Cobb is a private dam located in Brownsville, Tennessee, along Tribbucks Creek. Built in 1962, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 17 feet with a hydraulic height of 14.2 feet. With a normal storage capacity of 40 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 60 acre-feet, Cobb covers a surface area of 7 acres and serves a drainage area of 0.04 square miles.
The dam, categorized as having a "High" hazard potential, has not been rated for its current condition. Despite being unregulated by the state and lacking inspection, permitting, and enforcement, Cobb remains a vital structure for water resource management in the area. With no associated structures and no outlet gates, this dam presents unique challenges and opportunities for potential risk management and emergency preparedness.
Even though Cobb has not been updated or assessed in recent years, its risk level is considered moderate. With its uncontrolled spillway type and a history of having no significant modifications or inspections since 2018, the dam poses potential risks that need to be addressed. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding and monitoring the condition and management of structures like Cobb is crucial for ensuring the safety and sustainability of water resources in the region.
