Projects consist of 10 dams, nine hydroelectric power plants, four navigation projects and 10 lakes in the Cumberland River Basin. We continue to remain in partnership with the Tennessee Valley Authority on 10 navigation projects in the Tennessee River Basin. The Regulatory Program is committed to projecting aquatic resources and wetlands, while allowing reasonable development through fair, flexible and balanced permit decisions. Emergency Management Activities include emergency planning and operations for natural disasters, national emergencies and mobilization.

Our Small Business Office work closely with the local Society of American and Military Engineers (S.A.M.E), Tennessee Small Business Development Center (TSBDC), U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), APEX (formally PTAC) and the Small Business Administration (SBA) and other agencies to help your business successfully navigate the federal contracting waters.

The Procurement Opportunities Conference Day Forum will focus primarily on presentations from various representatives that will heighten contractor's awareness on training and business opportunities, tips for success for small businesses, unique requirements and qualifications required for complex projects, and the opportunity for government and industry to network and forge meaningful partnerships. The forum will also address customer perceptions and experiences working with small businesses based on reviews and feedback from customers and provide the opportunity to brief federal contracting representatives on a company’s ability to fulfill certain requirements within a specific realm of the acquisition landscape.
