TVA Kingston Update: Waste Management Progress and Regulatory Changes (August 2010)

In June 2010, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) imposed an $11.5MM multi-year penalty on TVA for waste releases. By July 1, 2010, over 3.5 million cubic yards of ash had been dredged and excavated. The Emory River reopened to the public on May 29, 2010, as efforts continued for the design and implementation of closure processes for remaining ash and infrastructure. The year also saw regulatory changes, including fee adjustments and new design criteria for waste management. For more information, contact TDEC officials.

  6. Regulatory Changes Not surprisingly, with the economy being down significantly, Tipping fees and State appropriation dollars were down as well. The main thrust of this year’s rulemaking effort revolved around adjustments to fees (the first major adjustment to Tennessee’s fee schedule since Subtitle D was adopted).

  7. Regulatory Changes (Continued) The Fee schedule was adjusted for: • Annual Maintenance Fee • Special Waste Evaluation • Special Waste Recertification

  8. New Policies • Transportation Related Spills • New Design and Operating Criteria for facilities managing Secondary Aluminum Smelter Dross

  9. On The Horizon • Permanent Records Retention • Changes in Financial Assurance Requirements • Permit Renewal Process (w/fees) • Increasing vegetative cover thickness • Additional erosion control requirements • Compost regulation revisions
