Pickwick Reservoir Plan

Technical Report ·

OSTI ID:6154467

The Tennessee Valley Authority is committed to the wise use and management of Pickwick Reservoir's 17,370 acres of public land, recognizing the positive influence such stewardship can have on the quality of growth in the reservoir area. This plan is a decisionmaking tool that will help to guide and expedite TVA's handling of requests for the use of its lands and allow the Agency to better meet its responsibilities as a public agency and land manager. It is not a rigid master plan. Rather, it is intended to flexibly guide development, facilitate land management, and offer alternative sites for specific land use proposals around the reservoir. The plan provides: data and analysis in sufficient detail to prepare environmental assessments or land use reviews for specific proposals; and a vehicle for recording and updating changes in land use, environmental conditions, and landrights on TVA and adjacent lands. This plan designates Pickwick Reservoir lands for a variety of single and multiple land uses, guided primarily by the desires expressed by private groups and individuals, TVA land use policies and management objectives, and the inherent capability of the land to support various uses. This report provides documentation of the planning process and the land use designations resulting from that process. It is divided into seven sections including: (1) Pickwick Reservoir and Surrounding Land, (2) Public Involvement in the planning process, (3) land management goals, mandates and strategies, (4) land use allocation procedures, (5) the plan, (6) environmental quality controls, and (7) summary.
