Summary

Constructed in 1994 by GRACE AND ASSOCIATES, this earth dam stands at a height of 12 feet with a hydraulic height of 10 feet. The dam provides a storage capacity of 72 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 8.6 acres, offering opportunities for boating, fishing, and other water-related activities.

Managed by the Tennessee Safe Dams Program, Carrollwood Lake "B" is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the state to ensure its safety and compliance with dam regulations. The dam has a significant hazard potential but is currently assessed to be in satisfactory condition as of the last inspection in March 2020. In case of emergencies, contact information and risk management measures are in place to mitigate any potential risks associated with the dam.

Despite its moderate risk assessment, Carrollwood Lake "B" continues to be a popular destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking outdoor recreation in the Memphis District. With its picturesque surroundings and recreational opportunities, this privately owned dam provides a tranquil escape for visitors to enjoy the beauty of nature while engaging in various water-based activities.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
