EPA Approved Tennessee Source-Specific Requirements: Please note that the adobe portable document file (pdf) linked below is not Section 508 compliant, and not screen reader adaptable. However, we are required by court order to post these documents to the internet. EPA did not receive compliant files from the agencies who issued the permits.
