Norris Lake (Tennessee)
Norris Lake is a reservoir that is located in Anderson, Campbell, Claiborne, Grainger, and Union counties in Tennessee. The lake was created by the Norris Dam at the Cove Creek Site on the Clinch River in 1936 by the TVA for flood control. The dam was the first major project taken on by the TVA. The lake, dam and the town of Norris, Tennessee are named after George W Norris, who was a United States senator from Nebraska and wrote the legislation that created the TVA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nebraskahistory.org/sites/norris/moreinfo.htm )〕
== History ==
Norris Lake was created by the Norris Dam, which was the first project taken on by the Tennessee Valley Authority as part of the New Deal. Construction began in 1933 and the project was finished in March 1936. The dam cost about $36,000,000 to build. The dam is 265 feet high and expands 1,860 feet across the clinch river. Construction of the dam also created the nearby town of Norris which was created to house the workers and their families.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tngenweb.org/tva/NorrisDam/norris.php )〕
Norris Lake flows 73 miles up the Clinch River and 56 miles up the Powell River from Norris Dam. It has a flood storage capacity of 1,113,000 acre-feet and has 809 miles of shoreline and 33,840 acres of water surface with a maximum width of 1.2 miles and a maximum depth of 210 feet, which makes it the largest lake on a tributary of the Tennessee River and as of 2011 has an ecological health rating of fair. The TVA has also put a clean water initiative into place to keep the lake clean and litter free and the program is monitored by the Regional Watershed Office.
