Summary
This earth dam, completed in 1965, has a hydraulic height of 29.7 feet and a structural height of 32.5 feet, with a storage capacity of 272 acre-feet. The dam has a low hazard potential and is currently in satisfactory condition, last inspected in October 2018.
Managed by the Tennessee Safe Dams Program, Skymont #2 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state of Tennessee. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, the dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management measures are not clearly specified in the available data. Despite its recreational focus and relatively low hazard potential, the dam's risk profile suggests a need for ongoing monitoring and preparedness efforts to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the environment.
Located in Prairie Plains, Tennessee, Skymont #2 serves as a key feature along Beans Creek and contributes to the local landscape and water resources. Climate and water resource enthusiasts may find this dam's characteristics and risk assessment data intriguing, highlighting the importance of maintaining infrastructure resilience and safety in the face of potential hazards and changing environmental 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.
