B Lake #1 is a private earth dam located in Grundy, Tennessee, built in 1960 on TRIBBLACK CREEK. With a structural height of 15 feet and a storage capacity of 69 acre-feet, this dam serves as a vital water resource for the surrounding area. The dam's purpose and associated structures are not specified, but it is classified as having a significant hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.
Despite being privately owned and not regulated by the state, B Lake #1 poses a moderate risk due to its condition assessment being marked as "Not Rated." The dam's emergency action plan status is unspecified, and it has not been inspected since May 2016, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years. The spillway type is listed as "Uncontrolled," with no outlet gates specified, indicating potential challenges in managing water flow during high-volume events.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in B Lake #1 should note its location in a high-risk area and the potential implications of its current condition assessment. With no state jurisdiction or permitting, the responsibility for monitoring and maintaining this dam falls solely on its private owner. The lack of recent inspections and updates to emergency action plans may pose concerns for the structural integrity and safety of the dam in the face of varying weather conditions and potential emergencies.
