Summary
The dam on Whited Lake is classified as an Earth type, with a significant hazard potential. Despite its critical status, the dam's condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated," suggesting a lack of recent evaluation.
The lake's primary purpose is for recreation, offering a serene location for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy water activities. With no designated storage capacity or drainage area specified, Whited Lake's infrastructure remains largely undefined. The absence of inspection records and emergency preparedness measures raises concerns about the potential risks associated with the dam's operation.
As a water resource and climate enthusiast, exploring the complexities of Whited Lake unveils a narrative of untapped potential and environmental vulnerability. The lack of regulatory oversight and infrastructure data underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and sustainability of this picturesque waterway. Considered within the broader context of climate change and water management, Whited Lake serves as a microcosm of the challenges faced by communities striving to balance recreational enjoyment with environmental responsibility.

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.
