Title: Floating Cabins | |
Abstract:
To promote the unified development and regulation of the Tennessee River System, Congress directed TVA to approve obstructions across, along, or in the river system under Section 26a of the TVA Act. TVA also owns, as agent for the United States, much of the shoreland and inundated land along and under its reservoir system. In the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act of 2016, Congress established that TVA may establish health, safety, and environmental standards for floating cabins. There are approximately 2,200 floating cabins on the Tennessee River System. Floating cabin owners currently have until 2024 to comply with the standards and apply for a TVA Section 26a permit in order to remain on the Tennessee River System. Various factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain and labor resource shortages, and wastewater certification decisions have caused delays for floating cabin owners to achieve compliance, and this proposal considers an extension of the deadline for all floating cabins owners to comply with the regulations and apply for a Section 26a permit along with clarifying amendments on the existing health, safety, and environmental standards. |
