1. GENERAL: Dale Hollow National Fish Hatchery provides aquatic/biological mitigation of Tennessee Valley Authority and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers water development projects in the Southeast and supports USFWS national conservation efforts for threatened/endangered/at-risk species. The hatchery is currently working rearing Fundulus julisia (Barrens Topminnows) in a 24x30 prefab metal shed separated from the primary hatchery facility by a short drive. The Barrens topminnow recovery efforts have grown and the best way to continue to advance the effort is to replace the temporary shed with a similar shed located as close as reasonable to the primary rearing areas of the hatchery.
