Luckey #1 is a privately owned earth dam located in Carroll, Tennessee, along the Demoss Creek. Built in 1964, this dam stands at a hydraulic height of 16.1 feet and a structural height of 18.3 feet, with a length of 497 feet and a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Luckey #1 plays a crucial role in regulating water flow and providing flood protection in the area.

Despite being privately owned and not regulated by the state, Luckey #1 has not undergone recent inspections and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. With no emergency action plan prepared or updated, there are concerns about its safety and preparedness in case of emergencies. However, the dam's location in a relatively low-risk area and its uncontrolled spillway type contribute to its overall stability and functionality.

Luckey #1 serves as a vital infrastructure in the water resource management system of Carroll, Tennessee, and its surrounding areas. With its modest size and capacity, this dam ensures water storage for irrigation purposes and helps mitigate the risk of flooding in the region. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and monitoring of structures like Luckey #1 become increasingly important for ensuring community safety and environmental sustainability.
