Summary
This privately owned earth dam stands at a height of 33 feet and has a storage capacity of 1059 acre-feet, with a normal storage capacity of 600 acre-feet. The dam covers a surface area of 60 acres and has a drainage area of 1015 square miles, making it a significant feature in the region for water enthusiasts.
Despite its primary purpose of recreation, Stokes #2 Dam has a high hazard potential and is currently not rated in terms of condition assessment. While the dam has not been inspected recently, it is important for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor its condition and ensure that proper emergency preparedness measures, such as an Emergency Action Plan, are in place. With its location in a high-risk area, it is crucial to stay informed about any potential risks and management measures associated with this dam.
Although Stokes #2 Dam falls under the jurisdiction of the Memphis District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, it is not regulated by any state agency. This highlights the importance of private owners taking responsibility for the upkeep and safety of the dam. Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the beauty and recreational opportunities provided by this dam while also recognizing the need for vigilance in ensuring its structural integrity and emergency preparedness measures.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
