Summary
Completed in 1982, the dam has a storage capacity of 79 acre-feet and serves the primary purpose of water resource management. With a low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, the dam is inspected every three years by the Tennessee Safe Dams Program to ensure its structural integrity and safety.
Situated in the Nashville District, Eubank Branch #1 is designed to control the flow of the Eubank Branch stream and has a spillway type of "Uncontrolled." The dam's drainage area is 0.23 square miles, with a surface area of 3 acres. Despite its moderate risk assessment rating, the dam has not undergone any modifications since its completion and does not have an emergency action plan prepared. However, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place, the dam remains an essential asset for water resource management in the region.
Managed by the state of Tennessee, Eubank Branch #1 plays a crucial role in safeguarding against potential flooding and ensuring sustainable water resource utilization. With a designated regulator, the Tennessee Safe Dams Program, overseeing its operations and inspections, the dam continues to serve its purpose effectively. As a vital piece of infrastructure in the region, Eubank Branch #1 exemplifies the importance of proactive dam management for climate and water resource enthusiasts alike.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
