Environmental Reviews

TVA conducts environmental reviews in accordance with the  National Environmental Policy Act, which requires federal agencies to consider the effects of their proposed projects on the human and natural environment before final decisions are made. These environmental reviews under NEPA typically also include assessments that facilitate compliance with other environmental reviews requirements, such as those under the  National Historic Preservation Act and the  Endangered Species Act
