Summary
The dam, completed in 1952, is an earth type structure with a hydraulic height of 32 feet and a structural height of 40 feet, impounding Groggins Creek. The lake has a storage capacity of 481 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 294 acre-feet and a surface area of 23 acres.
Managed by the Tennessee Safe Dams Program, Glenview Lake has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. While the dam is not currently rated for its condition, it undergoes inspections every three years to ensure its safety and structural integrity. The spillway type is uncontrolled, and the dam has no outlet gates. Despite its relatively small drainage area of 0.15 square miles, the lake provides a serene recreational environment for residents and visitors in the area.
In the event of an emergency, contact information and emergency action plans are not readily available for Glenview Lake. However, with its scenic surroundings and moderate risk management measures, the lake remains a popular spot for fishing, boating, and other leisure activities. As climate enthusiasts, it is important to monitor the safety and maintenance of such water resources to ensure their sustainability and enjoyment for future generations.

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.
