This private earth dam stands at 26 feet tall and spans 180 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 17 acre-feet. The dam is primarily used for recreational purposes, with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.
Although the dam is not state-regulated or permitted, it undergoes regular inspections every five years to ensure its structural integrity. The last inspection was conducted in June 2016, with a condition assessment of "Not Rated." The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with no associated locks. Despite its moderate risk level, the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan prepared or updated to meet guidelines.
Teaberry Ridge Lake Dam offers a picturesque surface area of 1 acre, providing a serene environment for water and climate enthusiasts to enjoy. With its unique buttress core design and unknown foundation type, this recreational dam serves as a valuable asset for the local community. While the dam poses a low hazard potential, ongoing risk management measures and a comprehensive Emergency Action Plan would enhance its safety and resilience in the face of potential emergencies.
