Summary
Built in 1963 by the USDA NRCS, this Earth-type dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, with a hydraulic height of 25.5 feet and a structural height of 29.6 feet. With a normal storage capacity of 131 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 193 acre-feet, Alice covers a surface area of 12.8 acres and drains a 0.76 square mile area.
Managed by the Tennessee Safe Dams Program, Alice has a significant hazard potential but is currently assessed as being in satisfactory condition as of September 2020. The dam has no outlet gates and an uncontrolled spillway type. While there are no associated structures or locks, the dam has been inspected every 2 years to ensure its safety. Despite its moderate risk level, Alice provides a valuable recreational resource for the community and underscores the importance of proper dam maintenance and management in mitigating potential hazards and ensuring public safety.
In the event of an emergency, it is essential for the Tennessee Safe Dams Program to have an effective Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place to guide response efforts. As of the latest data update in May 2021, specifics regarding the EAP preparedness, last revision date, and adherence to guidelines are not available for Alice. The dam's risk management measures and inundation maps status also remain undisclosed, highlighting the importance of continuous monitoring and improvement of emergency preparedness protocols to enhance public safety and minimize potential risks associated with significant hazard dams like Alice.

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.
