Stanley is a privately owned dam located in Lauderdale, Tennessee, that serves primarily for recreational purposes. Built in 1950, this earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet with a hydraulic height of 12 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 61 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Tennessee Safe Dams Program and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity.
With a surface area of 6.5 acres and a drainage area of 0.06 square miles, Stanley poses a significant hazard potential but has been rated as being in satisfactory condition as of the last inspection in July 2019. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and is situated on the TRIBDOUBLE BRANCH river or stream. While it has a moderate risk assessment rating, there are currently no emergency action plans or inundation maps prepared for the dam.
Overall, Stanley provides a valuable recreational resource in the region but also highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and the integrity of the dam structure. Climate and water resource enthusiasts may find Stanley's operational and regulatory details to be of interest, particularly in the context of managing and mitigating risks associated with dam infrastructure in Tennessee.
