The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) initiated construction of the Yellow Creek Nuclear Plant on February 13, 1978, following the issuance of the NPDES permit by the Environmental Protection Agency. TVA developed a Construction Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and an Aquatic Construction Effects Monitoring Study Plan as required in Part III, Sections F and G, respectively, of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit No. MS0040568. The aquatic construction effects monitoring program consists of monitoring point source discharges identified in Part I of the NPDES permit which occur during the construction period as well as instream monitoring of benthic fauna and associated sediment substrates of Yellow Creek embayment. This report evaluates the data collected in association with the aquatic construction effects monitoring program covering a period from March 1979 through February 1980. Included in this report are data collected in relation to instream monitoring of onsite construction activities (September 1978 through March 1979).
