The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is proposing to place and test barriers and deterrents to stop the spread of invasive carp species along the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers and other connected waterways, something that advocates trying to combat the fish say has been years in the making.
The USACE in its proposal released Monday wants to place the barriers and deterrents at up to 10 sites, all of them various locks and dams, ranging from the Kentucky Lake Lock and Dam in western Kentucky to the Fort Loudoun Dam in eastern Tennessee.
