Dear Mr. Slack:

As you know, TVA cas requestaa permission to delete continued tonitoring of the cacroinvertelrate coccunity from their construe:1on effects aoaitoring procraa at the Phipps 3end facility. "onitoring reports suLaltted in June, im and January,197'J :uve snown no detectable impact on tne cacrMnvertelrate cor.cuni ty of the Holston :iiver. Consequently, we nave sent TVA tae attacned letter of approval.

Your letter of June 27,1979, expressas some reservation about deleting racroinvertalrate conitoring from the assess:ent progran. ncwever, tne portion of the program being discontinued deals only with the construction _

pnase of the project. The Phipps Gend discharge perr.it contains specific requirments for it.:plementation of an aquatic.mnitoring progra".i in order to reestablish baseline data on water quality and biotic conaitions in the

91stdn River during the operational chase of the facility.

Sincerely yours, Jonn R.
