COAL COMBUSTION RESIDUALS COMPLIANCE ORDER

What is the TDEC Order and why was it put in place?On August 6, 2015, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) issued Commissioner’s Order No. OGC15-0177 to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) for Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) Compliance pursuant to the provisions of Tennessee’s solid waste management and disposal laws.

This order establishes a transparent, comprehensive process to investigate, assess, and remedy unacceptable risks resulting from the management and disposal of CCR at TVA coal-fired power plants within the state.

Did you know…In 2018, Allen’s three coal-fired units were retired and replaced with natural gas generators that will help ensure low-cost and reliable electricity for the greater Memphis area.

What is the EIP?What it is and why we do it TDEC has requested certain information about Allen’s CCR management.

What TVA has already done TVA has ongoing programs and monitoring that can help answer TDEC’s questions.

Proposed EIP Activities The Environmental Investigation Plan (EIP) lays out the proposed investigation TVA is conducting to provide additional information that TDEC has requested.

What are coal combustion residuals?

Coal combustion residuals, commonly known as coal ash, are created when power plants burn coal to produce electricity.

These residuals include fly ash and bottom ash/slag and are collected separately from different areas of the facility.

Fly ash originates from the flue gas electrostatic precipitators and bottom ash from the boilers.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT—POTENTIAL BACKFILL (BORROW) SOURCES

Potential Backfill Source Locations and Haul Routes

TVA will use clean soil to backfill the East Pond after the CCR has been removed.

TVA will implement the following measures to minimize impacts associated with the transport of backfill material (i.e., clean soil or borrow material) to Allen Fossil Plant and the offsite transport of CCR from the plant:

Measures to minimize fugitive dust and exhaust emissions

• Require all contractors to keep construction equipment properly maintained

• Require the use of Best Management Practices such as covered loads and watering unpaved haul roads

Measure to minimize noise impacts

• Minimize the use of backfill source locations that require access from lower volume roadways

Measures to minimize traffic impacts

• Develop a traffic management plan that considers

– Alternate access locations to/from Allen Fossil Plant (i.e., Plant Road vs. Riverport Road to the west)

– Staging and management of trucks entering/exiting

– Select backfill source locations that do not require use of local, low volume roads

– Potential alternate routing during train operations on Rivergate Road, and installation of temporary signals at key intersections

EXPLORATORY DRILLING (1 of 3)

Exploratory drilling helps us better understand what is in and under each CCR unit.

It tells us:

• What is there: material types (CCR, soil) and properties (strength, permeability, etc.)

• Where it is (material locations)

• Where the water level(s) are (material saturation)

The EIP includes an evaluation of existing geotechnical data. This includes a review of design and construction records, inspection records, field data (including 150+ borings and 70+ water level instruments), laboratory data, and engineering analyses.

Each piece of information has been evaluated to confirm that it was collected and analyzed properly in the past. This existing data are very valuable to understand the CCR unit conditions.

Quantity 3D Model

Groundwater Flow Model

CCR Material Characterization

Site Geotech InformationWhat TVA has already done

• Additional borings within the interior of the CCR units

• Install temporary wells in CCR material

• Targeted borings in specific areas along unit borders

• Laboratory testing

• Share data with hydrogeological, environmental, and civil/mapping discipline teams

EIP Activities

The field geologist/engineer will prepare boring logs to describe the recovered samples.

SLOPE STABILITY (1 of 3)

Example of existing slope stability analysis

Inputs: Surface and subsurface geometry/zones, engineering properties, water levels/pressures, external loads

Outputs: Factor of safety against sliding

• Compare existing models to new data from the Exploratory Drilling Sampling and Analysis Plan

– If models are representative, no changes

– If not, update models and reanalyze

• New analyses (for some units) for normal and earthquake conditions

• Compare slope stability results to acceptance criteria

EIP Activities

What it is and why we do itThese analyses tell us if the slopes of the CCR units are stable. Multiple locations around each CCR unit are checked for stability.

Normal (long-term) conditions and earthquake conditions are evaluated.

What TVA has already doneSlope stability has been analyzed many times over the years, for various conditions and at multiple units.

The existing analyses were reviewed as part of the evaluation of existing geotechnical data.

Each analysis was reviewed for adequate documentation, appropriate methods, and representative conditions.

Water level instrumentation• New instruments are added

– due to Exploratory Drilling Sampling and Analysis Plan

– due to Hydrogeological Investigation Sampling and Analysis Plan (monitoring wells)

What TVA has already doneTVA has multiple types of water level instruments on site, as well as a number of monitoring wells, to track water levels in many areas. These instruments have been installed over many years, for various purposes. About 70 water level instruments are currently installed.

SLOPE STABILITY (2 of 3)

What it is and why we do itSlope stability is influenced by water levels and pressures (among other factors).

Monitoring water levels also supports the hydrogeologic investigation and the CCR material quantity estimate (saturated vs. unsaturated material).

HYDROGEOLOGIC INVESTIGATION

What it is and why we do itHydrogeologic investigations help us better understand how groundwater moves in a particular area, as well as its interaction with the surrounding soils and rocks.

These investigations consist of installing groundwater monitoring wells to collect information about groundwater.

Background and downgradient wells are used to study water quality changes.

What TVA has already done• Existing network of 66 groundwater

monitoring wells

• Wells are screened at shallow, intermediate and deep intervals

• In 2019, installed 8 new groundwater monitoring wells near West Ash Disposal Area and 1 new background monitoring well

What is a groundwater monitoring well? A well specially designed and installed to obtain representative groundwater quality samples and hydrogeologic information.

BACKGROUND SOIL INVESTIGATION

What it is and why we do itThe constituents found in CCR are also found in nature. This investigation would detect CCR constituent levels in background soils.

These levels can be compared to other soils to determine if they are higher than natural levels and used to determine if CCR constituents are naturally occurring in native soils.

Remedial investigation objectives:

• Evaluate sources

• Delineate CCR constituents in groundwater, focusing on arsenic, fluoride, and lead

• Evaluate Alluvial aquifer

• Evaluate connections between aquifers

What is Remedial Investigation?A Remedial Investigation (RI) is a scientific study intended to:

1 Gather the data necessary to evaluate the nature and extent of environmental impacts at a property

2 Establish cleanup goals

3 Identify preliminary corrective actions

Remedial investigation work performed:

• 46 wells added during the RI (for a total of 66 wells)

• 7 groundwater events

• 315 samples analyzed

• Deep stratigraphic borings were drilled to characterize the upper Claiborne confining unit (clay)

• Pumping test by United States Geological Survey (USGS)

East Ash Disposal Area

Groundwater monitoring well

REMEDIAL INVESTIGATION

A RI is performed to collect data to characterize environmental conditions that may have been affected by site operations. The RI at the Allen Fossil Plant was performed following the detection of elevated arsenic in groundwater near the East Ash Disposal Area. The RI is being performed in coordination with the TDEC Division of Remediation, and concurrently with the TDEC Order, but is focused on the groundwater near the East Ash Disposal Area.

PLANT DECONSTRUCTION

The Allen Fossil Plant was constructed in the 1950s by the Memphis Light, Gas and Water Company (MLGW). TVA purchased the plant and property in 1984. Allen’s three coal-fired units were retired on March 31, 2018.

On October 4, 2019, TVA issued a Final Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for decontamination and deconstruction of its Allen Fossil Plant.

The EA evaluated the potential environmental effects of the future disposition of the physical structures associated with the retired coal-fired plant units, including the powerhouse, coal handling facilities, and surrounding support buildings.

The Former Allen Fossil Plant will be Deconstructed.

TVA’s preferred alternative is Full Demolition of the Allen Plant resulting in a usable property.

This is a key step in the process to make the Allen site available for future redevelopment.

Decommissioning is already underway and deconstruction will start in 2022.

ALLEN FOSSIL PLANT

DECONSTRUCTION OF FORMER ALLEN FOSSIL PLANT

A change is underway at TVA as energy efficiency has reduced demand and the company shifts away from coal and toward cleaner sources of generation such as nuclear, renewables, and natural gas.

Old facilities are being turned into new opportunities in the most environmentally sustainable way. D4 is how most everything is reused and/or recycled, and sites are returned to grassy fields.

Decommissioning Prepare Site

• Drain oils, fuels, and solvents

• Salvage usable equipment

• Remove residual ash & coal dust from boilers and plant structures, ducts, hoppers, & bunkers

Deactivation Remove Energy Sources

• Reroute power and services

• Makie the plant “cold, dark and dry” by de-energizing, isolating, and air-gapping equipment so that it is safe to decontaminate and demolish

Decontamination Remove Regulated Materials

• Universal waste disposal

• Asbestos abatement of all structures to be demolished

Remove Plant and Structures Demolition

• Carefully deconstruct buildings and structures

• Dispose, reuse, and recycle building components and materials

• Restore the disturbed area to provide conditions suitable for redevelopment

Groundwater is pumped from extraction wells.

Groundwater is mixed to achieve a homogeneous blend prior to treatment.

Water pH is adjusted to neutral and ferric chloride is added to bind with arsenic and facilitate particle settling.

Polymer is added to create larger particles from smaller particles of iron salts and arsenic.

Larger particles settle out, forming a sludge. Water goes to the Post-Clarification Tank.

Sludge thickens by settling over time.

Thickened sludge is pressed and dewatered to form a solid filter cake.

Prior to filtration, water pH is adjusted to meet discharge requirements.

Filters consisting of sand, gravel, or other media further remove small particles from the water.

Final filtering step prior to discharge.

Water is returned to the Equalization Tank.

Filter cake is disposed at an offsite landfill.

REMEDIAL INVESTIGATION—EVALUATE ALLUVIAL AQUIFER + CONNECTIONS

(Clay)

East Ash Disposal Area

Groundwater Flow and Lake Levels

DRAFT

Groundwater flow is predominantly horizontal (not ver�cal)

3. Install wellsand evaluate

Alluvial Aquifer

Evaluate Alluvial aquiferEvaluating the groundwater flow directions helps to understand and predict migration of CCR constituents.

• To evaluate groundwater flow directions near the East Ash Disposal Area, 22 shallow, intermediate, and deep wells were installed and monitored (46 total)

• The outcome was that groundwater flows horizontally and is affected by McKellar Lake

Evaluate connections between aquiferThe Memphis aquifer (sand) is a source for regional drinking water. This deep aquifer is located beneath the shallow Alluvial aquifer, but these aquifers are separated by a clay layer, the upper Claiborne confining unit. TVA, with help from United States Geological Survey, evaluated the connection between these two aquifers and concluded:

Site-Wide Groundwater Quality

Conceptual Cross Sec�on - geological forma�on thicknesses are approximate.

Shallow Impacts

• The upper Claiborne confining unit (clay), where present, is low-hydraulic conductivity clay up to 69 feet thick and lies between the Alluvial and Memphis (sand) aquifers

• The stratigraphy of the upper Claiborne confining unit (clay) is offset in the southeast corner of the East Ash Disposal Area. Further evaluation was conducted

• A hydraulic connection between the Alluvial aquifer and Memphis aquifer (sand) was observed under pumping conditions

Concentrations below USEPA drinking water standards
