Summary
Built in 1970, the park features an earth dam with a hydraulic height of 16 feet and a structural height of 18.5 feet. The dam has a length of 2244 feet and provides a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 41 acre-feet. The park covers a surface area of 7.3 acres and has a drainage area of 0.03 square miles.
Despite being categorized as having a low hazard potential, Greenland Park has a moderate risk assessment score of 3. The dam is designated as uncontrolled spillway type with no outlet gates. The last inspection of the park was conducted in April 2020, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. The overall condition assessment of the park is currently listed as "Not Rated." Greenland Park serves as a valuable water resource for the community, providing recreational opportunities and supporting the local ecosystem.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Greenland Park offers a fascinating insight into the management of water infrastructure in Tennessee. With its unique design features and historical significance, the park represents a balance between water conservation and public safety. As climate change continues to impact water resources, understanding the engineering and risk assessment measures of facilities like Greenland Park becomes increasingly important for ensuring sustainable water management practices in the face of a changing climate.

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.
