Water

These are areas designated to protect river and creek channels and flood plains from development that would appreciably increase flood heights and flood damage. Generally, no structures or uses should be permitted within the floodway that would alter a stream's character and ability to carry floodwaters.
  • FEMA designated floodways
  • Rivers and TVA reservoirs such as the French Broad River, Holston River, Tennessee River (Fort Loudoun Lake), and Clinch River (Melton Hill Lake)
