Dock repair, boat lifts and new dock construction on the TVA lakes around Knoxville.
Guides
How this work actually gets specified, costed and built — and the problems worth designing around. Written from public sources, with the references on every page.
A letter naming the State Historic Preservation Officer can stop a dock application for months. What Appendix C actually requires, who pays for the survey, and the clock it runs on.
Read the guide →If a dock needs an individual Corps permit, your name and a drawing of it go out to the adjoining owners and the local press. What the comment period does, and what it cannot do.
Read the guide →Treated wood for a dock is specified by retention and use category, not by "treated". What 0.40, 0.60 and 0.80 mean, and why the end tag is the document that settles it.
Read the guide →TVA approves a specific structure of stated size in a stated position. The footprint, the 150-foot rule, deck height and the lines on the drawing that decide what you can build.
Read the guide →Planning a dock on a TVA lake? How Section 26a approval works, what TVA reviews, the footprint limits, timescales, fees and what to check before you build.
