The dam has a storage capacity of 106 acre-feet, with a normal storage capacity of 80 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 5 acres and draining a 0.19 square mile area. Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, Bradshaw is subject to moderate risk, with an inspection frequency of 5 years and a last inspection date in September 2017.
Situated in Sumner County, Tennessee, Bradshaw is under the jurisdiction of the Louisville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Although the dam is not regulated by the state, it is not currently permitted, inspected, or enforced by state agencies. With no associated structures or outlet gates, Bradshaw relies on an uncontrolled spillway in case of overflow. The dam is in fair condition as it has not been rated, and there is no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place to address potential risks. Despite its moderate risk assessment, Bradshaw continues to provide essential water resource management in the region.
Overall, Bradshaw serves as a crucial water management structure in Tennessee, providing storage and drainage capabilities for the surrounding area despite its lack of state regulation. With a limited inspection history and no current EAP, there is room for improvement in ensuring the safety and integrity of the dam. As a private entity, Bradshaw plays a significant role in mitigating flood risks and managing water resources in the region, indicating the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance to uphold its functionality and safeguard the local community from potential hazards.
