The issue addressed herein is whether Dale Hollow Lake was chosen as a potential site for this project due to its proximity to other reservoirs which are also likely to offer suitable eagle nesting habitat. The issue addressed herein is whether Dale Hollow provides a sufficient food supply to support a successful project. The report also proposes recommendations for implementing such as endeavor.
