Womack, a privately owned dam located in Gallatin, Tennessee, was completed in 1947 on the TRIBDESHEA CREEK. This earth dam stands at a hydraulic height of 26.3 feet and a structural height of 28.6 feet, with a length of 406 feet. It has a storage capacity of 92 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 74 acre-feet on its 7-acre surface area, serving a drainage area of 0.07 square miles.
With a significant hazard potential and a moderate risk rating, Womack has not been inspected since August 2016, with a scheduled inspection frequency of 5 years. While deemed structurally sound with a condition assessment of "Not Rated," the dam lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and updated emergency contacts. It features an uncontrolled spillway and no outlet gates, posing challenges in potential flood management scenarios.
Despite being non-federally regulated, Womack's risk management measures and overall risk assessment remain unspecified. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the intricacies of Womack's design, purpose, and potential environmental impacts is crucial in ensuring the safety and sustainability of this essential water infrastructure in Sumner County, Tennessee.
