Summary
Built in 1960, this dam stands at 14.5 feet tall with a hydraulic height of 9 feet and a length of 308 feet. It has a storage capacity of 55 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 6 acres, serving a drainage area of 0.19 square miles. The dam is classified as low hazard potential with a moderate risk assessment.
Despite being privately owned, Ingram is not state regulated or permitted, inspected, or enforced by the state regulatory agency. It has no associated structures and is not under the jurisdiction of any state agency. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway type and does not have outlet gates. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in October 2016, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. The condition assessment is currently not rated, and there is no emergency action plan in place.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Ingram an interesting site to study due to its historical significance and unique characteristics. With its moderate risk assessment and low hazard potential, this dam presents an opportunity for further research into dam safety and risk management measures. Its location along Carters Creek in Maury, Tennessee, adds to its appeal as a potential case study for understanding the impact of dams on local hydrology and ecology. The data on Ingram provides valuable insights for those interested in water resource management and climate resilience.

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.
