Several different federal statutes can dictate what kind of environmental reviews must be undertaken by TVA and other federal agencies before they can approve or permit private intake facilities. These can include evaluations under the National Environmental Policy Act, National Historic Preservation Act, and the Endangered Species Act. The environmental reviews conducted on the state level follow environmental regulatory policies and laws established by that state.
