Huber, located in Rhea, Tennessee, is a privately owned dam with a primary purpose of recreation. Completed in 1980, this earth dam stands at a hydraulic height of 14.1 feet and a structural height of 20.2 feet. It has a NID storage capacity of 124 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 58 acre-feet, with a surface area of 10.3 acres and a drainage area of 0.06 square miles. The dam, situated on TRIBCAMP CREEK, falls under the jurisdiction of the Tennessee Safe Dams Program and is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement.
Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, Huber poses a moderate risk with a DSAC-assigned risk level of 3. The dam has not been modified in recent years and lacks certain emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and inundation maps. The last inspection was conducted in April 2019, with a frequency of every 3 years, and the risk management measures and risk character summary for Huber are currently unspecified. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and has no associated locks or gates for water control.
Overall, Huber serves as a vital recreational resource in the area, offering opportunities for water-based activities and enjoyment. Despite its moderate risk level, the dam remains a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts and visitors seeking to experience the beauty of Tennessee's natural landscapes. As efforts continue to enhance safety measures and risk management protocols, Huber stands as a testament to the importance of balancing water resource management with public recreation and enjoyment in a sustainable and responsible manner.
