Dear KOS,
Below is the list of community meetings that the TVA is conducting to hear
comments about the draft EIS on the Reservoir Operations Study. The draft
outlines the base case (do nothing) and 8 alternatives. Most of the
alternatives seek to extend the length of time that the lakes are at summer
pool. All eight of the alternatives will have an adverse effect on migratory
shorebirds (as stated in Table ES-02 "Summary of Impacts by Policy
Alternative" under Terrestrial Ecology in the Executive Summary document). 
The EIS is available for viewing on the TVA website: www.tva.com. Click on:
Read a study update and information about the meetings. On the right hand
side of the screen is a paragraph that says Environmental Impact Statement,
click on the words: Read it here. From that page you can read the different
parts of the EIS and you can submit your comments online. You can also
comment via snail mail by writing:

Shorebird habitat has been addressed in the draft EIS in 3 areas:
1) Analysis of impacts to threatened and endangered species
2) Terrestrial ecology
3) Analyzing impacts to management areas and ecological sites
The EIS is in chapters and some of these areas will be covered in more than
one chapter.

The only meeting in KY is on Tuesday, August 12, 2 p.m. - 8 p.m. in
Gilbertsville, KY at the Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.......................
Sincerely,
