National Program of Inspection of Non-Federal Dams, Tennessee. Candlewood Dam (Inventory Number TN 06928), Hatchie River Basin, near Saulsbury, Hardeman County, Tennessee. Phase I Investigation Report,
Abstract
This report is based on the findings of a Phase I inspection of Candlewood Lake Dam. The zoned earthfill embankment is 43.6 feet high and 800 feet long with a crest width of 24 feet. The dam is in the intermediate size and high hazard potential category. The reservoir has sufficient storage/spillway capacity to safely pass the full PMF. Erosion is evident in the emergency spillway channel, on the embankment abutment contacts, and on the downstream slope. Some indications of dispersive soils were noted on the downstream slope. Also, the downstream slope appeared to be excessively moist and some standing water was seen. Due to these findings, Candlewood Lake Dam is considered to be 'significantly deficient'.
