Bomar #2, also known as Bomar Lake Dam, is a private earth dam located in Bedford, Tennessee, with a primary purpose of serving as a Fish and Wildlife Pond. Built in 1968 by the USDA NRCS, this dam stands at a structural height of 28 feet and has a hydraulic height of 20 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 36 acre-feet, with a normal storage of 24 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 3 acres.

Despite not being state-regulated, Bomar #2 has a significant hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. It is designed with an uncontrolled spillway type and has no outlet gates. The dam is inspected every 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in September 2017. While the dam's condition assessment is not rated, it is important for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor its risk management measures and emergency action preparedness to ensure the safety of the surrounding area and wildlife habitat.
