Carter #2 is a privately owned dam located in Lincoln, Tennessee, with a primary purpose of recreation. This earth dam stands at a structural height of 25 feet and has a NID storage capacity of 120 acre-feet. The dam has a surface area of 12 acres and is categorized as having a high hazard potential, although its condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated."
Despite being located in an area with a moderate risk assessment, Carter #2 has not been inspected since January 2019. The dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared, and its last EAP revision date is unknown. With an uncontrolled spillway type and no outlet gates, the dam's risk management measures and inundation maps are also not readily available. Additionally, there are no associated structures or locks with the dam, indicating a potential lack of infrastructure for managing water flow.
Given the lack of recent inspections and essential emergency preparedness plans, water resource enthusiasts and climate advocates should monitor Carter #2 closely to ensure the safety and integrity of the dam. With its high hazard potential and unknown condition assessment, it is crucial to prioritize the implementation of risk management measures and the development of an updated EAP to mitigate potential risks to surrounding communities and the environment.
