SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice is provided in accordance with
the Council on Environmental Quality’s
regulations (40 CFR parts 1500 to 1508)
and TVA’s procedures for implementing
the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), and Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act and its
implementing regulations (36 CFR part

TVA is a corporate agency and
instrumentality of the United States,
established by an act of Congress in
1933, to foster the social and economic
welfare of the people of the Tennessee
Valley region and to promote the proper
use and conservation of the region’s
natural resources. Shortly after its
creation, TVA began a dam and
reservoir construction program that
required the purchase of approximately
1.3 million acres of land for the creation
of 46 reservoirs within the Tennessee
Valley region. Most of these lands are
located underneath the water of the
reservoir system or have since been sold
by TVA or transferred to other state or
federal agencies. Today, approximately
293,000 acres of land along TVA
reservoirs are managed by TVA for the
benefit of the public.
Reservoir Land Management Plans
TVA’s eight RLMPs will address
management of approximately 138,222
acres of TVA-managed public lands
surrounding the following reservoirs:
Chickamauga, Fort Loudon, Great Falls,
Nickajack and Normandy in Tennessee;
Wheeler and Wilson in Alabama; and
Kentucky in Tennessee and Kentucky.
In the EIS, TVA will consider the
potential environmental impacts of the
eight RLMPs and the allocation of
