 Welcome
to the Nashville District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The
Nashville District encompasses over 59,000 square miles and includes
parts of seven states. It has regulatory, flood control, navigation,
hydropower and recreational responsibility for the Cumberland River
watershed. It also has regulatory and navigation responsibility for
most of the Tennessee River watershed.
The Nashville District is able to carry out these demanding missions
because of its more than 780 dedicated team members who make a
difference every day. They execute an annual budget of approximately
$130 million of which more than half goes to the operation of the
ten lakes/reservoirs, 14 locks, and nine hydropower plants.
For over 114 years, the Nashville District and its team members have
worked to tame rivers, protect citizens and property, provide
services and recreation and to be there if disaster strikes. It is
this commitment that continues today and will flourish in the future
as the District continues providing “Courageous Service.”
