Summary

Completed in 1970, this dam boasts a storage capacity of 1200 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 981 acre-feet and a surface area of 30 acres. The dam's primary purpose is not specified, but it serves as a crucial water resource for the area.

Managed by the Tennessee Safe Dams Program, Goldeneye Lake has a significant hazard potential and is subject to regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity. The dam's condition was assessed as satisfactory during the last inspection in February 2020. With a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam is considered to have a moderate level of risk associated with its operation.

Situated along the Tribduck River in Williamsport, Goldeneye Lake is not equipped with a controlled spillway but has uncontrolled spillway type. Despite its lack of emergency action plans and inundation maps, the dam continues to provide essential water storage and management for the region, making it a vital piece of infrastructure for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and appreciate.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
