Summary
It was completed in 1967 and has a hydraulic height of 14.1 feet and a structural height of 16.3 feet, with a total dam length of 740 feet. The dam's primary purpose is not specified, but it serves to regulate SHAW'S CREEK and has a normal storage capacity of 37 acre-feet.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Mustin #2 presents a moderate level of risk that requires careful monitoring and management. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and inspections are conducted every 5 years to ensure its safety and integrity. Despite being privately owned, the dam is not regulated by the state of Tennessee and does not fall under state jurisdiction for permitting, inspection, or enforcement.
Overall, Mustin #2 plays a crucial role in water resource management and flood control in the area, providing storage capacity and regulating water flow in SHAW'S CREEK. Its presence contributes to the overall resilience of the region's water infrastructure, highlighting the importance of private dam owners in maintaining the safety and functionality of these critical structures in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
