Davis is a privately owned dam located in Bradley, Tennessee, along Black Fox Creek. Built in 1966, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 16.8 feet and has a hydraulic height of 12.4 feet. With a storage capacity of 51 acre-feet, it serves the primary purpose of providing water resource management in the region. Despite being unregulated by the state and lacking regular inspections, Davis poses a significant hazard potential due to its location and condition.

Despite its age, Davis has not undergone any major modifications or condition assessments in recent years. With a spillway width of 0 and no outlet gates, the dam's risk assessment is rated as moderate. Although an emergency action plan (EAP) has not been prepared, it is crucial for the dam to meet safety guidelines and have updated emergency contacts in case of unforeseen events. As climate change continues to impact water resources in the region, it is imperative for stakeholders to prioritize the maintenance and monitoring of dams like Davis to ensure the safety and sustainability of local communities and ecosystems.
