Located in Sequatchie, Tennessee, Dunlap is a vital earth dam built in 2003 for the primary purpose of water supply. Managed by the Tennessee Safe Dams Program, this dam stands at a formidable structural height of 26.5 feet and has a hydraulic height of 24.5 feet. With a maximum storage capacity of 23 acre-feet, Dunlap serves as a critical resource for water management in the region.
Despite its satisfactory condition assessment as of July 2020, Dunlap poses a high hazard potential, prompting regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity. While the dam has an uncontrolled spillway type and no outlet gates, it remains a crucial component of the local water supply infrastructure, serving the community effectively. With a moderate risk assessment rating, Dunlap continues to play a significant role in water resource management in Tennessee.
Dunlap's presence not only safeguards against water scarcity but also highlights the importance of proactive risk management and maintenance in the face of climate change and increasing water demands. As an essential piece of infrastructure in the Nashville District, this dam underscores the need for sustainable water resource practices and the critical role of regulators in ensuring the safety and functionality of such structures.
