Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5558200
The purpose of this Environmental Assessment (EA) is to evaluate the environmental consequences of approving, denying, or adopting reasonable alternatives to a request for approval of a roundwood barge loading facility on TVA property at Yellow Creek Inland Port, Tishomingo County, Mississippi. The applicant is Scott Paper Company (SPC), a Mobile, Alabama, based company whose address is Bay Bridge Road, P.O. Box 1347, Mobile, Alabama 36652. SPC proposes to use the facility to load approximately 75,000 cords of locally acquired hardwood logs per year for shipment down the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway (TTW) to its mill in Mobile for processing into paper products. The 10.38-acre tract of TVA land requested by SPC is located on the left bank of the Yellow Creek embayment of Pickwick Reservoir along the TTW at mile 447.5, approximately 11.5 miles upstream of Pickwick Lock and Dam and 0.5 miles south of the Yellow Creek Inland Port. If this request is approved, TVA would sell a 10-year term easement for use of the land pursuant to Public Law 87-852 at fair market value as determined by TVA.
