TVA Looking For Public Comments…

The Tennessee Valley Authority is inviting the public to comment on an environmental review of the potential impacts of building and operating special processing facilities for the beneficial use of coal combustion residuals at one or more of its coal plant sites in Tennessee, Alabama, and Kentucky.

Coal combustion residuals, are the byproducts of burning coal for electricity, including coal ash and gypsum. These facilities would help process Coal combustion residuals for beneficial use in construction products like concrete and drywall. This would reduce the amount of CCR for long-term storage and management in landfills. TVA is increasing its efforts to use Coal combustion residuals instead of storing it in landfills.

TVA has prepared a draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment under the National Environmental Policy Act available at www.tva.com/nepa.

Comments may be submitted online, by mail to Brittany Kunkle, Tennessee Valley Authority, 400 West Summit Hill Drive, WT-11B-K, Knoxville, TN 37902 or via email to nepa@tva.gov.

Comments must be received or postmarked no later than May 14th, 2025.
