Summary
This earth dam stands at a structural height of 17.3 feet with a hydraulic height of 12.1 feet, providing a storage capacity of 118 acre-feet for recreational purposes. With a surface area of 10.1 acres and a drainage area of 0.11 square miles, Cedar Lake #2 offers a serene environment for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy outdoor activities.
Managed by the Tennessee Safe Dams Program, Cedar Lake #2 has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. While its condition assessment is not rated, the dam undergoes regular inspections every three years to ensure its safety and stability. Despite the absence of outlet gates, the uncontrolled spillway type and the lack of associated structures, Cedar Lake #2 continues to serve its primary purpose of recreation for the local community and visitors alike. With its picturesque location and moderate risk level, this dam presents an opportunity for water resource and climate enthusiasts to appreciate nature while being mindful of safety measures.
In the event of emergencies, Cedar Lake #2's emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk management measures remain undisclosed. However, with its last inspection conducted in September 2018 and a designated emergency contact protocol in place, the dam is equipped to respond to potential risks. While the dam's risk assessment indicates a moderate level of concern, its overall condition and hazard potential suggest a stable and secure environment for recreational activities. As water resource and climate enthusiasts explore Cedar Lake #2, they can appreciate its beauty and recreational opportunities, while also acknowledging the importance of safety and risk management practices in dam operations.

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.
