Image Description: | Lenoir City, Tennessee - The Tellico Dam on the Little Tennessee River, built by the Tennessee Valley Authority in the late 1970s. Construction of the dam was controversial because it was expected to wipe out the snail darter, a small, endangered fish found in the river. The Tellico Dam does not generate electricity directly; rather, it diverts the flow of the Little Tennessee to the nearby hydroelectric Fort Loudoun Dam. |
