The Nashville District oversees ten lakes, nine multi-purpose dams, eighteen navigation locks at fourteen locations, 267 recreation areas, 3,522 camping sites, and over 3,800 miles of shoreline. During the course of any given year, nuisance wildlife issues arise. These issues have ranged from removing skunks or raccoons from campgrounds to dispersing vultures, Canadian geese, and gulls. The need, however, extends beyond just removing a nuisance. For instance, other problems that the District encounters include animals burrowing into the District’s earthen dams—one of which is classified as DSAC I. Being able to quickly address these invasive species prevents weakening of these structures and the failure to address them poses a safety problem. The total area covered by these services is 336,106 acres of land and 216,200 acres of water.
