Alice is a private dam located in Pleasant Hill, Tennessee, along the TRIBFREY BRANCH river. 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.
