Summary
The dam that forms the lake is primarily a rockfill structure, designed for both recreational use and water storage. The lake is situated along the Blackburn Fork Little Warrior River, providing a picturesque setting for outdoor activities.
Despite its importance for recreation and water supply, Inland Lake has a high hazard potential, highlighting the need for regular inspections and maintenance. Currently, the condition of the dam is not rated, and there is no established Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place. With its proximity to the river and the potential risks associated with high hazard potential, ensuring the safety and stability of Inland Lake remains a priority.
As a local government-owned facility, Inland Lake serves as a valuable resource for the community, offering opportunities for outdoor recreation and access to water supply. However, with its high hazard potential, stakeholders must prioritize safety measures and risk management strategies to protect the surrounding area and ensure the continued use and enjoyment of this important inland lake.

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.
