After approval of a reservoir land management plan (LMP) by the TVA Board of Directors (TVA Board), all future uses of TVA lands on that reservoir must then be consistent with the allocations within that LMP. TVA’s Land Policy (TVA 2006) states that TVA may consider changing a land use designation outside of the normal planning process only for the purposes of providing water access for industrial or commercial recreation operations on privately owned back-lying land or to implement TVA’s Shoreline Management Policy (SMP). A change in allocation of any parcel is subject to approval by the TVA Board or its designee.

  • Tennessee River Blueway Information
    About the Tennessee River Blueway Formed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) in the 1930’s, and designated as a river trail in 2002, the Tennessee River Blueway flows through Chattanooga and the Tennessee River Gorge for 50 miles, from Chickamauga Dam to Nickajack Dam. It provides opportunities for canoeists and kayakers to take day trips, or camp overnight in marinas, parks, or in one of five designated primitive sites. Just a few miles downstream from Chickamauga Dam, downtown Chattanooga offers accessible riverfront amenities on both shores. Paddlers can visit public parks and plazas, restaurants and coffee shops, galleries and museums, and attractions. Natural and man made features to be seen from the water include the restored 19th century Walnut Street Pedestrian Bridge, the Chief John Ross (Market Street) Bridge, Maclellan Island, the Museum Bluffs, and the Passage at Ross’ Landing. From Chattanooga, the Blueway winds around the Moccasin Bend National Archaeological District and historic Williams Island, then past Suck Creek to the Tennessee River Gorge Trust’s Pot Point House. The 1835 hand- hewed log cabin was restored in 1993. It was originally built with recycled logs taken from a flat boat that wrecked at the "The Boiling Pot,” formerly the most treacherous rapids in the Gorge. Nearby are Prentice Cooper State Forest and the TVA Raccoon Mountain Pump Storage Facility, which holds water for hydro-electric power generation. Atop the mountain is a man-made reservoir created by an impressive 230-foot-high, 8,500 foot-long dam. A visitors center, picnic facilities, and a network of trails around the reservoir offer recreation for hikers and mountain bikers.

  • "Just Mention Electricity and the Most Humdrum Citizen Immediately
    "Just mention electricity and the most humdrum citizen immediately becomes a poet, and when we think of it, there is no other servamt of humanity that performs so many useful duties for us." Towards an understanding of the history and material culture of Pre-TVA Hydroelectric Development in Tennessee, 1900 - 1933. PART I. By James B. Jones, Jr. The technology and design of electrical systems and the institutions formed to administer them matured together. In his book Networks of Power, Thomas P. Hughes, perhaps the foremost historian of the field, reveals three stages in the development of light and power in the United States from roughly 1890 to 1930. Varying with small differences in detail, the evolution of Tennessee's electrical supply system before the advent of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) correspond to the delineations Hughes discerns. This is not to suggest, however, that the evolution of hydroelectric power generation occurred in a lock-step manner, o- ne phase leading inevitably, logically and instantaneously to the next in an orderly, chronological procession of pre-ordained events. Indeed, development was more spasmodic as circumscribed by the temporal limits of this narrative. The main characteristic of the first stage was the emergence of low voltage, small, direct current (d.c.) lighting companies. As the forerunner of the contemporary electrical utility industry, these centrally located hydroelectric plants supplied light and electricity only to nearby municipalities. Because such low-voltage d.c. systems as these could serve only the small geographic areas to which they were confined by want of future developments in long distance electrical transmission, the number, not the size, of hydroelectric plants grew.

Missouri University of Science & Technology for the symposium on Engineering Geology in the Remediation & Karst foundations are always problematic • This section illustrates the cavernous ground explored beneath the foundations for the Kentucky Dam, near the mouth of the Kentucky River, about 20 miles east of Paducah, Kentucky in the early 1940s • Caverns extended up to 200 feet below river level, 70 feet below the channel thalweg! • The foundation treatment required almost 800,000 cubic feet of cement grout, a record in 1943. • The Tennessee River Gorge is located immediately downstream of Chattanooga. It is known as the Grand Canyon of Tennessee River. It contained a number of perilous “suck holes,” where swirling currents in the tight turns of the river obstructed riverine navigation. Vortex “suck hole” • The original dam site was at Scott Point, but a dam here would not inundate the lower gorge and its pool would impact Chattanooga. A site 33 river miles below the city was then selected, at Hales Bar. • Image at left shows a “suck hole” (vortex) • The Hales Bar dam site was chosen downstream in 1904, solely on the basis of favorable topography, at the southwest end of the Tennessee River Gorge. It was built by the Chattanooga and Tennessee River Power Company between 1905-13, to develop hydroelectric power. • With a width of 2,315 ft., it was a pioneering design for its era; with a concrete dike overflow section 1300 ft long, the highest single lift lock in the world, a sizable powerhouse, and an earthen dike with embedded concrete core wall.

  • TENNESSEE- Chickamauga
    Chickamauga Become a Member Add us to Your Favorites E-Mail Us TENNESSEE- Chickamauga Tennessee's Indian Peoples, From White contact to removal covering the period of 1540 to 1840 there were several tribes that laid claim to portions of Tennessee. The two main ethno-typed cultures of Tennessee were the Mississippian and Woodland cultures. Eventually, all natives of Tennessee blended these two cultures together. The names of the Mississippian tribes weren't as prominently known to historians as are the familiar names recorded- the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Creeks, and Shawnee (2). Tennessee was also the home to remnant bands of Natchez, Yuchi (6), and the Chickamauga*(anglicized spelling) Indians. Exactly when the "Chikamaka*" Indians first wandered into the Tennessee Valley is unknown. Their forbears the "Chitimaucas" lived in the lower Mississippi Valley (5). After 1776, additional tribes make Tennessee their residence as they align with the Chikamaka (1) under the leadership of the former Cherokee Draggingcanoe. These delegations from their respective nations include the Mohawk, the Ottawa, the Delaware, the Mingo (3), the Saponi, the Choctaw, and the Catawba. This is the hostile confederacy that gained notoriety in Tennessee history. These were the primary tribes who claimed residence in Tennessee prior to 1800. A less significant tribe once in Tennessee was the Koasati (4). Smaller and less known tribes were either assimilated or annihilated. In addition, out of state tribes, such as the Iroquois (2), occasionally used Tennessee as hunting grounds or for warfare. * Correctly said "Chikamaka." The spelling is documented in the works of the Moravian missionaries and is found in the book, (1) "Cherokees of the Old South a People in Transition" by Henry Thompson Malone, The University of Georgia Press Athens; http://travel.nostalgiaville.com/Tennessee/Chickamauga.htm (1 of 17) [1/13/2011 11:56:06 AM] Chickamauga Sources of information: (2) Tennessee's Indian Peoples by Ronald N.
