restrictions, most of the land is to be managed to enhance recreational use of the area and to protect natural and cultural resources. Up to 800 hectares (2000 acres) of land could be devoted to other recreational uses, including residential development if the State decides to do this. An additional 1550 hectares (3800 acres) would be preserved for the possible construction of a water supply and compatible recreation reservoir (Water Supply EIS Alternative B). This reservoir was identified as one way to meet the future water supply needs of the Maury/southern Williamson County Water Service Area. In the interim, these preserved tracts would be managed for wildlife and other recreation uses. The Columbia Water Supply Final EIS was made available to the public in February 2001. A Notice of Availability of the Final EIS was published in the Federal Register on March 2, 2001. TVA's preferred alternative is that one or more of the action alternatives should be pursued by local utilities, government agencies, and other interested parties in the upper Duck River watershed to meet the future water needs in the Maury/southern Williamson County Water Service Area. | 2001-06-22 | 2001 | 6 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/06/22/01-15729/use-of-lands-acquired-for-the-columbia-dam-component-of-the-duck-river-project-and-future-water | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2001-06-22/pdf/01-15729.pdf | Tennessee Valley Authority | 486 | This notice is provided in accordance with the Council on Environmental Quality's regulations (40 CFR 1500 to 1508) and TVA's implementing procedures.
