Summary
This dam spans 530 feet in length and has a hydraulic height of 14.5 feet, with a structural height reaching 18 feet. With a storage capacity of 83 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.19 square miles, Reed #1 plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area. The dam is regulated by the Tennessee Safe Dams Program, ensuring that it is inspected, permitted, and enforced to maintain its structural integrity.
Despite being categorized as having a high hazard potential, Reed #1 is currently in satisfactory condition as of its last assessment in July 2020. The dam has a moderate risk rating of 3, indicating that there are measures in place to manage potential risks associated with its operation. The dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management measures are not specified in the available data, but the fact that the dam meets regulatory guidelines and is regularly inspected gives confidence in its ability to withstand potential emergencies.
Reed #1 serves as a vital infrastructure for water resource management in the Tipton County area, particularly for the Tributary North Fork Creek. With its strategic location and significant storage capacity, this dam plays a crucial role in flood control and water supply management. Its satisfactory condition and regulatory oversight by the Tennessee Safe Dams Program highlight the commitment to ensuring the safety and efficiency of this essential water resource infrastructure.

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.
