2 l P a g e This study has been prepared as a supporting document for the Clinch River Small Modular Reactor Site (CR SMR) Construction Permit Application Project and is being distributed for project use. The study provides a summary of documented wetland habitats present in CR SMR study area including the adjacent Clinch River, Roane County, TN.

3 l P a g e Initial wetland screening for the Clinch River Small Modular Reactor Site (CR SMR) involved a review of National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps and soil survey maps. Subsequent field surveys to were completed to determine habitat types and map wetland boundaries on January 20-21 and 24, 2011, April 21, 22, and 28, 2011; and May 18, 2011. The central portion of the site includes the former Clinch River Breeder Reactor construction site, which was halted in the 1970s after extensive grading and site preparation. The remainder of the site includes several hundred acres of natural habitat. Twelve wetlands were field delineated during the site visits (Figure 1). Wetland boundaries were mapped with a Trimble ProXH global positioning system and ESRI ArcGIS 10 mapping software. Wetlands are protected under Sections 404 and 401 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and by Executive Order (E.O.) 11990, Wetlands Protection. In order to conduct specific activities in wetlands, authorization under a Section 404 Permit from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) may be required depending on the wetlands size and hydrologic connectivity to a navigable waterway. Section 401 gives states the authority to certify whether activities permitted under Section 404 are in accordance with state water quality standards. In Tennessee, the Department of Environment and Conservation Division of Water Pollution Control is responsible for issuing Section 401 water quality certification through the Aquatic Resource Alteration Permit. E.O. 11990 requires all federal agencies to minimize the destruction, loss or degradation of wetlands, and to preserve and enhance the natural and beneficial values of wetlands in carrying out the agencys responsibilities. Wetland determinations were performed according to US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) standards (Environmental Laboratory, 1987; USACE, 2010), which require documentation of hydrophytic vegetation (USFWS, 1996), hydric soil, and wetland hydrology. Jurisdictional determinations were conducted by USACE staff during a site visit on September 23, 2013. Broader definitions of wetlands, such as the definition provided in Executive Order 11990 (Protection of Wetlands), the US Fish and Wildlife Service definition (Cowardin et al., 1979), and the TVA Environmental Review Procedures definition, were also considered in this review. The USACE Routine Wetland Determination forms are attached (Appendix A). The TVA Rapid Assessment Method (TVARAM) was used to assess wetland condition and identify wetlands with potential ecological significance (Mack 2001). TVA RAM scores utilize six metrics to assess wetland condition: wetland area/size; upland buffers and surrounding land use; hydrology; habitat alteration and development; special wetlands; plant communities, interspersion, microtopography. These six metrics correspond to wetland indicator functions that can be used to differentiate wetlands on the basis of condition (Table 1). Figure 1Figure 1

6 l P a g e Using TVARAM, wetlands may be classified into 3 categories. Category 1 wetlands are described as limited quality waters. They are considered to be a resource that has been degraded, has limited potential for restoration, or is of such low functionality, that lower standards for avoidance, minimization, and mitigation can be applied. Category 2 includes wetlands of moderate quality and also wetlands that are degraded but exhibit reasonable potential for restoration. Category 3 generally includes wetlands of very high quality and wetlands of concern regionally and/or statewide, such as wetlands that provide habitat for species listed as threatened or endangered. TVARAM scores and categories are reported in Table 2, and TVA RAM forms included in Appendix B. Table 2: Wetlands on the Clinch River SMR Site.

Wetland 9 (W009) is a large, diverse wetland complex associated with an unnamed, perennial tributary to the Clinch River near the eastern boundary of the site. Wetland hydrology has been affected by a beaver dam that marks the southern end of the wetland and an active groundwater influence including numerous seeps and springs in the northern end. The wetland

9 l P a g e includes a diverse assemblage of habitats including a semi-permanently flooded scrub-shrub community in the southern end that grades into a seasonally flooded forested in the south-central area, then a saturated forested wetland in the north-central area, and at the northern end a saturated emergent and scrub-shrub community in a 500-kV TVA transmission line ROW that is periodically mowed.

Wetland 10 (W010) is a small wetland complex associated with the same unnamed, perennial tributary to the Clinch River that is associated with W009. W010 further upstream (north) of W009 is separated from W009 by a patrol road and culvert. The southern end of the wetland is a mix of emergent and scrub-shrub habitat in a 500-kv TVA transmission line ROW; the northern part is forested wetland habitat. Hydrology is influenced by the stream and numerous groundwater seeps. The site appears to have undergone extensive disturbance in the past, most likely prior to acquisition by DOE and TVA.

Wetland 12 (W012) is a small emergent wetland in the central portion of the Clinch River Site near the former reactor site. The wetland covers 0.13 acre and exhibits indicators of wetland hydrology and connectivity. The wetland has formed in a wet weather drainage in a previously graded area. Field indicators of hydric soils are lacking, possibly due to extensive site disturbance during the 1970s during site preparation for the Clinch River Breeder Reactor project. Dominant wetland vegetation includes black willow (Salix nigra), tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea), and an unidentified rush (Juncus sp.). The TVA RAM score for this wetland was 20, putting it into Category 1, a wetland of limited quality.

10 l P a g e Impacts to wetlands will be determined based on site-specific project plans, taking into account site topography and SMR siting constraints. Mitigation for wetland impacts will be aligned with 2008 EPA/USACE guidelines (EPA & USACE 2008). First preference is mitigation via purchase of credits in an approved mitigation bank. If no mitigation banks are available mitigation may be accomplished via payment into an approved in-lieu fee program. Additional options for mitigation include on-site wetland restoration, wetland creation, or enhancement/preservation, or off-site wetland restoration/creation/enhancement/preservation.
