The study will provide for interviews of randomly selected boaters during the summer of 2001, to learn their perceptions of conditions on the lake and how those perceptions affect their recreational experiences. In addition, the contractor doing the study will work with management personnel of Dale Hollow Lake and Nashville District to help them better understand the capacity study process and baseline data for answering questions and making management decisions. The approach to be used is titled Quality Upgrading and Learning (QUAL), which has five steps: 1) defining the quality goal, 2)inventory, 3) analysis of alternative, 4) setting management objectives and implementing them and 5) monitoring the results.
