The Tennessee Valley Authority has been asking for public comment on a proposal to build ten barriers along lock and dam sites on the Tennessee River to curb the spread of Asian carp or invasive carp.
TVA is one of several agencies on the Federal and state level that cooperated on the proposal to control the fish.
Dennis Baxter manages the river and reservoir compliance monitoring program at TVA.
Cole Harty is aquatic nuisance species coordinator at the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.
