Summary
Constructed in 1968, this dam provides a storage capacity of 73 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 47 acre-feet. The dam covers a surface area of 11.9 acres and has a spillway type classified as "Uncontrolled."
Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential and not having a condition assessment, Creswell Lake#24 is considered to have a moderate risk level, with a risk assessment rating of 3. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in August 2017, with an inspection frequency of every 5 years. While the dam does not currently have an emergency action plan (EAP) or inundation maps prepared, it meets regulatory guidelines and is managed by the Tennessee state agency.
Overall, Creswell Lake#24 serves as a vital water resource in the area, providing storage capacity and risk management measures for potential emergencies. With its strategic location and design features, this private earth dam contributes to the water infrastructure of Gibson, Tennessee, and plays a crucial role in mitigating potential risks related to water resources and climate factors in the region.

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.
