Summary
Built in 1972, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 24.6 feet and has a hydraulic height of 13.6 feet, showcasing a storage capacity of 1742 acre-feet. With a normal storage capacity of 434 acre-feet and a surface area of 78 acres, the dam serves as a vital water resource in the region, fed by the Crowfoot Branch.
Despite its significant storage capacity, Harvest Farms Lake poses a high hazard potential due to its uncontrolled spillway and has been rated as having a moderate risk level. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, it undergoes inspections every year to ensure its safety and integrity. The dam does not have outlet gates and is not associated with any other structures, highlighting its standalone importance in the water resource infrastructure of the area. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Harvest Farms Lake presents an intriguing case study of a privately owned dam contributing to the water management efforts in Tennessee.

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.
