Summary
It stands at a structural height of 25 feet and a hydraulic height of 20.5 feet, holding a normal storage capacity of 57 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 90 acre-feet. The dam spans 400 feet in length, creating a surface area of 7 acres and serving the drainage area of 0.06 square miles.
Despite its low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, Rolling Ridges has not been conditionally assessed and remains not rated in terms of its condition. It is not regulated or permitted by the state, nor does it fall under state jurisdiction for inspection or enforcement. The dam, situated on Triblewis Creek, features an uncontrolled spillway and has a history of moderate risk management measures in place. The last inspection, conducted in October 2017, indicated a five-year inspection frequency for this structure. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Rolling Ridges offers a noteworthy case study in dam management and risk assessment within the state of Tennessee.

Dam Data Reference
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.
