Pickwick Reservoir Plan. Appendix 2: environmental quality controls

Technical Report ·

OSTI ID:5990227

Implementation of Environmental Quality Controls on Pickwick Reservoir involves the process of environmental assessment in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act. In addition, most resources are protected by Federal legislation and Executive orders. These directives detail procedures to be followed and in many cases set limits for impacts to resources in order to protect environmental quality. On TVA land around Pickwick Reservoir, development and management activities must be conducted within these procedures and performance standards. However, in the Pickwick planning process, the need to control sol erosion and visual impacts was identified as a major concern of the public. There is no legislation which addresses these issues, so Management/Development Guidelines specific to Pickwick to limit erosion, and visual impact were developed. These are described in this appendix. Also included are Agricultural and Forestry Best Management Practices. These are practical techniques to minimize pollution or impacts to other resources which will be adhered to on TVA land allocated for these purposes.
