Summary
Constructed in 1966 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a hydraulic height of 12.8 feet and a structural height of 21.4 feet, with a storage capacity of 220 acre-feet. With a surface area of 14.5 acres and a drainage area of 0.89 square miles, Campbell Lake provides essential water resources for the surrounding agricultural community.
Managed by the local government, Campbell Lake is regulated by the Tennessee Safe Dams Program and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a moderate risk level, with a risk assessment rating of 3. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, it is maintained to meet regulatory standards and provide reliable water storage for irrigation and recreational activities in the area.
Campbell Lake's strategic location on TRIBPATTERSON BRANCH in Canaan, Tennessee, allows for efficient water distribution and utilization in the region. With its earth dam structure and rock-soil foundation, this reservoir plays a vital role in sustaining agricultural operations and supporting local water needs. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will appreciate the reservoir's contribution to water management and its importance in ensuring sustainable water supply for the community.

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.
