CONDENSER CIRCULATING WATER (CCW) INTAKE CHANNEL BANK STABILIZATION Enclosed are a Joint Application Form Department of the Army/TVA, a site map (Figure 1), a contour map of the CCW Intake Channel (Figure 2), photos of the bank erosion (Figures 3 and 4), CCW Intake Channel bank erosion remediation drawing (Figure 5), a shoreline rock riprap drawing (Figure 6), and a Snow Hill 7.5 minute quadrangle (Figure 7).: These enclosed maps and drawings are of the bank stabilization work to be performed at the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant in Hamilton County, Tennessee.

The bank stabilization consists of the removal of undercut trees along the south bank of the CCW intake channel (this area is located inside the skimmer wall of the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant. and not on the Tennessee River shoreline), with minimal reshaping and excavation to improve the bank slope. Cleared trees and brush will be chipped into mulch and placed in a spoils area onsite above the 500 year floodplain. Other debris such as dirt, sand, and rock will be spread onsite also above the 500 year floodplain. The bank will then be stabilized with approximately 12-24 inches of 6-12 inch rip-rap. Sand or crusher run may be used as fill material as necessary. The approximate linear length of the bank to be reshaped and stabilized is 450 feet, located inside the skimmer wall area at approximately Tennessee River mile (TRM) 484.7. Approximately 70 cubic yards flrintedi nn rnlvnlnrd nflfler printQd on recycled paper

of rip-rap will be placed below the normal summer water elevation of 682.5. The area in which rip-rap will be applied above the water level will vary as the ground slope varies along the shoreline. Appropriate Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be employed throughout the duration of this project and no significant adverse environmental impacts are anticipated. It is preferable that as much of the work as possible be performed before the Tennessee River reaches its normal summer water elevation; therefore, TVA requests expedited approval so that the work can proceed.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Ann Hurt at (423) 843-6714 or Stephanie Howard at (423) 843-6700 of Sequoyah's Environmental staff.

The Department of the Army (DA) permit program is authorized by Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (P.L.95-217). These laws require permits authorizing structures and work in or affecting navigable waters of the United States and the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States. Section 26a of the Tennessee Valley Authority Act, as amended, prohibits the construction, operation, or maintenance of any structure affecting navigation, flood control, or public lands or reservations across, along, or in the Tennessee River or any of its tributaries until plans for such construction, operation, and maintenance have been submitted to and approved by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).

Application submitted to "DA rITVA Date activity is proposed to commence: ,05/04/2009 activity is proposed to be completed: 0Date 08/28/2009 Describe in detail the proposed activity, its purpose and intended use (private,public, commercial, or other). Describe structures to be erected including those placed on fills, piles, or floating platforms. Also describe the type, composition, and quantity of materials to be discharged or placed in the water; the means of conveyance; and the source of discharge or fill material. Please attach additional sheets if needed.

'The repair consists of the removal of undercut trees along the south bank of the intake channel, with minimal reshaping and excavation to improve the bank slope. The bank will then be stabilized.with approximately 12-24

• Jinches of 6 - 12 inch rip-rap. Sand or crushed stone may be used as fill material as necessary. The approximate

,linear length of the bank to be reshaped and stabilized is 450 feet. Approximately 70 cubic yards of stone will be

!placed below the normal high water elevation. The area in which rip-rap will be applied above the water level will Wvary as the ground slope varies. Remove undercut trees along the bank of the CCW Intake Channel. Trees and other debris that may eventually release from the bank into the intake channel present possible plant operability issues. Also, the bank is to be reshaped in order to apply rip-rap to add stability and prevent further erosion.
