NLPA Focus

Water Testing Data

Water Testing Status:

​

  1. Water Quality Initiative.  The NLPA had a 12-month (multi-site) testing baseline for Norris Lake.

  2. Phase 2.  We have updated process to testing quarterly to compare lake water samples to past data.

  3. NLPA data is shared with TDEC and concerning trends are discussed with the TDEC state experts to stay ahead of potential Norris Lake pollution issues. Prevention is far better than remediation.​

Surface Trash Removal

  1. NLPA teams with Norris Lake Project (NLP) and volunteers to clean up trash on both the lake and land.

  2. Volunteers pilot boats to take volunteers back and forth from the Marina to nearby cleanup sites.

  3. Volunteers Assist in picking up trash at the cleanup sites.

  4. Volunteers use their vehicle to move trash from the boat launch to the dumpster

Derelict Boat Removal

There are (2) 30+ft house boats that have been sunken on these shorelines for many years. NLPA volunteers will be recovering these boats during the December low pool period.
