The reason for the barrier is for overhead protection of falling frame work/anything the crane lifts to build the new scrubbers, It is a mandate that TVA reduce Emissions and this is part of process. The contractors can't put up a barrier during the day then remove during non work periods.

As for the guy entering the area unless it has a red tagout or red tape across the area then you will only be asked to leave but of course they do also have on hand there own Federal police force onsite so why push it.

We as local Middle Tennesseans could ask for the barrier to be moved from Point A. closer to the plant at point B. during the winter months rather than at the mouth of the outlet as it would appear to be away from a falling crane's length.
