Summary
Built in 1950, this earth dam stands at a height of 24.6 feet and has a hydraulic height of 23.7 feet, providing a storage capacity of 24 acre-feet. With a surface area of 2.9 acres and a drainage area of 0.08 square miles, this dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, offering a serene and picturesque setting for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy.
Despite its recreational appeal, Lakeland Hills poses a high hazard potential, with a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. Although the dam's condition has not been rated, regular inspections are conducted every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway type and has a history of modifications, emphasizing the importance of risk management measures to mitigate potential hazards and ensure public safety.
Situated within the Nashville District and overseen by the Tennessee state agency, Lakeland Hills serves as a vital water resource in the region. As a notable feature along the Tribharpeth River, this dam not only provides recreational opportunities but also highlights the importance of responsible water management practices in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
