Advisory Council Begins Work

As the “Stewardship” in its name would suggest, the Regional Resource Stewardship Council (RRSC) is doing its part to ensure that the natural gifts of the Tennessee Valley are preserved for future generations.

TVA convened the first meeting of the RRSC in 2000 to provide a forum for public input concerning the agency’s decision-making processes in the area of natural-resource management. An advisory group made up of 20 members who represent a wide variety of interests, the council helps TVA set priorities in managing the Tennessee River and its watershed.

The RRSC’s subcommittees spent much of last year studying such issues as integrated river management, navigation infrastructure, public-lands management, and water quality. Recently they began reporting their recommendations to the full council.

RRSC meetings are open to the public. You may view documents related to the meetings on the RRSC Web site.
