Watts Bar Reservoir Tract WBR-82 (Iron Hill Island) Bank Stabilization Project

Rhea County, Tennessee

TVA is responsible for the management of public shoreline on Watts Bar Reservoir and for the protection of shoreline and aquatic resources, while providing reasonable public access. The project is intended to minimize the destabilization and erosion of the shoreline and banks of the island and the resultant turbidity and sedimentation of reservoir waters. The project supports and is consistent with TVA’s mission of environmental stewardship, the objectives for water resource management in the TVA Natural Resources Plan (NRP, 2011), and TVA’s management goals set forth in TVA’s Tims Ford Reservoir Land Management Plan (RLMP, 2000).
