Summary

With a hydraulic height of 31.9 feet and a structural height of 35.3 feet, the dam stands tall along the TRIBPOTTERS CRK stream, offering a surface area of 4.5 acres and a drainage area of 0.03 square miles. The dam's primary purpose is to provide recreational opportunities for visitors, with a normal storage capacity of 27.5 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 44 acre-feet.

Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, Victory Ranch dam is regulated by the Tennessee Safe Dams Program, ensuring regular inspections, maintenance, and enforcement to uphold safety standards. The dam does not feature any outlet gates or locks, and its spillway type is uncontrolled with a width of 0 feet. The last inspection in October 2018 deemed the dam to be in good condition, meeting guidelines for risk management and emergency preparedness. Victory Ranch serves as both a picturesque recreational spot and a well-maintained water resource in the heart of Tennessee's countryside.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
