Summary
The dam stands at a hydraulic height of 25.4 feet and a structural height of 28.8 feet, with a length of 240 feet and a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Tennessee Safe Dams Program and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement.
The dam poses a low hazard potential and has been assessed to be in satisfactory condition as of July 2020. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, the dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management measures are not specified in the available data. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam serves as a vital resource for fire protection, stock, and recreation in the area, highlighting the importance of proper maintenance and monitoring to ensure the safety and sustainability of the water resource.
As part of the Nashville District, Davis #2 on Tribclifty Creek plays a crucial role in water management and conservation efforts in White County, Tennessee. The dam's moderate risk assessment underscores the need for ongoing evaluation and mitigation strategies to safeguard against potential hazards and ensure the continued availability of water resources for the community. Climate and water resource enthusiasts will find Davis #2 to be a noteworthy site for its ecological significance and the intersection of human activities with the natural environment.

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.
