Refish #1 is a privately owned dam located in Decatur, Tennessee, along the Big Branch river. Built in 1962, this earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet with a hydraulic height of 12 feet, providing a storage capacity of 144 acre-feet. The dam covers a surface area of 18.2 acres and serves the purpose of water storage and management in the region.
Although Refish #1 is not regulated by the state of Tennessee, it has been classified as having a significant hazard potential. It lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and has not been rated for its condition assessment. Despite its moderate risk level, the dam has not been modified in recent years and has not undergone any significant inspections since October 2017.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Refish #1 serves as a noteworthy example of a privately owned dam with important implications for local water management and safety. Its location in a high-risk area highlights the need for improved monitoring and emergency preparedness measures to mitigate potential hazards and ensure the dam's long-term stability and functionality.
