Pine Lake Reservoir Report
Nearby: Meadow Brook Game Farm Akers
Last Updated: February 28, 2026
Pine Lake, also known as William R Sloan Dam, is a privately owned reservoir located in Sumner County, Tennessee.
Summary
Built in 1965 by the USDA NRCS, this Earth-type dam stands at a structural height of 28.1 feet and has a hydraulic height of 20.4 feet. The primary purpose of Pine Lake is to serve as a Fish and Wildlife Pond, while also supporting Fire Protection, Stock, Small Fish Pond, and Recreation activities. With a storage capacity of 69 acre-feet, the lake covers a surface area of 3.5 acres and drains a 0.16 square mile watershed area.
Although Pine Lake is not state-regulated, it is monitored for safety with a low hazard potential rating. The dam has not been assessed for condition, but it undergoes inspections every 5 years, with the last inspection carried out in August 2016. Pine Lake is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway and has no outlet gates. The risk assessment for the dam is moderate (3), indicating a need for continued monitoring and risk management measures to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and environment. Located in the Nashville District, Pine Lake is a valuable resource for water enthusiasts and climate advocates looking to appreciate and protect this scenic area.

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.
