Located in Hickman, Tennessee, the Spring dam is a private structure regulated by the Tennessee Safe Dams Program. Completed in 1988, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 38 feet and has a hydraulic height of 34.2 feet. With a normal storage capacity of 220 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 275 acre-feet, Spring dam serves the purpose of water resource management for the surrounding area.
The dam, situated on TRIBBEAVER CREEK, is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway and has a low hazard potential with a satisfactory condition assessment. Despite its moderate risk level, the Spring dam has not had any major modifications since its completion and is inspected every three years to ensure its safety and functionality. The dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management measures are currently not available, posing a potential area for improvement in the future.
With its strategic location and significance in water management for the region, the Spring dam remains a vital infrastructure for the community. As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to monitor and assess the impact of climate change on water sources, structures like the Spring dam play a crucial role in maintaining water security and mitigating potential risks associated with extreme weather events.
