Veirs, located in Oakview, Tennessee, on the Meridian Creek, is a privately owned earth dam with a primary purpose that is not specified. Built in 1945, this dam stands at a structural height of 18.7 feet and has a hydraulic height of 12.7 feet. It has a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 31 acre-feet and a surface area of 6.1 acres. The dam spans 400 feet in length and serves to regulate the flow of water in the area.
Despite being privately owned and not regulated by the state, Veirs poses a low hazard potential with a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. The dam is not currently rated for its condition, and the last inspection was conducted in June 2018. The dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, and there is no information available on whether it meets guidelines for such plans or if inundation maps have been prepared. With no associated locks or spillways, Veirs remains a notable structure in the Memphis District of Tennessee, contributing to water resource management in the region.
