I talked to the TWRA job foreman at the site while they were pouring the slab for the new ramp and he told me that TVA required the rip rap. He said any soil disturbance adjacent to the water has to be covered. I pointed the same thing out about nowhere to pull your boat up and he said he "thought" a new courtesy dock would be installed at a later date. His crew only does ramps, they work state wide and have a three to four year backlog. Apparently TWRA uses another crew or maybe contractors for the docks.
