-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: RUS and TVA published a Notice of Intent to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement on alternatives for water supply
development for the Catoosa Utility District and the upper Cumberland
Plateau region of East Tennessee in the Federal Register on February 8,
1995. This original notice stated comments would be received on the
scope of the EIS on or before March 10, 1995. RUS and TVA are today
extending that comment period until June 5, 1995, and announcing the
location of a public scoping meeting.
DATES: Comments on the scope of the EIS must be received on or before
June 5, 1995. A public scoping meeting will be held on Tuesday, April

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an EIS
on alternatives for establishing a water supply for the Catoosa Utility
District and the Upper Cumberland Plateau area of East Tennessee was
published in the Federal Register on February 8, 1995. The NOI stated
that comments would be received until March 10, 1995. It was not
possible to hold a public meeting on the scope of the EIS during that
timeframe, and project schedules allows for a longer public scoping
period. Therefore, RUS and TVA are extending the EIS scoping period
until June 5, 1995, to allow sufficient time to hold the public meeting
and allow the interested public to comment on the suggested scope of
the EIS alternatives and important issues.
A public meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 4, 1995, at 6 p.m.
Central Standard Time at Glenn Martin Junior High School, 314 South
Miller Avenue, Crossville, Cumberland County, Tennessee. The purpose of
this meeting will be to gain information regarding the scope of the EIS
and the resources that may be affected by any proposed water supply
activities. Written Comments on these issues should be mailed to the
address noted above. Oral and additional written comments will be
received at the public meeting.
Dated: March 17, 1995.
Kathryn J. Jackson,
Senior Vice President, Resource Group, Tennessee Valley Authority.
