Summary
With a hydraulic height of 12.4 feet and a structural height of 16 feet, this dam spans 320 feet in length and has a storage capacity of 69 acre-feet. Despite being categorized as having a significant hazard potential, Reed #2 is currently in satisfactory condition, with its last inspection conducted in July 2019. The dam is under the regulatory oversight of the TENNESSEE SAFE DAMS PROGRAM, ensuring that state permitting, inspection, and enforcement activities are regularly carried out.
The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and serves the primary purpose of water storage. Its condition assessment in 2019 deemed it to be in satisfactory condition, with a moderate risk classification. Although the dam does not have associated outlet gates, it plays a crucial role in managing water resources and mitigating flood risks in the area. With its location in Tipton County, Tennessee, Reed #2 represents an important infrastructure for water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.

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.
