Navigation Aid Problem Report
TVA and the United States Coast Guard work together to keep buoys, daymarks, and other Tennessee River system navigation aids accurate and in excellent condition. Navigation aids on the commercial navigation channel are maintained by the Coast Guard, while those on the secondary channels and tributary reservoirs are maintained by TVA.
You can help ensure travel on the waterways is safe by notifying us of problems or issues with the navigation aids on the river system.
If you see a navigation aid that is damaged, out of place, missing, or not operating properly, please make a selection below and complete the form to notify us. Making a selection below will either take you to the Coast Guard website for navigation aids they maintain, or to the form for TVA navigation aids.
