The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) plans to create an environmental impact statement (EIS) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to examine the environmental effects of proposed upgrades to the Chatuge Dam Spillway and related structures. Evaluations revealed that the risk of a spillway failure is above what TVA finds acceptable. Alternatives being considered for the upgrades include restoring parts of the existing structure or constructing new sections. The public can provide input during the scoping period, and various permits will be necessary for these actions.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing changes to rules about hunting migratory birds in Alaska, focusing on subsistence harvest regulations. This includes introducing permits for hunters from excluded areas, closing the harvesting of emperor goose eggs statewide due to population concerns, and providing clarity on certain boundaries and regulations to ensure compliance and proper management. The proposals aim to involve Native representatives in managing these rules and ensure the sustainability of bird populations while balancing subsistence needs.
