Located in Holladay, Tennessee, the Jackson dam on Fourteen Creek was completed in 1969 and serves as a private water resource for the surrounding area. With a hydraulic height of 10.8 feet and a structural height of 14.4 feet, the earth dam spans 450 feet in length and has a storage capacity of 69 acre-feet. Despite being classified as low hazard potential and not currently rated for condition assessment, the dam's risk assessment is moderate (3), prompting the need for ongoing monitoring and management.
Operated by a private owner, the Jackson dam is not regulated by the state and does not have associated structures or outlet gates. Its spillway type is uncontrolled, and it has a surface area of 8.6 acres within a drainage area of 0.31 square miles. With a primary purpose not specified, the dam is situated in a picturesque location within Benton County, Tennessee, providing a valuable source of water storage for local agricultural and environmental needs.
While the Jackson dam may not be subject to regular state inspection or permitting, its location within the Nashville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers ensures a level of oversight and adherence to safety standards. With a congressman representing the area, potential future modifications or upgrades to the dam may be guided by federal regulations and funding. As water resource and climate enthusiasts monitor the evolving landscape of water management, the Jackson dam stands as a reminder of the critical role of infrastructure in sustaining communities and ecosystems.
