Summary
With a structural height of 37.6 feet and a hydraulic height of 36 feet, it serves as a low hazard potential structure with a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 179 acre-feet, providing water resource enthusiasts with a surface area of 75 acres for various recreational activities.
Despite being a privately-owned structure, Flint Rock does not fall under state jurisdiction or regulation, as it is not subject to state permitting, inspection, or enforcement. The dam's primary purpose is recreation, offering visitors a serene and picturesque environment for outdoor enjoyment. While it has not been rated for its condition assessment, the dam is regularly inspected every five years, with the last inspection taking place in March 2015.
Flint Rock's design features an earth dam type with uncontrolled spillways and no outlet gates. The structure has a maximum storage capacity of 315 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.25 square miles. As a popular spot for local residents and visitors seeking leisure activities, the dam provides a unique opportunity to appreciate the intersection of water resources and climate in a beautiful natural setting in Maury, Tennessee.

Dam Data Reference
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.
