Malone Lake, located in Greene County, Tennessee, is a privately-owned earth dam structure built in 1960 on Lick Creek.
The lake has a hydraulic height of 24.1 feet and a structural height of 26.6 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 34 acre-feet and a normal storage of 27 acre-feet. Covering an area of 2.8 acres with a drainage area of 0.13 square miles, the lake serves as a reservoir for water resource management in the region.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Malone Lake has not been inspected since March 2018 and is currently not rated for condition assessment. The lake features an uncontrolled spillway type and does not have outlet gates. Despite not being state regulated or permitted, the lake's risk management measures are not specified, suggesting a need for further evaluation and potential improvements to its emergency action plan and guidelines. Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the management and conservation of small dams like Malone Lake may find opportunities to contribute to its sustainable operation and maintenance.
