Mountain Reservoirs Land Management Plan

TVA is developing a Land Management Plan to guide land use and resource management decisions concerning TVA-managed public lands located along nine mountain reservoirs: Apalachia, Blue Ridge, Chatuge, Fontana, Hiwassee, Nottely, Ocoee 1 (Parksville), Ocoee 2, and Ocoee 3. (View maps of the nine mountain reservoirs.) The Plan will identify the most suitable and appropriate use for each parcel of TVA-managed public land along these reservoirs for the next 10 years. The anticipated impacts of implementing the Plan will be described in an environmental impact statement (EIS).

A public comment period was conducted June 1st - June 30th, 2007. Comments received on this land management planning process and on the environmental issues to be addressed in the associated EIS have been summarized in a report, Summary of Public Participation (PDF, 243 kb).
