Did EPA meet their goal to assess all units with a high or significant hazard potential rating by the end of 2009?
Yes. EPA has assessed all known units that had a dam hazard potential rating of high or significant as indicated in the responses provided by electric utilities to EPA s information request, in addition to any new units discovered during the field assessments. EPA is posting the draft reports, state/company/EPA comments, and final reports on those assessments as they are completed. Since electric utilities have provided EPA with responses to EPA s information request, TVA has re-rated five of its units as High Hazard Potential and 13 of its units as Significant Hazard Potential. TVA is assessing the re-rated units. EPA will evaluate the assessments when they are finished and determine the appropriate next steps.
