Summary
This Earth type dam, completed in 1950, stands at a structural height of 30.8 feet and has a hydraulic height of 26.7 feet. The reservoir has a storage capacity of 138 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 98 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 9.2 acres and serving the purpose of flood control on Troy Creek.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Englewood Lake is in satisfactory condition and undergoes inspections every three years to ensure its structural integrity. The dam is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway and has no outlet gates. In the event of an emergency, however, there is no information available on the existence of an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) for the dam. The risk assessment for Englewood Lake is moderate, emphasizing the importance of proper risk management measures to mitigate potential threats to the surrounding area.
With its picturesque location and critical role in flood control along Troy Creek, Englewood Lake is a noteworthy site for water resource and climate enthusiasts. As one of the many dams contributing to Tennessee's water management infrastructure, it stands as a testament to the state's commitment to maintaining its water resources in a safe and sustainable manner.

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.
