Tennessee Valley Authority environmental research summary, 1987
- eds.
This annual report summarizes environmental research activities of the Tennessee Valley Authority, conducted during fiscal year 1986. This research is conducted to identify and resolve environmental problems associated with TVA's programs. TVA also considers the search for effective, practical means of protecting and enhancing the environment to be a vital component of its mission to develop and conserve the natural resources of the Tennessee Valley region. Most of TVA's environmental research activities are directed toward developing practical solutions within six broad categories of problems and issues related to the protection and enhancement of regional environmental quality. These six categories are: (1) Acid Deposition; (2) Air quality; (3) Groundwater; (4) Hazardous Materials and Waste Management; (5) Surface Water Quality and Reservoir Ecology; and (6) Forest and Wildlife Management. An appendix is included to provide the name and address of the project director responsible for each project described in the six sections.
