Summary
Clair County. Built in 1973 by the USDA NRCS, this Earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet and has a length of 925 feet, providing a storage capacity of 193 acre-feet. The primary purpose of Stolle is to support fish and wildlife, as well as recreational activities.
Despite its low hazard potential, Stolle is considered to have a moderate risk level, with a rating of 3. Although not currently rated for condition assessment, the dam has not been modified since its completion. The spillway at Stolle is uncontrolled, with a width of 120 feet, and the dam poses no immediate threat to the surrounding area. As a key feature in the TR North Fork river system, Stolle plays a vital role in the local ecosystem and water management efforts.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will appreciate the significance of Stolle in maintaining biodiversity and supporting recreational activities in the region. With its moderate risk level and low hazard potential, Stolle serves as a testament to the importance of proper dam management and maintenance to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and ecosystems. Its construction by the USDA NRCS highlights the collaborative efforts between private owners and federal agencies in promoting sustainable water resource management practices.

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.
