TVA just runs the dams. For permits to place structure, you need to contact the Corps of Engineers. They're the ones responsible for keeping the rivers navigable. I personally don't worry about permits. Just use common sense and don't put it where someone could get hurt.

Use common sense was basically what TVA folks told me. I got my dock permit, excavation permit, and landscaping permit thru TVA at the Paris Office. But the permits involve COE and environmental studies some how or another. I just paid the money and did the stuff per their drawings. A lot of stuff at our Lake house is grandfathered in. Wonder if my brushpiles are grandfathered in? ha
