The Cumberland River Basin Clean Marina Program is a voluntary program implemented by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District and its watershed partners to promote environmentally responsible marina and boating practices. Mitchell Creek Marina on Dale Hollow Lake is proud to be part of that effort.
This program, established in support of the National Clean Boating Campaign, helps marina operators protect the very resource that provides them with their livelihood: Clean Water. It is designed as an ongoing program to reduce water pollution and erosion in the Cumberland River watershed.
The effort encourages boater education, increased coordination among state agencies and better communication of existing laws as well as offer incentives for creative and proactive marina operators.
