Summary
This site was completed in 1966 by the US Army for the primary purpose of flood risk reduction, with additional functions including debris control. The dam at Lake Site No.3 is an earth type structure with a height of 29 feet and a length of 300 feet, providing a normal storage capacity of 650 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 1300 acre-feet.
This picturesque lake, situated along the Tr- Fletchers Fort river or stream, covers a surface area of 100 acres and boasts a spillway width of 8 feet. Despite its low hazard potential, Lake Site No.3 undergoes regular inspections every 4 years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The site is managed by the US Army, which handles all aspects of operation, maintenance, and regulatory oversight, making it a vital component in the local flood risk reduction infrastructure.
With its serene surroundings and essential role in flood risk mitigation, Lake Site No.3 serves as a valuable asset for both the community and the environment. Its strategic location in Montgomery County, Tennessee, under the jurisdiction of the Louisville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, highlights its significance in protecting the area from potential water-related hazards. This site stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water resource management and climate resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
