What are TVA’s future plans for site recovery?
• This summer, we will reach some additional key milestones in the recovery effort. Dredging of the Emory River continues, and we will soon begin transporting the ash off-site to an approved Class 1 landfill. With the help of area residents, we will develop a Community Involvement Plan. This Plan will provide the framework for how TVA will involve the public in decisions relating to the cleanup of the ash release on land and in the Swan Pond embayment, and the eventual use of the land after the cleanup. The Roane County Long-Term Recovery Committee has played an important role in representing the community’s interests over the past five months. We thank them for working with us, and we look forward to even more progress in the coming months. We also will be providing reports to the Kingston community to keep you informed as our work proceeds.
