Combined Cycle Plant Water Source TVA is required by the TVA Act to provide power at the lowest feasible price for all consumers in the Tennessee Valley. This mandate influences every decision we make, including the decision to replace Allen Fossil Plant with a cleaner natural gas-fueled power plant. o This decision will reduce carbon emissions and help keep rates lower by providing more flexibility in delivering power to the region. The new Allen Natural Gas Plant will use water to produce steam that turns the turbine and to keep plant equipment from overheating. Treated water to produce the steam will be purchased from Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW), while five 1,250 gallons-per-minute on-site wells will provide water for cooling the natural gas plant. o Two wells will be used for normal operations and two wells will provide additional water during peak operation times. The fifth well will be a backup water supply. As a responsible steward of the environment, TVA commissioned the U.S. Geological Survey to study potential environmental impacts of the wells before proceeding with this option. The resulting study found on-site wells would not harm the aquifer. o Drilling wells for this $1 billion state-of-the-art natural gas plant is a least-cost decision that will have the greatest

  • I Am a Unit Operator at Paradise Fossil Plant in Drakesboro, Kentucky. I Started My Career with TVA in 2011 As a Student, and Became an Assistant Unit Operator (AUO)
    From: Board of Directors To: Pilakowski,Ashley Anne Cc: Campbell, Laura J; Tudor, AndrewJ; Hydas,James Hunter Subject: FW: ParadiseFossilPlant Date: Monday,December10,2018 4:56:39 PM From: Durbin, John Everett <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2018 7:38 PM To: Board of Directors <[email protected]> Subject: Paradise Fossil Plant Dear TVA Board of Directors, I am a Unit Operator at Paradise Fossil Plant in Drakesboro, Kentucky. I started my career with TVA in 2011 as a student, and became an assistant unit operator (AUO). I spent 6 years as an AUO at Paradise, and during that time, I achieved my operator accreditation. When the decision was made to shut down Paradise Units 1 & 2, my career path and thoughts of being able to retire from TVA someday were wiped away. I ended up being transferred from Paradise during the “surplus to fill” process that was initiated when the 2 units at Paradise ceased operation (April 2017). I was sent to Allen Fossil Plant, which was also slated to be shutdown, to be a control room operator there until the plant ceased to operate. I lived in a hotel away from my wife and children for 12 months as I operated the Allen Fossil Plant until it was taken offline for the last time. At that point, I was being transferred to Kingston Fossil Plant, but received an 11th hour reprieve when I was chosen to come back to Paradise as an operator, a position to which I had applied. I returned home in May of 2018, and was hoping to be home for good.

  • Coal Combustion Residual Impoundments Dam Assessment
    FINAL Coal Combustion Residue Impoundment Round 11 - Dam Assessment Report Allen Fossil Plant Tennessee Valley Authority Memphis, Tennessee Prepared for: United States Environmental Protection Agency Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery Prepared by: Dewberry Consultants LLC Fairfax, Virginia Under Contract Number: EP-09W001727 February 2013 FINAL INTRODUCTION, SUMMARY CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The release of over five million cubic yards of coal combustion residue from the Tennessee Valley Authority’s Kingston, Tennessee facility in December 2008, which flooded more than 300 acres of land and damaged homes and property, is a wake-up call for diligence on coal combustion residue disposal units. A first step toward this goal is to assess the stability and functionality of the ash impoundments and other units, then quickly take any needed corrective measures. This assessment of the stability and functionality of the Allen Fossil Plant coal combustion residue management units is based on a review of available documents and on the site assessment conducted by Dewberry personnel on September 19, 2011. We found the supporting technical documentation to be generally adequate, although there is some deficiency (Section 1.1.3). As detailed in Section 1.2.5, there are 5 minor recommendations based on field observations that may help to maintain a safe and trouble-free operation. In summary, the Allen Fossil Plant CCR management unit, East Ash Pond, is SATISFACTORY for continued safe and reliable operation. The rating reflects studies performed by TVA in 2012. Specifically, in a letter report dated October 11, 2012, TVA provided seismic stability results that showed the East Ash Pond dikes met minimum required safety factors.
