Tennessee Valley Authority, 1101 Market Street, BR4A, Chattanooga, Tennessee 37402 December 20, 2013 Mr. Robert Martineau, Commissioner Department of Environment and Conservation William R. Snodgrass Tennessee Tower 312 Rosa L. Parks Avenue, 12th Floor Nashville, Tennessee 37243

Dear Mr. Martineau:

TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY (TVA) -SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT (SQN) -NPDES PERMIT NO. TN0026450

-AGREED ORDER NO. 89-3036 On January 18, 1990, TVA and the Tennessee Department of Health and Environment-the precursor to your department-entered into Agreed Order No. 89-3036. That order required TVA to operate its Sequoya Nuclear Plant in compliance with NPDES permit TN0026450 and the Clean Water Act; pay the State of Tennessee a monetary amount of $2,091.97; and prepare and submit a plan that details proposed systems and procedures for protecting fish and aquatic life. Soon after the effective date of the order, TVA paid the monetary amount and it developed and implemented an operating procedure for providing a fish refuge in the plant's intake embayment.

In addition, the plant continues to operate in compliance with its NPDES permit and applicable provisions of the Clean Water Act.Hence, TVA respectfully requests that the Department of Environment and Conservation close Order No. 89-3036 and send us a written notification to that effect. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Brad Love by email at bmlove@tva.gov or by phone at (423) 843-6714 in Chattanooga.
