LONE MOUNTAIN ― The Tennessee Valley Authority is asking the public for comments on plans to issue a permit and 30-year easement for a new marina and connected facilities on 63 acres on Norris Reservoir at Clinch River Mile 134.7 in Claiborne County.

Per TVA’s draft environmental assessment: “The proposed (Norris Lake Serenity, LLC) Project would include 1,216 public boat slips, a floating marina store, fuel docks, a wave break, utilities to service the boat slips, land-based porticos, a boat ramp, and access roads and associated infrastructure. TVA’s action includes approval of the construction of proposed facilities within TVA’s flowage easement and approval of a 30-year easement for operation of the commercial marina.”

Details on the proposed Tennessee Vues Marina are found in a draft environmental assessment posted at tva.com/nepa. The draft assessment considers the potential environmental impacts of the commercial marina as requested in Section 26a permit applications. The marina would include boat slips for public rental and is consistent with TVA’s land management policies.

Comments on the draft EA can be submitted by Dec. 22, 2025, and may be submitted online at tva.com/nepa, emailed to This email address is being protected from spambots.
