Today: Monday, September 15, 2003 TVAs
Shoreline-Construction Regulations Updated, Available Online The regulations were amended to include new sections and to provide clarity. Highlights include the following:
Section 26a of the TVA Act requires that landowners or developers obtain TVA approval before any construction that affects navigation, flood control or public lands along the shoreline of TVA reservoirs or in the Tennessee River or its tributaries. Regulations under Section 26a are designed to ensure that construction along the shoreline and in waters of the Tennessee River system does not have a negative effect on TVAs management of the river system or its ability to carry out the unified development and regulation of the Tennessee River.
