weight Counties take TVA side but want favor returned By JOE WALKER Sun Staff Writer A group of county officials voted today to defend the Tennessee Valley Authority in its power fight with the Department of Energy, then asked TVA what it can do to return the favor. About 25 officials of the Association of Tennessee Valley Authority Counties and TVA met at the Executive Inn to discuss ways the authority plans to help local governments. Specifics were to be given later on solid- and hazardous waste management, electrical power costs and water quality. Association President Mike Miller, Marshall County judgeexecutive, read a resolution asking Congress to "take appropriate action" forcing DOE to honor its contract with TVA. TVA filed suit Wednesday, alleging DOE breached its contract by refusing to pay part of a long-term power bill.
DOE officials say that by October, they will pay only half their monthly $42 million bill. TVA says the result could be a 6 percent increase to all its customers by year's end. The resolution said the rise would affect 170 of 201 counties in western Kentucky and northwest Tennessee that are part of the association. DOE, a federal agency, should honor its contract, it said. Association members unanimously passed the resolution after hearing TVA general manager Bill Willis promise better cooperation between his agency and local governments.
"Your constituents don't really realize what a large business you are running with a lot of governmental he said. Willis said TVA has these general economic development plans: Increase the use of rivers. Expand existing industries. Maintain the water quality of Kentucky Lake for tourism and trade. Establish partnerships with groups of counties to tackle problems such as solid waste.
Just as fiscal courts are perplexed by strict new regulations on landfills, TVA is facing competition, excess power, fixed costs and dwindling power markets, Willis said. "The invisible hand of competition" such as cheap power from Canada is forcing electric utility industry out of the virtual monopoly it has enjoyed for the past centry, he added. After Willis spoke, Miller asked him what TVA can do specifically to help counties with solid waste problems. "It's becoming so costly to dispose of solid waste," Miller said. "That alone, coupled with the jail problems we have, could break Willis said he favors "piggyback- WATER Continued from page C1 Aquatic weeds also were a topic at the meeting.
Urban said Pratt is testing the herbicide Diquat on three abayment areas to determine its effect on vegetation and possible unwanted side effects. Urban said the studies are still underway and Pratt has drawn no conclusions. "He is now testing the herbicide in the field to see if the results are the same as they were in the lab." Pratt said other herbicides will be tested also. The use of herbicides in the reservoir has been a controversial topic. "Some segments want no spraying at all, while others want it done extensively," Urban said.
"Last year people were at each other's throats over this." The current policy of the task force is limited, selective spraying to insure adequate channels for navigation into marinas and other shore establishments. "It's the best alternative we have right now," Urban said. "But we are studying the herbicides and using them with great care. We have no other choice until a better method of controlling weeds comes along." Urban said that a study of fish disease in the lake conducted by Dr. Yolanda Brady of Auburn University showed no abnormal incidences of fish disease or parasites.
Urban said the study showed fish in the lake to be in excellent condition with no signs of severe stress at this time. "Dr. Brady found nothing to lead her to believe there is anything unusual in the fish population. She said unless some unusual stress does occur, there should be no problem," he said. Brady is expected to conduct another study in late August after decreased water flow and prolonged higher temperatures have been factors in the health of fish.
ing" existing gasifiers, utility boilers and large, industrial boilers, rather than building expensive plants to burn refuse. TVA is looking at several sites to which counties might send their waste, he said. Lyon County Judge-Executive Terry McKinney then asked about TVA's plans for the "commercialization" of Land Between the Lakes. "I don't believe in commercialization of the LBL," Willis responded. "I'm sorry that ever got talked That ain't gonna happen, folks." He said financial projects such as "camp stores" should be considered, but he assured McKinney that local businesses would be asked to bid on them and supply them.
Willis agreed with Miller that TVA has too few administrators to cover such a large area, frustrating county officials. To address that and other problems, the authority has opened an office of governmental and public affairs, he said.
