Summary
The dam has a maximum storage capacity of 32 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 4.6 acres with a drainage area of 0.65 square miles. The dam is associated with the TRIBBLACK CREEK and falls under the jurisdiction of the Nashville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Despite its relatively small size, B Lake #2 poses a significant hazard potential, with a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and the last inspection was conducted in May 2016. The spillway type is listed as uncontrolled, and there are no outlet gates associated with the structure. Emergency action plans, inundation maps, and risk management measures for the dam are not specified in the available data.
Overall, B Lake #2 serves as an important water resource in the region, providing storage for the surrounding area. However, its significant hazard potential underscores the importance of regular inspections, monitoring, and emergency preparedness to ensure the safety and integrity of the dam and the community downstream. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, B Lake #2 presents a compelling case study in the management and maintenance of small-scale dams in rural settings.

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.
