Can I install a drainage ditch, pond, or backfill, or excavate within the right-of-way?
Not if the ground elevation is raised such that it poses a safety clearance risk. If such activities do not unreasonably interfere with the safe operation and maintenance of the line and do not restrict reasonable access to the line, they are generally permitted. Before performing grade-changing activities, contact the TVA representative responsible for the right-of-way in your area by clicking on the map. Also, see Question 18.
