Located in Cocke, Tennessee, the Bryant dam was completed in 1987 with the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. This private dam stands at a structural height of 21 feet and stretches 315 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet. With a hazard potential rated as high and a moderate risk assessment score of 3, the Bryant dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
Despite not being state regulated or permitted, the Bryant dam serves as a vital infrastructure for fire protection, stock, and small fish ponds in addition to flood risk reduction. The dam, of earth type construction, holds a surface area of 4.5 acres and drains a 0.38 square mile area. Although the condition assessment is currently not rated, regular inspections are conducted every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and safety.
With a spillway type classified as uncontrolled and no outlet gates, the Bryant dam poses a significant risk if not properly maintained. Emergency action plans are yet to be prepared, but the dam's importance in managing water resources and mitigating flood risks underscores the need for proactive risk management measures to safeguard the surrounding community and environment.
