National Program of Inspection of Non-Federal Dams, Tennessee. Chancellor & Son Dam (Inventory Number TN 06939), Hatchie River Basin, near Saulsbury, Hardeman County, Tennessee. Phase I Investigation Report
This report is based on the findings of a Phase I inspection of Chancellor and Son Dam in Hardeman County. The earthfill embankment is 24 feet high and 550 feet long with a crest width of 15 feet. The service spillway is a 36 inch concrete culvert passing through the embankment near the crest. The drawdown drain is a 10 inch corrugated metal pipe with a slide gate at the inlet and a plug in the outlet. The emergency spillway is a triangular earth channel at the left end of the dam. The available data is insufficient to assess the potential affect of the seepage on the embankment. The reservoir has sufficient storage/spillway capacity to pass the PMF, but the embankment portion of the emergency spillway would probably deteriorate rapidly under high stage flows. Also, the service spillway is not properly designed to pass large flows. The spillways are therefore considered to be seriously inadequate. Because of these findings, Chancellor and Son Dam is considered to have a condition classification of 'unsafe nonemergency'.
