add to cart   close window

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has turned its attention to economic development, water and air pollution and recreation, and already there are indications that the new look is less attractive and more disturbing than the old. The Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, a 200,000-acre project is being developed on a wooded isthmus between two man-made lakes in western Kentucky and Tennessee. For almost four years. TVA has been locked in a bitter dispute with landowners in the area, a dispute which has raised legal and constitutional questions that could present the agency with the most prickly problems it has ever handled.
