New proposalsfor access would be allowed usingcommunity docks rather than throughindividual docks, thus minimizing thearea of shoreline that will be disturbed.For certain categories of accessproposals, TVA would obtain additionalshoreline buffers above the 895-footcontour. In addition, TVA is adoptingthe following measures to minimizeenvironmental impacts:• New residential development willbe required to have groundwaterprotection plans submitted by thedeveloper for approval prior todevelopment.• Throughout the construction phaseof new subdivisions, periodic sitechecks will be conducted to ensure thatBMPs are used to minimize erosionproblems.• Shoreline fringe wetlands will beavoided during any future developmentor permitting activities.• Parcels containing uncommonterrestrial habitats or plants will beprotected by avoidance during anyfuture developmental activities. Saledeeds related to disposition will includeconditions that require avoidance of theresource on the parcel.• Livestock grazing on TVA propertywill be phased out as alternative watersources and pasture are obtained.• The measures relating toidentification, evaluation, and treatmentof historic properties contained in theMemorandum of Agreement betweenTVA, Tennessee State HistoricPreservation Officer, TennesseeDepartment of Environment andConservation, and the Eastern Band ofCherokee Indians, dated September 21,2000, will be followed.With the implementation of the aboveenvironmental protection measures,TVA has determined that adverseenvironmental impacts of futureresidential shoreline uses would besubstantially reduced. These protectivemeasures represent all of the practicablemeasures to avoid or minimizeenvironmental harm that are associatedwith this alternative.As TVA and TDEC implement theTims Ford Land Management andDisposition Plan, the agencies willcontinue to work with all affectedinterests to promote environmentallysound stewardship of public lands.Dated: October 26, 2000.Kathryn J.
